Author Topic: Christie CP-2000X and 2000SB difference Michal Matys Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Prague, Czech Republic Registered: Nov 2014 posted 03-16-2018 07:50 AM                    Hi, Does anyone know what is the general difference between Christie CP-2000X and CP-2000SB? Is CP-2000X capable of Dolby 3D? Thank you Michal Matys  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-16-2018 09:23 AM                     CP-2000 SB is the super bright version of the projector.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-16-2018 11:07 AM                     The projectors are almost identical, the difference is that the SB has the integrated pedestal with rectifier and liquid cooling unit, the X has a projector module much like the SB but the rectifier is separate and the cooling system moved into the projector housing. That allows it to mount where the projection port is lower than the SB lens, saves installing a new port if that's even possible. Lumens output... probably the X at 21000 is a bit less than the SB (can't find its). Dolby had 3D kits for these, but do they now?  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

These projectors are old enough they can't do full size screen in triple flash so hardly ideal for Dolby 3D.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-16-2018 03:00 PM                     Both versions can be seen in this image....  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 03-16-2018 08:20 PM                     The SB should be able to do the full res triple flash. The X not so much. There is also an XB that can do it. Best to check whether it has an EFIB or XFIB board in it. FFIB is the one that can do the full res triple flash.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-18-2018 07:48 AM                     It all depends on the era and light engine they are equipped with.

FFIB goes with the light engine that can do full res triple flash.  |  IP: Logged Yinghong Wu Film Handler Posts: 32 From: Suzhou Jiangsu China Registered: Apr 2012 posted 03-26-2018 09:17 AM                     ZX is for small screen(3000w) and SB is for large screen(6000w).They all support triple flash 3D&DOLBY 3D.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 03-30-2018 03:37 PM                     Not true for the ZX. I have a pair that has the older lightengines in them along with the EFIB and will not do full res triple flash.  |  IP: Logged
