More likely 2k or maybe 4k projection. But who knows for sure, until they make the official announcement.
For me, as a former "uptight" film projectionist, I can finally go to the theatres and have a great picture. And no more run-down equipment that's barely maintained (not all theatres are like this, but there are many). heath

The last time I was there was for Cool World and one side of the theater had no seats and there were tall oscillating fans where those seats had been (because the air conditioning was out). It was about 95 degrees (35C for you metrically disposed folk) and all I remember about the movie was that I wished it would end soon. ;-) |

5k resolution:
http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=69751 Movie theatres had to start using safety film because the old stuff used to catch on fire! heath ps-I saw Cool World in a West Palm Beach, Florida theatre when I was 16. I worked at that theatre 2 years later and they had to change the carpets every 3 years because of the smell!

I wasn't aware that anyone had a 5K system shipping yet. Sorry.
Ah, West Palm. I used to ride my motorcycle down there all the time for concerts and stuff. Place has changed a lot over the years. Hey, is the Hollywood Sportatorium still there? I think I just veered off-topic. ;-) Quote:

I think that's long gone. If you want, email me and we'll talk South Florida.
