Okay, here's the bottom line on the system for me. It's a vast improvement over conventional 4-perf 24fps. The improvement is as vast as seeing a DVD from when previously, you only saw VHS. And it isn't going to cost IMAX prices to get that improvement. Here's a document. http://www.maxivisioncinema.com/maxivisioninfo2000.pdf If it's technically impossible to do what they did, please tell me now. I don't want to invest time into it if it doesn't work and I'm just being had. I don't know if they addressed the points you outlined for projection. I do know they claim to allow rental of the projection equipment for US$280 a week. That's at 2000 prices. I've just asked the guy how much it would cost for mod only today. As for my original question, that apparently gets more significant. If this new system is that new and that different, what am I looking at for duplication prices, then? > Leo Jamo +BIL > Dr. Leo Enticknap > Director, Northern Region Film and Television Archive > School of Arts and Media > University of Teesside > Middlesbrough TS1 3BA > United Kingdom > Tel. +44-(0)1642 384022 > Fax. +44-(0)1642 384099 > Brainfryer: +44-(0)7710 417383 > > ---- > Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite > http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite
