The Mexican entertainment network Alboa, belonging to the Cinemex Group, has installed 85 laser projectors of 1DLP technology of Christie in the 13 complexes that it has in different parts of the Aztec country. The operation has been in charge of the integrator T&T Cinema.

For Alboa, audiovisual media has always been a first-rate resource to enrich their complexes and provide unique experiences to their customers. The chain had Christie lamp projectors and some time ago decided to migrate to laser projection technology to offer a higher quality, reduce costs and increase their efficiency.

Alboa has installed different models of the Christie GS Series, from the 5.600 to the 13.000 lumens and resolutions from HD to WUXGA, DWU630-GS is the standard in most of its centers. GS Series incorporates BoldColor technology that significantly improves performance and color saturation.

Each Alboa center uses five projectors to display sports content, musical and entertainment. The equipment is installed in the areas of the bowling lanes and project in all cases on a screen with gain 1,8 of a single canvas. All Alboa centers have a video matrix that distributes the image.

Fernando Poblador does not want to fail to highlight the service provided by Christie: "For Alboa, after-sales is the most important thing and we have always had the support and support of Christie Mexico, achieving a close and long-term relationship".

For Clayton Brito, Director of Christie's Enterprise Division in Latin America, this operation represents another step in the long relationship between Christie and the Cinemex Group: "We could not be happier for the lasting trust placed in us by Alboa and the Cinemex Group..
