CinemaCon 2011 – 10 – Perforated Screen with Severtson

Writing by jamieg on Friday, 29 of April , 2011 at 12:34 am

Perforated screens or screens with small holes in them so the sound can pass through with less destortion, can be a major problem in the digital age.  The perforated pattern and the pixel grid in the projector can interfere producing a visible moire pattern on screen.

Ron from Severtson Screens tells us how we can deal with these issues.

CinemaCon 2011 – 01 – Introduction

Writing by jamieg on Wednesday, 13 of April , 2011 at 10:25 pm

CinemaCon 2011 is the new home of the largest cinema conference in the world. (This replaces the old Showest conference)

This year has been very eventful for cinema exhibition with a number of major developments.  This includes the predicted death of film in the US region, 4K availability and the push towards innovation in the display of films.  Specifically faster frame rates such as 48 or 60.

This year I was able to collect a rich set of videos covering many aspects of these developments at CinemaCon2011.

Please view this video to get my overview of the show plus see some of the new technologies shown on the exhibition floor.
