USL was showing of some new products current and in development for use in closed captions.  Closed captioning will soon be government mandated in many parts of the world.   As a cinema exhibitor, these new products are something you should be aware of.

MOVING iMAGE TECHNOLOGIES produces a full complement of motion picture equipment and services including: custom engineering, systems design, integration, digital technology solutions for 3D, digital cinema, pre-feature on-screen advertising and other components to support the cinema industry’s transition to digital.

CRU-Dataport is the standard way for sending DCI-DCP’s (Films in the DCI digital format) around via Hard Drive.  The CRU-Dataport system has been adopted by all (SMS) DCI-player manufactuer.  This allows you to plug the drive directly into the Player usig ualtra fast SATA interface to import/ingest the DCP onto the player.  Or in an emergancy, play the DCP directly of the hard drive.

The Sony TMS (Theatre Management System).

In this video, Sony shows of the new, soon to be FIPS compliant, 4K projector running the new RealD duel lens system.

We cover many aspects of the Sony system and how it compares to the more typical DCI implementations from the other projectors makers.

In this video we go over the Dolby cinema system.  From sound processor, Digital Video server, to 3D colour wheel and automation.

In this video I cover the new Dolby CP750 sound processor.

It includes showing the front and read of the unit, plus an overview of the software and built in xCurve capabilities.

This video covers USL audio procoessors and specifically the new JSD-100 which is specifically made for DCI installs.

A common issue overlooked by cinema owners when installing DCI cinema kit is the tools required for upkeep.  This video covers tools from USL that answer this need and hopefully help the cinema owner understand some of the ongoing costs and why they exist.

This video covers

• Projection Color Analyzer orspot meter (PCA-100)  for colour calibration of a DCI projector
• Video Convergence Camera (VCC-100) for aligning the RGB DMD/DLP chips on a DCI projector
• Projection System Analyzers(PSA-200U)
