Edfu Temple

Egyptian technology company Horizon for Trading & Contracting used four Christie Roadster S+20K 3-chip DLP® projectors to stage their most ambitious integrated show to date, at the Temple of Horus in Edfu. This was the first time that large format projection has been used in any of Horizon’s shows.

Technology

With expertise in professional projection systems for more than 80 years, Christie has established a global reputation as the leading manufacturer of a variety of display technologies and solutions. Our broad range of technologies include LCD, LED and DLP projectors, digital cinema projectors, networking solutions, rear-screen projection modules, projection cubes, display controllers, and cutting edge 3D, virtual reality and simulation solutions. We also offer Christie MicroTiles, the world’s first fully creative, modular, digital display tiles.

Christie is recognised as one of the most innovative visual technology companies in the world.  We have 12 patents, 2 academy awards and countless industry awards

Christie is one of three licensed manufacturers to make and sell projectors featuring Texas Instruments’ (TI) Academy Award winning DLP Cinema® technology.  Christie was the first licensee of DLP Cinema technology and the first Digital Cinema technology to be adopted by the Hollywood community.  We pride ourselves on being the first with a 2K digital projection solution, the first to offer a 4K ready solution, and the first to introduce TI’s new advanced Series 2 DLP Cinema technology.

Recent technological achievements:

  • Christie's 4DColor
    The latest innovation in LCD technology, Christie 4DColor™ offers a new level of LCD real-colour performance; performance that doesn’t compromise projection brightness. A fourth LCD has been added to increase the colour gamut by 20% while at the same time increasing brightness by nearly 10%. Furthermore, the inorganic alignment layers used by the LCDs greatly improve the contrast ratio. This not only results in deeper blacks but enhances the colour reproduction still further, while ensuring those colours stay brilliant for years to come.
     
  • Christie Matrix StIM
    The Christie Matrix StIM™ is the worlds’ first light emitting diode (LED) driven DLP simulation projection system.  It is industry-renowned and has won several awards for new technology and simulation display expertise.  The infrared signatures stimulate actual Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) allowing operators of the system to use their own night-vision goggles rather than special training goggles.  With the NVGs responding just as they would in the real world, users can see both visible and infrared images, independently at the same time, for a more natural training experience.  It is recognised industry-wide as a game-changing solution that allows those in the military and training industries to do their job with greater efficiency, greater performance and lower operating costs.  The Christie Matrix StIM is also the first intelligent projection system to enable real-time balancing and optimization of colour, brightness and black levels on a frame-by-frame basis and it’s the first system designed for simulation and training with solid-state LED illumination, with no consumables for a virtually maintenance-free system.
     
  • Christie MicroTiles
    Taking display technology to a new level, Christie  MicroTiles™ are built on proven DLP technology and specifically designed for maximum image quality in demanding indoor, high ambient light environments. These individual, lightweight modules lock together quickly and easily to form any size or shape of digital display.  Leveraging the strengths of both DLP projection and Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, Christie MicroTiles offer substantially brighter images and a much wider colour palette than conventional flat panel LCD and plasma displays. With no practical limit to the number of tiles in a display, Christie MicroTiles produce a virtually seamless canvas with an unlimited number of super-fine pixels.
     
  • Christie Entero LED Series
    The Christie Entero™ LED Series is the first LED ultra-high resolution DLP display system.  It is ideally suited to the needs of control room and video wall environments.  Packed with industry firsts and using solid-state technology, it is virtually maintenance free.  The innovative cooling system features three sets of redundant cooling fans to reduce any potential downtime.  Innovative liquid filled heat pipe technology provides optimal cooling for long term reliability.
