Executive Summary

April 2009 by Michael Karagosian

  • Texas Instruments and the Gore board. The “Gore board” was supposed to bring enhanced security to TI’s Series 1 projectors. However, it not only falls short of improved security, concern is mounting that it creates dark screens.
  • 3-D scorecard. 3-D penetration has grown worldwide to 3000 screens, and they’re not all Real D. A review of the players in 3-D add-on technology.
  • Sony announces deployment signings. Sony Pictures announces deployment agreements with Digital Cinema Implementation Partners (DCIP) and GDC Technology. This could be one of the final puzzle pieces for DCIP.
  • The VPF gold rush. Studios report that a flurry of deal making with new deployment entities now in progress.
  • Accessibility session scheduled for ISDCF. Lawsuits against exhibitors based on the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, are now active in three US states. ISDCF is setting aside 2 hours next meeting to discuss the implementation issues. NATO wants to establish a timeline for bringing closed captions and labeled narrative audio to digital cinema.
  • NAB Digital Cinema Summit. This year’s event focused on the “how-to” side of 3-D movie making, including how to get it into the home. Missing were presentations on the improved anaglyph formats now peddled to the studios for home 3-D release. The only panel focused on digital cinema was moderated by yours truly, with Mike Fiddler (Sony), Chuck Goldwater (Cinedigm), Jim Reisteter (NEC and Digital Link 2), and Larry O’Reilly (IMAX).
