							What sets Christie’s Solaria Series apart?
The Solaria Series offers system specifications that accommodate 
both 2K and 4K resolution versions of the projectors helping create 
cost effective and widely compatible digital cinema solutions. All 
Solaria projectors have precise brilliant color that you expect from 
Christie with superior contrast ratios and the light output necessary 
to light up even the largest auditoriums. Furthermore, the next 
generation DLP Cinema electronics platform features increased 
bandwidth capabilities that expand the menu of options for alternative 
content and alternative revenue streams for your cinema. 
3D is already taking movies and the theater experience to new and  
exciting levels, both with the incredible images the projectors can 
deliver and the creativity that the new tools allow. The Solaria Series 
incorporates Christie’s Brilliant3D
TM (full 2K resolution triple flash) 
technology for the most realistic and brightest 3D presentations.  
And as the leader in the market, we know what it takes to manufacture 
and integrate a solution that is right for you.
The future of 4K
When you’re ready, your Solaria Series digital cinema projector  
is ready for 4K. The CP2220 and 2230, our mid and high projectors 
respectively, were designed from the start to be fully upgradable  
to 4K technology. As a result Christie’s 4K upgrade path is the  
fastest and most cost effective in the industry. 
We have taken this opportunity to improve not only performance,  
but also the design and interaction of the world’s most-installed 
cinema projection line-up.
The high reliability of our solutions means that even in the most 
critical situation you can depend on Christie.

The Christie Solaria Series features:
•		
A modular design making it easier for you to swap and access 
any component you need quickly – we’ve incorporated quick 
disconnects and easy access areas to allow swift diagnostic and 
repair of any major component.
•	 	 Built-in diagnostics on the back of the projector, in the user interface 
and on the input panels that indicate projector status at-a-glance 
from anywhere in the projector booth or a remote user interface.
•	 	 By improving our popular Touch Panel Controller platform and 
incorporating it on all of our new cinema projectors, the Christie 
Solaria Series offers operators an intuitive, simple to use interface. 
With new remote diagnostic and operational capabilities,  
any PC on the network can be used to control any projector  
either locally or from afar. 
•	 	 The split-body design of Christie’s Solaria CP2230 revolutionizes 
the world of digital cinema projection. The separate projection 
head and ballast lets you put very high power in almost any space. 
The improved universal ballast gives you maximum flexibility.
•	 	 New electronics and software improve the reliability and uptime 
of Solaria projectors and the increased bandwidth allows for faster 
start up times.
•	 	 A new level of system integration with options for an integrated 
media block, streamlined installation support for 3D systems and 
the fastest, most accurate motorized lens mount in the industry.
Additionally, due to the ability to deliver higher brightness with lower 
power lamps, all current and next generation Christie projectors offer 
up to 25% lower cost of operation than competing technologies.  The high reliability of our solutions means that in the most critical 
situations you can depend on Christie to outperform the competition. 
Our Christie CP2220 projector uses only a 3K lamp to produce more 
lumens than our competitors do with a 4K lamp. As such, it costs you 
less to power our products and you get better results – which keeps 
money in your pocket over the long run.
The products in the Solaria Series offer a wide range of resolution  
and brightness levels for exhibitors who require projection for the 
smallest to the largest screens. Included in the series are the Christie 
CP2210, Christie CP2220 and the Christie CP2230 giving you the 
ultimate projection solution in terms of reliability, operating costs  
and upgradability both now and in the future.

							CP2210
Weighing in at only 98lbs and packing nearly 
15,000 lumens of output, the CP2210 is the 
industry’s most compact DCI compliant 
projector available today. With a new lamp 
warranty and pricing structure, the CP2210 is 
the projector of choice for small screens and 
post production applications that demand 
performance and reliability in a small, 
affordable package. Based on .98" DLP 
Cinema chip technology, the CP2210 uses 
high efficiency CDXL-SD series Xenon  
lamps, while the competition requires larger, 
3000 watt lamps for the same light output –  
a clear Christie advantage on cost of 
ownership and lumens per watt.
Christie’s CP2000 Series projectors are the 
most deployed digital cinema projection 
solution in the world. Our digital cinema 
projectors light up screens around the  
world with the latest digital releases from 
major studios. Choose the projector that 
best meets the size of your screen and  
the requirements of your theater.
CP2220
Achieving over 18,500 lumens with just  
a 3kW lamp, the CP2220 is the workhorse  
of the industry providing you with a  
solution that accommodates the majority  
of auditoriums in the market with a compact 
easy-to-install projector that can be set  
up in a matter of minutes. Purpose-built  
for exhibitors, the CP2220 delivers a 
 
cost-effective, compact solution for flexible 
mounting, servicing and installation.  
The CP2220 is built on proven and reliable 
1.2" 2K DLP Cinema chip technology, 
featuring a contrast ratio greater than  
2000:1 and reproducing 35.2 trillion colors.
CP2230
With over 30,000 lumens, the CP2230 is our 
brightest digital cinema projector for screens 
nearly 100 feet wide. Freed from the 
requirement of a dedicated pedestal, the 
CP2230 can be installed nearly anywhere.  
In the most confining spaces or where space 
is at a premium, you can still put on the best 
show possible with the highest output of any 
projection system available on the market.
