Cinema market and equipment in Canada

Major exhibitors:

Christie is a Canadian manufacturer (Kitchener, Ontario), so CP2220/CP2230/CP4230 and CDXL lamps are very common; Barco and NEC follow. IMAX head office is in Mississauga; IMAX xenon systems use 7 kW–15 kW lamps.

Practical notes

Because the duty line is Free, the landed cost is essentially lamp price + freight + GST/HST. Quote in CAD or USD; most projection dealers in Canada are used to USD.

What mains supply do projection booths in Canada use?
