From the January MCA Newsletter comes news regarding their January meeting
Digital Cinema Projection (or Digital Cinema, for short) is replacing traditional 35mm film projection in movie theatres all over the world. In this method, the content is projected from an electronic copy contained on a storage device, such as a high-capacity hard drive and server. Instead of projecting light through film, digital cinema utilizes technologies such as DLP (Digital Light Processing) to accomplish the task. These technological advances are changing the way features are distributed, exhibited and stored. The reasons for these changes are both economic and creative.
We will examine the world of Digital Cinema at our January meeting, courtesy of Wehrenberg Theatres, the oldest family-operated chain in the United States. We will be joined by Barry Gavril, Director of Information Systems at Wehrenberg as we take a tour through the projection area.
Steven J. DeBellis will also be on hand, he’s author of “100 Years of Reel Entertainment: How Wehrenberg Theatres Became the Longest-Running Picture Show in America,” a book published in 2006.
Come find out what Digital Cinema means to piracy, profits and “print” quality at our January meeting.
