Dual Projector Digital 3D Brightens the Future for Cinemas
Atlab Image & Sound Technology (AI&ST) has supplied and commissioned the first two-projector stereoscopic 3D commercial digital cinema sites in Australia and New Zealand. The sites, in Brisbane, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand were ready for the release of Disney's feature, "Meet the Robinsons".
Using the newly updated Dolby Digital Cinema System and separate left eye and right eye projectors that are fitted with fixed circular polarising filters, the sites are able to reproduce 3D images with stunning depth and clarity.
Ben Wilson, AI&ST's Sales and Marketing manager comments: "Because there are two projectors, this system provides greater light output than active-shuttered single projector set-ups used elsewhere. This means the system can be used in cinemas with a larger seating capacity. Additionally, no third party license fees are payable. Both factors positively contribute to greater box office potential."
From March 29 (March 31 in New Zealand), "Meet the Robinsons" audiences wearing state of the art 3D glasses will be transported by digital projection to the world of Lewis, an orphan with a genius IQ and a passion for inventing.
