Seven Christie DWU19-HS laser projectors deliver stunning visuals on the left citadel wall and the sails of a massive onstage warship, immersing audiences in a vivid reimagining of this pivotal Three Kingdoms conflict. Since its debut in April, the production has drawn large crowds, offering visitors an unforgettable blend of history, artistry, and technology.
“The high brightness, rich color reproduction, and rock-solid reliability of the Christie DWU19-HS projectors enable ‘Red Cliff: Borrowing the East Wind’ to achieve a perfect fusion of light, shadow, and storytelling,” said a spokesperson from Jianye Display. “Iconic scenes and characters from the Battle of Red Cliff are brought to life with extraordinary realism, heightening immersion and offering a fresh cultural tourism experience at this historic site.” The “Red Cliff: Borrowing the East Wind” cultural performance combines live performance, sets, and projection technology.
Installation of the projection systems was completed in just one month, despite demanding conditions. With some projectors installed high above the performance area, Jianye Display’s technical team implemented strict safety protocols and used advanced 3D simulation to calculate projection angles and positioning, ensuring precise coverage and seamless image blending. To withstand dust, moisture, and unpredictable weather, all DWU19-HS projectors underwent rigorous testing to ensure reliable long-term performance in this outdoor venue.
