What if your projector could maintain its first-day picture quality throughout its entire lifespan? What if color balance and brightness could automatically adapt to time and environmental changes, ensuring consistency? Dream no more! Christie's LiteLOC technology makes it possible, delivering unparalleled viewing experiences with picture quality that stays as good as new!

In the film projection industry, picture quality is the key to audience satisfaction, and the core elements of picture quality are brightness and color stability. Whether it's a xenon lamp or a laser light source, there's an unavoidable issue—performance degradation, which leads to reduced brightness and color deviation over time.

LiteLOC is equipped with a built-in Color and Brightness Sensor (CSB) that accurately monitors the projector's output brightness and color parameters (Cx, Cy, Cz) in real-time. When environmental factors like temperature, humidity, or light source performance change, LiteLOC uses advanced algorithms to instantly adjust the light source, ensuring that brightness and color remain at their initial high-quality levels. This effectively overcomes the fluctuations in picture quality caused by performance degradation.

Simplified Operation, Lower Technical Barriers

LiteLOC technology simplifies projector setup, eliminating the need for cinema staff to use complex color calibration tools or possess specialized calibration knowledge. Users can easily complete adjustments through an intuitive interface, and the projector automatically maintains high-quality picture output. This significantly reduces maintenance costs, shortens maintenance time, and improves cinema operational efficiency.

LiteLOC 1.0 Version

1. Create a Laser File

In the menu bar, select "Laser Settings > Laser Power/LiteLOC Settings."
Click the "+" icon in the top-left corner of the interface to create a laser file.

2、Testing and Adjustment

Enable the "Display White Test Pattern" in the top-right corner, and set the temperature on the left to 3 degrees higher than the current temperature.

Use a color calibration device to measure the brightness and color values at the geometric center of the screen. Adjust the red, green, and blue percentages based on the measurements until the target values are achieved (e.g., screen reflectance brightness of 14FL, X=0.314, Y=0.351).

3. Activate LiteLOC Function

Enable the LiteLOC function in the bottom-right corner. The system will record the current Cx, Cy, and Cz values and begin real-time monitoring and adjustment of the projector's output, ensuring stable brightness and color.

LiteLOC 3.0 Version
LiteLOC 3.0 has this feature enabled by default and cannot be manually turned off to prevent accidental deactivation. This version is even more user-friendly, requiring just three steps.

1. Create a Laser File
2. Adjust the Power Slider
3. Save the Laser File


Users can adjust the light intensity based on their visual preferences without worrying about significant color deviations caused by power adjustments. This is thanks to Christie's extensive data collection during factory calibration and the use of sophisticated algorithms to integrate and process this data, ensuring stable, high-quality picture output under all conditions.

LiteLOC technology, with its advanced automated light source adjustment system, addresses long-standing issues in projection equipment, such as poor brightness and color stability, and complex calibration processes. This technology not only enhances the viewing experience but also improves maintenance efficiency and reduces costs for cinemas, truly delivering "picture quality that lasts like new."
