Christie is a global leader in the manufacture of visual solutions for business, entertainment and industry.
Interview with Dale Miller, Vice President EMEA at recent SATIS french trade show.

Terms like d-cinema and e-cinema are often over-used and have lost some of their meaning. Christie became the first licensee of DLP Cinema technology IN 2000, the only digital display technology currently endorsed by Hollywood and the first to develop a 2K digital cinema projector using this technology for digital cinema exhibition. This follows 75 years of development and manufacture of cinema technology, which has seen Christie receive two academy awards and remain the only manufacture of both film and digital projection systems in the World.
Christie maintains the practice of developing purpose-built display systems despite offering amongst the widest selection of display technologies. Today Christie systems are used to meet applications as diverse as digital cinema for movie exhibition to 3D stereo displays used by the automotive and avionics industries for product modelling.

Christie, now celebrating its 75th Anniversary, has pioneered projection technology and is credited with many industry firsts - in particular those associated with CRT systems, cinema and digital projection and has received two awards for technical excellence from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
