GABHA Studios Selects Christie CP4420-Xe Cinema Projector

GABHA Studios has chosen a Christie CP4420-Xe cinema projector for its new colour finishing suite at Westland Row, Dublin, Ireland.

The independent VFX studio delivers high-end visual effects, colour grading and mastering for commercials, broadcast, TV, film and content. Installation was carried out by Christie partner Kaurus, who opted for a Christie CP4420-Xe with 2.0KW LB Xenon and Premium High Contrast Zoom lens.

"At GABHA, we knew we needed the premiere projector for the job," said Andrew Francis, partner and senior colourist at GABHA. "This was so we could compete on the world's stage and enable our collaborators to experience their projects in the best environment. Peter and the Kaurus team were highly recommended by various leading post- filmmakers. They all agreed there would be nobody else they would suggest for a build of this quality."

The brief to Kaurus was the theatre and projection system needed to be similar or better than a Hollywood suite. “Christie was chosen for this project because they have been designing and manufacturing the very best of DCI projection for cinema for many years,” says Peter Sutton, technical director and co-founder, Kaurus. "The performance level of its product has been the cornerstone to the mastering of hundreds of film and TV projects. Christie delivers images with sharp detail, colour accuracy, consistency, and flexibility. This collective is key for integrator and client trust."

"This Series 4 DCI-compliant projector from Christie has upped the ante on specifications for 4K with a 12G input capability. It caters to the latest advances in post-production infrastructure and the most recent specifications for HDMI for alternative content. The new suite of lenses also offers outstanding optical performance."

Francis, who has been digital colour timing for the last 12 years, added: "We knew this suite wasn't going to be straightforward, mainly because the site selected wasn't a green space. We were able to fit out this beautiful theatre into a unique open space in this Georgian building in the heart of Dublin. The results are sensational!"

"Without trust in the integrator, the manufacturer, and the product, a post facility can't realise its goal. They provide a space with the right tools and skillsets which their clients – the filmmakers, advertising agencies and documentary makers – trust to finish their particular labour of love," added Peter.

"One of the most gratifying aspects of what we do was typified with GABHA. They work on very high profile, globally far-reaching projects and saw what they felt Dublin, and Ireland as a whole, needed. Discussing every aspect of this suite with them – from concept to a functioning service – and having them take on board our opinions and suggestions was an absolute pleasure."
