Archiving Appropriate Light Levels on the Screen for 3D by Andrew Robinson of Harkness Screen

This is a very interesting talk mainly because it is the first time i have seen an independent industry person put on paper the actual light levels of each of the 3D system.

With all the marketing hype, this is a good place to start with deciding on what system best suites you.

Showest 2010 UNIVERSITY: Overview of 3D Systems Available in the Marketplace and new developments.

A great talk by Bill Mead.  Get up to date fast with how 3D makes it to the Cinema screen in every incarnation.  Plus a nice overview of the history of where it came from.

Very interesting.

digitAll announced a new tool called dcpPlayer at the show for those wishing to preview non-encrypted DCP’s such as Trailers and Advertisements.

dcpPlayer is a PC based DCP preview utility that allows you to view a DCP on a windows based PC.

The advantages of this tool include.

• The ability to view a DCP without the need to wait for your DCP screen to become available to you.
• Lets you free of the before sessions start or after session finish before you can check a DCP.
• Reduces the need to strike a lamp to view a DCP.
• Allow you to more simply view a DCP without having to walk into a cinema.
• content creators making DCPs can test DCPs created with third part DCP creation software before they send the files.
• An amazing tool for sending full bit depth video around the Internet.  Currently there is no real solution for sending more then 8bit depth colour video for preview.
