essentially the same “ look ” at a cinema with One of 2K d-Cinema ’ s supposed a 2K d-Cinema projection system with what they get in their living room home theatres . advantages is its superior resolution over Hmmm , not too compelling and certainly no more “ picture perfect .” So , why install HDTV , but , in doing the math , a 2K projector ? The technology is now over a decade old and has been obsolete Jim Lavorato wonders how long it ’ ll be for some years as Sony ’ s d-Cinema delivers before home viewing wins the day . a 4K image ( 4,096 lines ) having not twice , but four times the pixel resolution of its 2K counterpart .
In comparison , 35mm film has 6-8K resolution and IMAX film with 70mm / 15 exhibitor describe the 2K perforations-per-frame is , quite literally , Digital PHILIP Cinema TURNER image as “ off the resolution scale ”. And yet , there EFA “ picture perfect .” That Editor-in-Chief is a movement to install 2K CineFinance
d-Cinema got me thinking : Just how projectors in IMAX Theatres – is this not a good is 2K d-Cinema giant technological leap backwards ! Why is presentation compared to it some in the Movie Industry continue to other images we see daily ? embrace a technology that offers the public High Definition Television ( HDTV ) is a poorer presentation , one that is becoming 1,080P or 1,080 lines of vertical resolution / less relevant by the day ? I ’ d attended the progressive scan , with an aspect ratio of International Consumer Electronics Show 16:9 or 1.78:1 . 2K d-Cinema has ( as the in early January where I ’ d fully expected 2K prefix implies ) 2,048 lines of resolution to be viewing HDTVs at a resolution of but , unlike HDTV , these are measured 1,380P or even higher , which was the case . horizontally , not vertically , with an aspect
So , by this reasoning , in the not-too-distant future home cinema-viewing will be more ratio of approximately 1.9:1 .
Converting HDTV ’ s 1,080 vertical “ picture perfect ” than 2K d-Cinema . lines into horizontal lines ( 1,080 x 1.78 ), So , to all 2K d-Cinema proponents , the resolution now becomes 1,922 lines , I implore you , quit this madness ! In therefore , 2K d-Cinema and HDTV are resolution terms , you ’ re losing the battle more or less equivalent TREVOR when it HARRIS comes to and should make a dignified GRAHAM exit .
