Cinema Background
Located within Warsaw’s iconic Palace of Culture and Science, Kinoteka Multiplex is a landmark cinema that blends modern exhibition technology with rich cultural heritage. Since opening in 2001, Kinoteka has curated a diverse programme spanning mainstream releases, independent films, international cinema, film festivals, and special screenings—making it a cultural destination for both general audiences and dedicated cinephiles.
To maintain presentation quality in line with its premium positioning, Kinoteka continually evaluates technologies that enhance visual performance while improving operational efficiency.
Challenges
Prior to the upgrade, Kinoteka Multiplex relied on traditional Series 2 xenon lamp projection systems in two larger auditoriums, which presented several operational and presentation challenges:
- Poor Visual Performance: Insufficient brightness limited the quality and impact of 3D presentations. Constraints in colour accuracy and contrast further reduced the visual impact of films, making it increasingly difficult to support premium formats and deliver a consistently high-quality viewing experience.
- Frequent Lamp Replacements and Maintenance:Regular lamp changes and servicing resulted in increased downtime and higher operating costs.
- Low Energy Efficiency:Excessive heat generation shortened component lifespan and increased cooling demands.
Results
With the upgrade to the CineUnion Pure RGB laser light Source, Kinoteka Multiplex now delivers:
- Enhanced Visual Performance:Significantly brighter and more uniform images across both screens. Colours appear richer and more accurate, contrast is noticeably deeper, and overall image sharpness has improved—enhancing visual impact for every film.
- Reduced Maintenance and Greater Reliability:The transition from xenon lamps to a laser light source has substantially reduced maintenance requirements. The long lifespan of the laser modules minimises servicing needs and unplanned downtime, enabling smoother and more reliable day-to-day operations.
- Improved Energy Efficiency:The laser light source eliminates recurring lamp replacement costs, generates less heat, and reduces reliance on external cooling systems. As a result, Kinoteka benefits from lower energy consumption and a more sustainable projection solution compared with traditional xenon lamp-based systems.
