The QALIF Solution, from Highlands Technologies Solutions, Selected By the Cinemas Gaumont Pathe for Advanced Screen Calibrations 25 Jun 2013

Highlands Technologies Solutions (HTS) is proud to have signed a partnership with the French leading exhibitor network, Cin mas Gaumont Path (CGP), for the pilot rollout of its projector calibration solution, named Qalif , within the multiplexes network.

As part of the pilot, the rollout includes 10x CGP multiplexes sites carefully selected; it will then be followed by a full deployment scheduled in a second step. CGP will use a fixed version of Qalif in premiere theatres, and a mobile version in every site. A central monitoring will also be implemented.

Offered as a full stand-alone solution, Qalif is an innovative measurement and calibration tool for the digital projection system quality.

It measures all the digital cinema screening parameters such as colour gamut, luminance, uniformity, focus, convergence, sequential and intra-frame contrast, and as a result, helps to fine-tune automatically the projector settings, the lamp settings and to log each parameter during operation.

For instance, using Qalif, the projector lamps will also have better operating conditions, which will extend their life and reduce the maintenance costs for the exhibitors. Indeed, after every lamp replacement, Qalif automatically adapts the power in order to increase the lamps lifetime and improve their working conditions as advised by the lamp manufacturers.

Qalif takes care the modes changes, and adapts to 2D and 3D projections.

The Cinemas Gaumont Path network will use Qalif to obtain and secure the highest level of quality for projection, as well as automatic alignments of dual projectors 2K/4K. Using the central monitoring, Qalif will also trigger the field visits to optimize the field maintenance costs.
