Christie , the global leader in visual displays and audio technologies, is proud to announce that Southern Theatres has completed its second all Christie entertainment complex, at the new Southern Theatres Movie Tavern 8 in Covington, Louisiana. The eight-screen cinema eatery is powered exclusively by Christie Solaria Series projectors and Christie Vive Audio cinema systems, comprised of Christie's innovative line array wall and ceiling surround speakers, purposely crafted and built for the cinema environment. Christie's Professional Services team provided complete design, integration and installation services and will continue to provide 24/7 remote monitoring and ongoing technical support through Christie's Network Operations Center (NOC).
The new complex includes a Movie Tavern Xtreme (MT-X), an enhanced entertainment auditorium featuring a large 3-story silver screen, 2D and RealD 3D capability, and the Dolby Atmos audio format. This includes Christie 4K DLP Cinema projection, the Dolby Atmos audio format, and Christie Vive Audio immersive cinema system, which unlocks the full potential of leading DCI digital-cinema audio formats. The set-ups feature the LA5S, LA3C and LA3S for wall and ceiling surrounds, the LA3 for screen channels, and the S215 subwoofer.
We're excited to continue to bring the latest developments in cinema projection and audio technology to our patrons at the Movie Tavern 8 in Covington, LA. The exclusive use of Christie digital projection was never in doubt, but we've also chosen to equip every auditorium with Christie Vive Audio because we believe its revolutionary speaker design provides the benefit of improved sound coverage to every seat in the house, said Danny DiGiacomo, Director of Marketing, Southern Theatres.
In our Movie Tavern Xtreme auditorium (MT-X) , the Christie Vive speakers unlock the full potential of Dolby Atmos sound technology playback and, combined with Christie's 4K digital projection, allows us to deliver the ultimate movie viewing, listening, and dining experience for our guests, noted DiGiacomo.
The remaining seven auditoriums are configured for the Dolby 7.1 audio format and will feature the LA1 and LA3 configuration for screen channels and the LS3S for wall surrounds. Complementing the impeccable immersive surround sound provided by Christie Vive Audio, the auditoriums will also be equipped with Christie CP2215, CP2220, and CP2230 DLP Cinema projectors, members of Christie's Solaria Series, which offer crisp, bright pictures on every screen.
Within a year of launch, Christie Vive Audio has established a reputation for superior performance to meet the demands of today's motion picture content, setting a new standard in immersive cinema sound, said Patrick Artiaga, director, business development, Audio Solutions, Christie. We're pleased that Southern Theatres has again selected the complete Christie family of digital projection and cinema sound solutions to fill every auditorium with the most lifelike, realistic movie-viewing experience available today.
Christie's Global Professional Services team was involved exclusively from the beginning of the project to the end, providing unparalleled professional consultation, integration, installation, and design services for all eight of the auditoriums.
Christie is truly a one-stop-shop' for all cinema needs. We created the layout, designed the technology floor plan, and installed and integrated all of the products in the auditoriums for Movie Tavern 8, said Sean James, vice president, Global Professional Services, Christie. We will also continue to maintain the systems to ensure everything is running smoothly through ongoing technical support and 24/7 remote monitoring from our Network Operations Center.
Added DiGiacomo, An all Christie' cinema complex is best serviced by an all Christie' service and installation team. We knew we could trust Christie in every aspect of this project to deliver the complete Christie experience,' from superior projection to superior sound to superior installation and ongoing technical support.
