Two Cinemas first to offer Digital 3D in Germany
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 01/28/2010 - 16:12.
The Cineplex Marburg and the Cinedom Koeln multiplexes are the first German cinemas to offer their audiences large-scale digital 3D Cinema. In the run-up for the theatrical release of Avatar, both cinemas installed Kinoton 3D2P systems, each operating with two projectors.
The first Dual 3D installation took place in the Cineplex theatre, a modern seven- screen multiplex in the city of Marburg. A Dolby 3D server provides the projectors with content.
Cineplex CEO Gerhard Closmann had already installed a Kinoton-Dolby 3D cinema system in another auditorium in time for the Ice Age 3 release. When asked why he had decided in favor of the Dolby 3D system, he said, “Because for me a silver screen was completely out of question, especially with so large a screen. After all, we’ll keep on exhibiting 2D movies as well, both in digital and 35mm, and I set a high value on uniform image illumination.”
The Dolby 3D system works perfectly well with normal cinema screens, and the dual version with two extra-bright D-Cinema projectors guarantees brilliant high-contrast 3D pictures even in an XL format.
