CHRISnE
THE NAME BEHIND
THE SYSTEM
There's a very important difference in
xenon consoles — the name behind the
console.
When you select a console, you must have
equipment you can trust. Christie has the
skill, knowledge and conscientiousness
to build a product you can rely on.
The name Christie has been synonymous
with DC power engineering excellence for
nearly 50 years. And, Christie is putting
the experience to good use in the
projection room, pioneering new products
and ideas, including the console concept.
Our equipment has been engineered for
durability and reliability.
That's one reason why Christie's UL listed
consoles are currently being used around
the world by such leaders as Cinema
National, United Artists, Pacific Theatres,
General Cinema, Loew's, Filmways, and
A.C.F. Kinekor.
When the.Christie name is on the console.
it's a console you can depend on
