As light and image evolve from simple projection to a core engine for building immersive environments, Christie draws on decades of technological expertise to unveil a new flagship projector lineup. Built on four core strengths—true RGB laser, high frame rates, extreme lightweight design, and full-range 3D capabilities—Christie redefines the performance limits of professional audiovisual systems, leading a revolution from “viewing” to full immersion for cultural tourism night tours, themed entertainment, large-scale venues, immersive performances, and more.
I. Flagship Performance Lineup: Three Series for Full-Scenario Professional Demand
Christie’s new projector portfolio centers on three flagship series: Griffyn 4K50-RGB, Sapphire 4K40-RGBH, and Korus 4K1400-KS. Covering ultra-bright large screens, compact installations, immersive 3D, and high-frame-rate interactivity, the lineup fully satisfies the professional market’s demand for both extreme performance and flexible application.
1. Griffyn 4K50-RGB: The King of Large-Screen Visual Performance with 50,000 Lumens
As Christie’s flagship model for large-scale environments, the Griffyn 4K50-RGB delivers a peak brightness of 50,000 ISO lumens (44,500 ANSI lumens), acting as a dedicated visual engine for screens up to 4.3 meters wide, eliminating the common weaknesses of dim, washed-out images in conventional projectors. Equipped with a 3DLP 1.38-inch DMD chip, it features native 4K (4096×2160) resolution and 98% Rec.2020 ultra-wide color gamut, restoring cinematic color and detail with precision. Whether for fantastical themed park scenes or grand building projection mapping, it delivers saturated, transparent, and richly layered visuals.
In terms of performance, the Griffyn 4K50-RGB supports esports-grade high refresh rates of 4K@120Hz and 2K@480Hz, completely eliminating motion blur and stuttering for smooth, flawless delivery in immersive interactive content and high-speed motion scenes. It also features an integrated sealed optical engine and omnidirectional installation design, supporting 360-degree flexible deployment. Combined with built-in Twist™ geometric correction and edge blending, it enables effortless multi-projector tiling and irregular-surface projection, greatly simplifying installation for large-scale projects. Using a solid-state RGB pure laser light source, it offers a light source life of up to 25,000 hours with field-replaceable modules, balancing long-term stability and maintenance convenience—making it ideal for large venues, night tours, and themed entertainment.
2. Sapphire 4K40-RGBH: Hybrid Laser 3D Flagship, a Benchmark for Immersive Stereoscopic Experience
Designed for the strict demands of immersive 3D environments, the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH innovatively integrates RGB pure laser and laser-phosphor hybrid light source technology, delivering an ultra-high brightness of 40,950 lumens while retaining DCI-P3 wide color gamut and native 4K resolution, achieving perfect balance between brightness and color. Featuring Infitec® color comb 3D technology, it fully supports both active and passive 3D formats with up to 60Hz per-eye frame rate, creating deep, ghost-free, comfortable stereoscopic visuals perfect for dark rides, multimedia attractions, and giant visualization walls.
Unlike conventional 3D projectors that suffer from image degradation, the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH maintains consistent brightness and color performance between 2D and 3D modes through precise color calibration and optical optimization, delivering a tangible, lifelike sense of immersion. It supports all screen types, including curved, circular, and irregular surfaces, providing a one-stop 3D visual solution for cultural performances, science museums, and themed attractions.
3. Korus 4K1400-KS: Lightweight 4K Benchmark, Big Performance in Compact Spaces
Breaking the industry stereotype that “high performance equals large size,” Christie introduces the Korus 4K1400-KS, weighing only 17.25kg—30% lighter than comparable models—while delivering robust performance of 14,250 lumens and native 4K UHD+ resolution, making it a standout choice for confined spaces, historic buildings, and museum exhibitions. Powered by a 0.8-inch HEP DMD chip, it offers native contrast of 1,500:1 and dynamic contrast of 25,000:1, accurately reproducing shadow detail and color gradation. With eight interchangeable lenses including ultra-short throw options, it adapts to everything from close-range displays to large distant screens.
Blending performance and convenience, the Korus 4K1400-KS supports both active and passive 3D playback, with built-in Twist™ geometric correction and optional Mystique™ camera-based auto-alignment for precise projection without complex setup. Using an efficient blue laser-phosphor light source, it lasts 20,000 hours in full-power mode and up to 30,000 hours in ECO mode, balancing energy efficiency and long-term cost of ownership—ideal for museums, immersive restaurants, and small performance spaces.
II. Four Core Technologies: The Foundation of Immersive Audio-Visual Excellence
The exceptional performance of Christie’s new projector series comes from four disruptive technologies that create technical barriers in light source, imaging, installation, and interaction.
1. RGB Pure Laser / Hybrid Laser Technology: Ultimate Balance of Brightness and Color
Moving beyond traditional lamp limitations, the Griffyn series uses solid-state RGB pure laser for consistent, fade-free brightness with color purity far beyond conventional sources. The Sapphire series employs hybrid laser architecture to retain cinematic DCI-P3 gamut at extreme brightness. The Korus series uses laser-phosphor technology to balance lightweight design and high performance. These three technical paths resolve the longstanding industry conflict between brightness and color accuracy.
2. High Frame Rate + Full-Range 3D Technology: Dual Breakthroughs in Smoothness and Immersion
The Griffyn series’ 4K@120Hz and 2K@480Hz high frame rates, paired with the Sapphire series’ full 3D compatibility, eliminate motion blur and dizziness in dynamic and stereoscopic content. Christie’s proprietary 3D calibration ensures consistent brightness and color for both eyes, enhancing realism in immersive environments.
3. Ultra-Lightweight + Omnidirectional Installation: Breaking Spatial and Installation Limits
The Korus series’ 30% weight reduction, combined with the lineup’s 360° installation, sealed optics, and efficient cooling, removes restrictions of space, load-bearing capacity, and mounting angles. High-performance projection can now be easily deployed in historic structures, museum ceilings, and outdoor themed environments without compromising performance.
4. Intelligent Correction + Multi-Unit Management: Efficient Deployment and Stable Operation
The entire lineup features built-in Twist™ geometric correction and edge blending, with optional Mystique™ auto-alignment and Guardian real-time correction to simplify multi-projector mapping and curved-surface setup. Christie Conductor software enables monitoring and control of up to 256 devices remotely, ensuring stable large-scale system operation and reducing maintenance costs.
III. Scenario Empowerment: Reshaping Audiovisual Ecosystems Through Technology
Christie’s new projector lineup empowers a wide range of sectors including cultural tourism night tours, themed entertainment, large venues, cultural exhibitions, and immersive performances, turning light into a narrative medium that integrates people, scenery, and technology.
In cultural tourism night tours, the Griffyn 4K50-RGB illuminates giant buildings and landscapes with 50,000 lumens for stunning light shows. The Sapphire 4K40-RGBH delivers lifelike 3D for immersive experiences and dark rides. The Korus 4K1400-KS brings compact, high-quality immersion to ancient streets and small galleries.
In themed entertainment and large venues, the three series combine to cover main screens and detail projections. High frame rate and 3D technologies create impactful experiences for theme parks, science museums, and stadiums, while the Korus series supports interactive zones and display areas for unified visual design.
In cultural exhibitions and immersive theaters, the Korus 4K1400-KS excels in museum displays and small theaters with precise color and compact size. The Griffyn and Sapphire series provide 4K clarity, high brightness, and stereoscopic vision for large performances and digital heritage projects, bringing history and art to vivid life.
