Sony Upgrades US cinemas
The system cranks out 8.8 million
pixels, a resolution four 
times higher than what you now get in most cinemas,
and a brightness rating of 18,000 Lumens. Most home cinema projectors offer up
between 1200 and 2000 Lumens.
The 4K projector – which had some
brightness issues – has just been given the thumbs-up by Hollywood advisory
panel and four movies studios have committed to releasing movies in a digital
format suitable for the 4K. Sony plans to roll out 100 per month at a cost of
around £60,000 per screen.
The big advantage of digital projectors – which many cinemas already use – include very sharp pictures and no chance of scratches since the films are in digital format. Each projector is hooked up to a computer server and player. More on the 4K here.
