Author Topic: CP2210 Koroye Seitonkumo Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Yenagoa, Bayelsa, Nigeria Registered: Aug 2018 posted 09-11-2018 04:12 PM                     Hi. I am negotiating for a used christie cp2210 to use at my cinema in Nigeria. Very small screen. 3/2 meters. I had seen a barco dp2000 for a not so bad price but then many people expressed concern so i might not be taking that. Any thoughts on this? What should I look out for?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-11-2018 05:34 PM                     Nothing specific to look out for, a good projector if difficult to work on - it was designed to be small, not to be serviceable. It requires replacement air filters and coolant changes periodically plus has a washable filter for the coolant radiator. If the image is OK - no stuck pixels - it's probably fine for what you want. I think the minimum lamp size is 1.4kW, way to much for your screen... but you can defocus the lamp and drop the brightness. I would recommend an NEC NC900 or a Barco 6E, but these are not very common used at a good price. You can run either of these with just one of their two HID lamps on for small screens. Both will be quieter than a CP2210, the 6E is very quiet. The heat output from a 1.4kW lamp is a concern as well. Pretty much all the lamp power is turned into heat, I don't know how many watts of actual light is produced but it's a fraction of total lamp power - plus about 10% of that light is infrared, which is filtered out and turned to heat before it can cook the DMDs.  |  IP: Logged Koroye Seitonkumo Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Yenagoa, Bayelsa, Nigeria Registered: Aug 2018 posted 09-12-2018 03:01 AM                     Ok. So should I go for it assuming it is working well? Will it better than the dp2000 at the same price?!  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-12-2018 05:22 AM                     Yes, I think it's a better choice overall: - newer - smaller - quieter - series 2 projector You still need a cinema server for it unless it has one built in - Solaria 1 or other.  |  IP: Logged Koroye Seitonkumo Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Yenagoa, Bayelsa, Nigeria Registered: Aug 2018 posted 09-12-2018 05:24 AM                     Server built in I was told...  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-12-2018 06:36 AM                     I would certainly choose a CP2210 over a DP2000, but still you need to look at the "fine print". How many running hours does the CP2210 have? Make sure it has the built-in IMS and try to get the specs of it. It will probably be a Solaria One. You need an external NAS for a Solaria One, as it doesn't have sufficient storage of its own. It's a Series 2 projector, so it's a newer generation and it's more suited for "smaller" screens than the DP2000. Still, it's a massive machine for the size of screen you're targeting at. Do you have a proper projection booth?  |  IP: Logged Muhamad Taufiq Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Bandung, Indonesia Registered: May 2015 posted 09-12-2018 09:14 AM                    Marcel, isn't Solaria One a projector? Similar to CP2208 but without IMB-S2.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-12-2018 09:45 AM                     Sorry for the confusion. The Soliaria One was indeed Christie's answer for the small-screen market with the integrated Christie Solaria IMS/IMB. That same IMS is also available for other Christie Series 2 projectors.  |  IP: Logged Koroye Seitonkumo Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Yenagoa, Bayelsa, Nigeria Registered: Aug 2018 posted 09-12-2018 10:07 AM                     We have a 4ft by 12ft boot. With a 1Hp AC.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-13-2018 04:17 PM                     Well, if you can't get a NEC NC900 or a Barco 6E, this might be a viable alternative. The stuff mentioned about the used Barco obviously remains. Maybe you should somebody let you give you a quote on a new Barco 6E (including the Alchemy IMS, but it's often hard to buy it without IMS and part of a bundle). It will probably be higher than that of a used CP2210, but still, all things considered, you'll be running a NEW machine with warranty and integrated server.  |  IP: Logged
