Helios, the largest independent cinema chain in Poland, has signed a multi-year agreement with Christie to convert its entire chain to RGB pure laser projection.
Over the next couple of years, all Helios screens will be equipped with Christie’s CineLife+ series and CineLife+ IMB-S4 media servers.
2025 will see Helios start its transformation by installing 63 pairs of projectors and servers in eight cinemas, including a mix of 4K and 2K RGB pure laser and RBe enhanced laser.
The first projectors were installed in all eight screens at Helios Poznan in March, with installation at Helios Blue City in Warsaw, Helios in Gdynia, and Helios Forum in Gdansk to follow.
Tomasz Jagillo, CEO and managing director, Helios, commented: “We have 30 years of experience using only Christie projectors – from the first series to the latest laser models. The products have proven themselves reliable in their class, with the highest image parameters.
“On my first day at work in our first cinema, I asked the technician what their ideal projector would be and they said Christie. What I learned in the first two hours of my first day, I made come true for my team as we grew. There is a magic in Christie projection.”
