full color, digital, polarised. Its new. There is a single digital projector showing the frames alternately at 144 fps. Looks great go see it...Phil |

Hi Phil. Hope you are enjoying California and not missing the Stereoscopic Society Journal's in-depth reports of meetings, competitions and social events. Nice to know you are staying behind the stereo window ! |

I belive the projetor works only on 4x24fps = 96 fps |

It is 144 hertz. LRLRLR per frame. |

hi captain3d could you explain a little more about the way chicken little 3d is projected? Is active or pasive 3d? LRLRLR per frame? how do they achieve that? |

The movie is stored on a dual stream hard drive server which feeds the Christie 2k project. The projector can opperate a 144 hertz, 6 times faster than film. The movie frames (24 fps) are projected alternately LRLRLR for each of the 24 frames. This is possible because the projector is running 6 times faster. In front of the projectors single lens is a circular polarising device that can flip in sync with the LRLRLR. So each L and R frame is polarised in oposition to each other. The screen is silver and the passive glasses match the circular polarisation for a fantastic, solid 3D display phil |

Cpatani 3D: The system descibed by you has only about 16% light effciency (from 1000 ANSI you will get 160 ANSI). Do you realy have no problems with image brightnes ? Do you project on the whole screen or only on some small screen sub-area ? |

Looking at their website, the Christie CP-2000X is rated at up to 21,000ANSI! Even at 16% efficiency, that's still 3360ANSI. Probably enough for most people's needs. That's why it costs $$$$$. If you wanted to go 1 projector active/passive (esp. circular polarized) to a medium-large audience, that would be the way to do it. Scott |

As Michal pointed out on another thread, ANSI Lumen give the total light-flow, not the light-flow/m². 3360 lm are nice for a home cinema but don't seem to be very much for a large screen. You need at least 100 - 250 lm/m² |

The site says 14footLamberts, which = ~48 candela/m2 or "Nits". 16% of that is 7.68 Nits. How does that compare? Scott |

That is the system currently being shown to the public so go and have a look if you can...phil |

14 foot lamberts is very low for stereoscopic cinema, but it can work. Stereoscopic projection should be a bit overlighted to avoid problems with eye acocomodation (biggeg field of dephth neccesary) ... 18 foot laber sounds better ... With 20 000 ANSI, you will be able to get 14 foot/labert from a 7x4.5 m big screen with 2.0 gain (Z-screen based stereo system). So it can realy work with smaler screens ... |

If it were me, I'd probably go with 2 projectors of slightly lesser brightness (individually) and cost. Especially with permanent installations, I would think that calibration/registration would not be such a continual big deal. Scott |
