In this video I discuss the Pink and Green colours on screen and why some times we get them by mistake when going into a show.  This is the result of 3D content mixed into a 2D show.

From here we discuss how we can display content supplied in 3D, and make it work on a 2D screen.

In this video I describe a new 3D presentation method in which you do not mask out all the unused area.  This area is used to enhance the 3D effect. I then show the Video from Walt Disney which shows a new SCOPE on FLAT 3 effect.  Finally I  describe a major problem with the use of this technique.

  In this video I take a look at the RealD-XL 3D attachment for DCI-cinema digital projectors. I look at how the new XL product, an evolution of the Z-Screen system, can re-use the light discarded by the z-screen and effectively double the efficiency of the original Z-Screen system.

RealD is dominant in the 3D market.  The XL, with its supiriour light output, is likely to keep them their as it allows the use of mid-sized projectors (Cheaper cost/running) then 3D systems comeing before the XL.

Jim Reisteter, General Manager, Digital Cinema Division at NEC takes us through whats happening with NEC projectors and roll out announcements.

Sperling from DTS shows us the MasterImage 3D system. This system uses polarising filters by using a spinning wheel in front of the DCI projector lens.  It can be moved from projector to projector.  It requires a silver screen like all Polarising 3D system.  It also  makes use of the inexpensive/disposable 3D glasses.

Christie Digital, Jennifer takes us though some of the new features to the Christie Digital Cinema Range and we take a close look at the new mechanical lens for 2000 series digial cinema (DCI) projectors.  See THIS link for a link to a Video on ow to INSTALL the lens kit.

Today l show you how Cinema lenses are evolving. From the simply old 35mm Prime with Turret, to the more modern lenses for DCI projectors.
I also have a special treat. An old 2perf 35mm 3D cinema lens.

3D based on polarizing lenses is todays topic. In this video I do visual demonstrations of linear and circular (As in RealD 3D system) polarizing glasses.
I discuss the need for a silver screen and do a demonstration of why you need one.

In this video I show you the LCD active glasses in action for DCI 3D digital cinema. In this case, the Xpand 3D glasses old and new are demonstrated.
I demonstrate how they work in a cinema, showing them in action.
I also cover some of the advantages and disadvantages of this system compared to others.

Here I do a brief description of some of the 3D systems available in Cinemas today.  I also show the Xpand3D LCD system in action.  Note: the LCD type system I show in this video is commonly used by IMAX 3D systems and required active glasses that have a battery and LCD shutters over each eye.  These shutters change as a Infra Red pulse light, invisible to the eye, is flashed into the theatre and picked up by a sensor on the glasses.  This is the most portable of the 3D systems available in my experience.

I will do a in depth version of the 3D at a later podcast.
