European Cinema Trio Screen Avatar with CINITY System

A trio of European cinemas has installed the CINITY Cinema System allowing moviegoers to see Avatar: The Way of Water in superb clarity. The CINITY Cinema System, developed over a three-year period by CINITY, in collaboration with Christie, offers creative blending of 4K, 3D, high brightness, high frame rate, high dynamic range, and wide colour gamut display capabilities, paired with immersive sound. Cineplex Cinema in Aachen, Germany, Arena Cinema in Zurich, Switzerland, and the Arena Cinema in Geneva, Switzerland now all feature a CINITY Cinema System, allowing European audiences the opportunity to experience it for the first time. "It's amazing to see the CINITY Cinema System reach European shores, marking another stage in the progression of this exciting cinema technology," says Adil Zerouali, senior sales director for cinema, Christie. "We are honoured to be involved with CINITY in developing the latest technologies to drive performance ever higher, as we work together to continue to push the boundaries of theatrical presentation and audience engagement. The performance of the CINITY Cinema System is unparalleled, and when paired with a masterpiece such as Avatar: The Way of Water, the result is spectacular. I'm looking forward to hearing the feedback from European audiences."

The CINITY Cinema System improves the overall sound quality, and yields clearer images, brighter colours, and smoother motion to greatly improve the quality of cinema screenings. Christie provides high-performance digital projection technology and services to CINITY Cinema Systems as a CINITY projection system partner and reseller.

CinionicKinopolis Delivers a Laser-Powered Experience to German Moviegoers

Cinionic, the leader in laser-powered cinema solutions, and Kinopolis, one of the largest cinema groups in Germany, team up to bring audiences Laser Projection by Cinionic in time for the holiday moviegoing season. The installs are the first phase of a new project to bring laser-powered cinema to 48 Kinopolis screens across Germany by 2025, replacing xenon projection with next-generation Barco technology from Cinionic's alllaser portfolio. Working with our local integrator Vandors, laser projection from the award-winning Barco Series 4 line-up now powers the premium auditoriums at Kinopolis' (m)k6 in Munich, Main-Taunus in Sulzbach, and Gießen locations. The upgrade delivers elevated movie presentation with laser-sharp images, exceptional brightness, deeper contrast, and vivid colours. Moviegoers can look forward to experiencing this year's most hotly anticipated movies on laser-powered screens for an experience that is unlike anything available outside of a cinema.

"With our new Barco laser projectors, we offer our guests a projection quality that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of brightness, contrast and colour. Our new partnership with Cinionic underlines our firm belief in the future of cinema and helps us pursue our declared goal to always offer our guests the best possible cinema experience," explains Gregory Theile, Managing Director of the KINOPOLIS Group. Kinopolis' move to laser delivers more than an enhanced image. Thanks to the ecodriven design of Barco Series 4 and the elimination of Xenon lamps in the projection booth, the result on screen is both better for the viewer and the planet - boosting energy savings of as much as 70 per cent compared to traditional digital projectors. The chain also benefits from greater efficiency in its operations at each site with an ultra-low maintenance schedule and consistent on-screen performance over time. "Moviegoers around the world are seeking elevated cinema experiences, especially during the upcoming holidays," says Wim Buyens, CEO, Cinionic. "By moving to laser projection, Kinopolis offers audiences in Germany a new way to enjoy movies with bright, vivid colours, high-quality presentation which stays consistent over time." Kinopolis' locations join more than 30,000 locations around the world illuminated by Laser Projection by Cinionic. Since launching laser projection to the cinema market in 2014, leading cinemas are selecting Cinionic laser solutions as part of complete projection solutions designed to deliver world-class cinema experience to a new generation of moviegoers.
