Christie and Dolby have revealed their renewed collaboration for the next generation of Dolby Vision laser projection systems.

The Dolby Vision laser projection system has more than twice the brightness of normal cinema presentations and a contrast ratio of more than one million to one.

For highly saturated and real-life colours, the 4K projection system will use RGB pure laser illumination to enable Dolby’s Wide Colour Gamut 1.0. That is almost twice the colour gamut of Rec. 709 and 122% of DCI-P3-capable projectors.

“Christie has been central in Dolby’s ongoing mission to deliver Dolby Vision experiences to more cinemas,” Cinema director, business & strategic planning Pascal Sijen, Sr. says.

“We look forward to bringing exhibitors this new projection solution that offers the same industry leading and award-winning image performance, all while making it dramatically more efficient and easier to adopt by exhibitors.”

It has a lightweight design with a smaller chassis to integrate easily into a range of premium theatrical offerings. This includes the Dolby Cinema and the Dolby Vision+ Atmos solution.

“We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with Dolby,” Christie executive director Cinema, Americas, Christie Dr. Don Shaw says.

“From a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts, and Sciences for the Christie E3LH Dolby Vision Cinema Projection System, to delivering cinematic excellence on screens around the world, this renewed partnership builds on over 10 years of successful collaboration.”

The Dolby Vision laser projection systems will begin to distribute in May 2025.
