The people that will receive the 3d-server are traveling so scheduled to go out to Barco first thing this week. It worked fine in 2015 so hopefully it will play this time.
Also heard from Christie exec. who put me in touch with the right party to set up a meet time and demonstration. They are very confident about what they are about to unveil, they say have an advantage obver Barco's lower end BluLaser in which Barco put all resources. Christie is diversifying 3 ways in the smaller venue department with blu, red and blu and rgb. The guy seemed excited.
It is still hard to create a schedule for like Barco is deliberating the best time to do this. Their concern is they don't want our 3d- demo to take down the system for the show. Conservative I know but entirely plausible scenario, worse things have happened to Barco like NO BOTH BUILT to BOOTH BUILT TOO LATE.
But it is a small enough show where 2.5 days should be sufficient to cover:
Barco
NEC
Christie
Cinemeccanica New Compact Laser Head.
Third Party Laser add ons company.
SONY prototype 2 engine in out one lens monster. For this we need to play Sherlock Holmes.
Dolby Cinema demonstration.
Then for Audio:
Atmos
DTS-X Demo
Auromax (we get to try that renderer) is the plan.
QSC Qsys Networked Audio
Other Network Audio
Dolby B- Chain
Alcons
Trinnov - I really need 2 hours with Arnaud to put NAIAD layout to Bed( stay put or minus 3 channels) and show what TRITON is today and what It would be if we take it to TRITON 2025 (Uwe has not said no to the idea of a study to take from 32 to 48 aes fed Quested channels
).
The RealD Ultimate Screens Despeckling on and Off demonstrations.
V6 Fabric Tests with Barco and Christie (i bring 1 meter square samples). Will show/look for Negative Light Matrix contrast enhancement plus despeckling properties.
3_D systems
Projector Stands and Hushboxes
Othe Miscellaneous Cinema Items (lenses, portholes, etc etc...)
GREAT NEWS I have found a technician armed with a PR-670 (which is needed for all 1-2nm laser based projectors both in the Color Calibration phase and the Spectral Color Calibration BARCO and PCT Chrisitie. These are 2 steps of the 3 step CINERAMAX AMGtization QC process, the other final identified step is quite complex but the one person that can confirm at Barco is at CINEMACON so we will find how complicated/expensive this final extra tweak could be or not.
