Drive-in movie theaters have always faced their fair share of technical challenges. Most notably, high levels of ambient light coupled with the limited amount of light that could be thrown on the screen has had a serious impact on the quality of projected images. Now, two multi-screen drive-ins in Texas have found a solution with digital technology from Christie®. Thanks to the installation of Christie CP2230 projectors, both facilities are now enjoying brighter, sharper images and top-notch reliability on their outdoor screens.
What is the cost of a Christie CP2230 or equivalent projector? The distribution of new product in 35mm will soon end. 35mm prints will not be available. How much investment is involved in converting to digital? It would be hard to run a drive in with classics from the 70's and who would go? Without 35mm, many existing drive ins would have to close. Nice to see this examp-le of a digital drive in, i had just heard of the Spuid's.
