The Christie Cinema 2K-RBe series (CP2406-RBe, CP2409-RBe, and CP2411-RBe) are high-brightness cinema projectors designed for professional use in cinema environments. These projectors are equipped with advanced features to ensure optimal image quality, reliability, and ease of use.
Function Description
The Cinema 2K-RBe projectors are designed to display digital video content, primarily for cinema applications. They utilize a three-chip 0.69-inch CFB DC2K light engine, which provides a powerful and consistent light source. The projectors support various video input formats, including HDMI 2.0 and SDI, allowing for flexible content delivery from integrated media blocks (IMBs) or external sources. A key feature is the LiteLOC™ sensor-to-screen calibration, which ensures that color and brightness are maintained at desired levels, adapting to varying screen sizes, room temperatures, and content types (2D, 3D, and alternative content). The projectors also offer mechanical and electronic image adjustment capabilities for precise alignment and convergence.

Usage Features
- Installation: The projector requires a minimum of four people or appropriate lift equipment for safe installation. It must be installed in a landscape orientation with all four feet supported on a level surface. Optional exhaust ducting is available for thermal management.
- Power Connection: Requires a permanent AC connection. An optional UPS connector provides backup power for electronics. Certified wall breakers (up to 20A for main input, 10A for UPS input) are required.
- Projector Components: Features adjustable feet for height, a projector lens, air filter intake, top cover, status LED board, optional touch panel mount, card cage for external devices and fire alarm interlock, and multiple air intake/exhaust points.
