Christie
The Christie IMB-S3 is a high-performance Integrated Media Block designed for seamless integration with Christie CineLife™ projectors. It supports DCI-compliant playback with high frame rates—up to 120fps in 2K and 48fps in 4K—and handles bitrates up to 500 Mbps, ensuring smooth, high-quality content delivery. With built-in synchronization for multi-projector setups and a secure architecture that includes anti-tampering features, the IMB-S3 is ideal for premium and large-format cinema environments. It also features an integrated Screen Management System (SMS) accessible through the projector interface, streamlining scheduling, playback, and monitoring.
Unlike some standalone servers, the IMB-S3 requires external Network Attached Storage (NAS) for content ingestion and playback, offering flexibility in storage architecture. Its tight integration with Christie projectors simplifies operation and reduces system complexity, making it a reliable choice for theaters seeking robust performance and long-term support.
