VDR technology: bringing dark details of movies to life!

2025-05-21

Christie's Revolutionary VDR Technology Unveiled at CinemaCon 2025

At CinemaCon 2025, Christie unveiled its revolutionary VDR technology. This patented technology significantly improves cinema projection quality, reduces energy consumption, and extends equipment life. Let's take a look!

What is VDR and how does it work?

VDR is a patented projection technology, enabled by a software update, designed specifically for the CineLife+ series of Real|Laser light source projectors. It dynamically adjusts laser output power by analyzing each subsequent frame in real time. This optimizes content for contrast, black detail, and energy savings while preserving the original creative intent.

VDR performance will be enhanced as follows:

  • Energy Efficiency: Laser power consumption is reduced by an average of 32%, and light source life is extended by 50%-70%.
  • Image Quality Improvement: Detail in dark scenes is enhanced through optimized black rendering.
  • Ultra-High Contrast: When paired with a UHC (Ultra-High Contrast) lens and playing HDR content, sequential contrast can reach 60,000:1.

Key Advantages of VDR:

  • No special mastering required; compatible with both standard and HDR content.
  • Available for existing and new CineLife+ series RealLaser projectors via a software update.
  • Low-cost upgrade, requiring only a low software upgrade and licensing fee.

For example, a CineLife+ series RealLaser projector operating at 70%-80% laser power:

Before upgrade:

Approximately 50,000 hours of service life (approximately 10 years).

After VDR upgrade:

Lifespan extended to approximately 75,000 hours (approximately 15 years).

This projector maintains stable light output throughout its lifecycle, reducing total operating costs.

Christie has been deeply involved in cinema technology for over 60 years, consistently leading industry innovation from the film era to digital projection. The introduction of VDR technology is designed to help exhibitors deliver superior image quality and enhance the viewing experience, while also extending equipment life and optimizing operating costs.
