CYPRESS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2002

Christie, first in DLP Cinema(TM) projection, is pleased to announce a sizeable quantity of its new DCP Series Digital Cinema projectors, with Texas Instruments' new m15 technology, have been purchased by Boeing Digital Cinema of El Segundo, CA.

Launched prior to ShoWest 2002, the DCP-H projectors are part of Boeing's plan to outfit theatres around the world.

"We are excited to be part of Boeing Digital Cinema's distribution plans. Christie has the largest number of DLP Cinema sites in the world -- we are confident in the leadership of companies such as Boeing and will work with them to integrate safely and efficiently these systems over the coming years," remarks Michael Mooney, Christie's Director of Digital Cinema.

Christie's DCP-H Digital Cinema projectors have successfully worked with satellite distribution systems for such events as Broadway Television Network's delivery of Jekyll & Hyde. Featuring the latest m15 DLP Cinema(TM) technology, the DCP-H has a light output of 12fL on screens up to 50-ft, a high native contrast ratio of 1350:1 and a color touch-screen control panel with Ethernet connectivity for easy set-up and monitoring. The DCP-H is a complete and safe projection system used for display on either flat or scope cinema screens. Christie's DCP-H integrates four DLP Cinema(TM) enhancements including CineLink(TM) Security Management, CineCanvas(TM) Image Management, CinePalette(TM) Color Management, and CineBlack(TM) Contrast Management.

Mr. Mooney will be a guest panelist on Digital Cinema magazine's first-ever Digital Cinema Summit series on Digital Cinema projection, to be held prior to this year's NAB convention, on Sunday April 7th from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Venetian Ballroom G, Venetian Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.
