Christie Digital Systems Unveils Groundbreaking Korus Series Laser Projectors, Redefining Immersive Visual Experiences
February 26, 2026, China — Christie Digital Systems, a global leader in visual and audio solutions, today announced the launch of its new Korus series laser projectors, including the highly anticipated 4K1400-KS and the high-performance 4K1000-KS. These innovations mark another milestone in Christie’s technological leadership, setting new standards for premium projection with unmatched image quality, flexibility, and energy efficiency across cinema, enterprise, education, entertainment, and beyond.
Unmatched Image Clarity for Immersive Experiences
The Korus series is powered by Christie’s proprietary 0.8-inch HEP DMD chip, supporting 4K UHD+ (3840×2400) resolution to deliver razor-sharp detail. Key features include:
4K1400-KS: Delivers 14,250 lumens of brightness and a dynamic contrast ratio of 25,000:1, ensuring vivid imagery even in well-lit environments.
4K1000-KS: Offers 10,000 lumens with optimized energy efficiency, ideal for mid-to-high-end applications.
Both models utilize laser phosphor light source technology, boasting a lifespan of 20,000 hours (extending to 50,000 hours in ECO mode) for reduced maintenance costs and continuous operation.
Innovative Technologies for Flexible Applications
The Korus series is engineered for versatility, integrating cutting-edge features:
Intelligent Calibration & Fusion
Standard Christie Twist geometric correction and edge blending ensure seamless multiscreen setups.
Optional Mystique camera-based auto-calibration enables rapid, precise alignment for large-scale venues like domes, theme parks, and virtual production stages.
Modular Lens Options
Eight specialized lenses (including ultra-short-throw Z-series) cover projection ratios from 0.34:1 to 8.64:1, adapting to spaces ranging from compact meeting rooms to expansive arenas.
Multi-Protocol Connectivity
Interfaces include dual HDMI 2.0, HDBaseT 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2a, 12G-SDI, and USB 2.0, ensuring seamless integration with control systems and signal sources.
Efficiency and Reliability at Scale
Low Power Consumption & Quiet Operation:
Standard mode consumes 755W (noise ≤40dBA); ECO mode further reduces power to 38dBA for quiet, 24/7 operation.
Future-Ready Scalability:
Supports active/passive 3D playback (up to 60Hz per eye), multi-projector synchronization, and integration with Christie’s smart camera ecosystem. Lightweight design (17.25kg) ensures easy deployment.
Industry Recognition and Awards
The Korus series debuted at ISE 2026, winning accolades for “Advanced Technology Innovation” and “Best Exhibit at ISE”. Christie’s Global Vice President remarked: “The Korus series isn’t just a leap in tech—it’s a commitment to making every frame unforgettable.”
