  • The next big evolution of cinema is Laser. Watch me take apart the first commercially available Hybrid Laser projector. Lasers promise near lamp free operation plus less power and less heat.
    In this video we look at the BPP (Blue Pump Phosphor) Laser light source and how it replaces the typical xenon lamp.

    In my opinion, one of the greatest benefits of seeing a film shot on celluloid in a digital medium like a 4K disc or digital projector is that when the film is scanned from the original negative, all the grain one sees is what originated on the negative. When a film is projected on celluloid, additional grain is introduced, even if the print is a second generation away from the negative. So ironically, when a filmmaker like Tarantino champions that his films should be seen on celluloid, digital projection can in some ways represent more accurately what the negative captured. One advantage celluloid has had over digital projection for a long time is in contrast and resolution. But with 4K laser projectors I think that advantage will slowly disappear. Especially considering that 99.99% of all movies shot on celluloid today are finished using a Digital intermediate. Which means that even if celluloid prints are being made, they will be struck from that DI and be limited to the resolution of the DI, which most likely will be lower than the resolution of the film print. If you then add on the extra grain and softness that get introduced from the print I think that a film that was shot on celluloid and then receives a 4K DI will look better on a 4K laser projector than on a film print. But I do believe celluloid has the advantage when it comes to older movies that were finished photochemicly and shoot on large formats like 65mm and VistaVision. Because then the true resolution of film is being taken advantage of (as long as the print doesn't come from a digital restoration of that movie, even 2001 a space odysseys 8K restoration probably don't take full advantage of a 65mm print, but digital restorations has of course other benefits, like damage removal.) After the introduction of the Digital intermediate the full potential celluloid has been lost when it comes to resolution, but has also given the filmmaker more freedom with color grading and special effects. I look forward to the day when 8K,10K,12k DIs are the norm.

    Is the DCI spec for xenon 14-17fl centre screen (2D) and a -3fl decrease towards the edges?

    • @JamesGardinerCineTechGeek
      @JamesGardinerCineTechGeek 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, That sounds about right. These days, with laser, you get less drop of on the edges. You would need to look up the SMPTE spec for exact details.

    • @CineTechGeek

      It really depends on your location in the world. So I cannot really say. These cinema grade projectors have the special Secure media block that is FIPS compliant. That makes them especially expensive compared to domestic projectors of the same quality.

    Pirate-proof? What can be protected can be broken. I'd argue that it's really just not worth the effort given a bluray release happens within mere weeks once the film has left the theater. That and the real Piracy-proof aspect comes from the lack of accessibility to the hardware in order for someone to snag the files from the LMS to hand over to piracy groups for decoding.

    • @CineTechGeek
      @CineTechGeek  7 років тому +2

      +LexGoyle the effort needed to brute force unenrypt a dcp is huge you would need billions worth of supercomputer and a lot of time (like years) to even attempt it. So it is pirate proof in that it is completely unreasonable to decode a dcp that would ever make up for the billions in effort to do so..
      So in effect it is pirate proof. But yes theatrically not impossible..

    Nec is and always will be a Frankenstein machine.
    I have never liked them, they don't give the same quality as a Christie or Barco.

    • @CineTechGeek
      @CineTechGeek  8 років тому +1

      +Christopher Pettersen all digital projectors are very similar.. Mainly because they all revolve around the same core technology. I agree Barco spend much more time on engineering and the price of the units show this. Barco is what I would likely select if money was no object or other technical issues existed. NEC, from the 100 units or so we sold over the years has been surprisingly reliable. And that is the core of the decision. If you have a budget, NEC is a reasonable and likely best choice, no worse then Christie or Barco.
      The image quality is most common situations is no better or worse then the other vendors. (Due to it being the same core DLP technology in the projectors..) Debate on how well different projectors work and the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is another story and a much more complex discussion.

      I coldn't disagree more. While the Series 1 NEC's were rats nests they were none the less uber reliable and many are still in use. They cleaned up the wiring in the Series 2 and the reliability continued on just fine. I;ve installed 334 NEC Series 2 projectors and have had issues with just five of them. Some of them are now over 6 years old. Light output is not as great as other brands but light output isn't everything. Properly spec'd they equal anything out there. For reliability they are better then the others, at least for me.
