The biggest step forward in 3-D tech would be how the glasses are so dark in the theaters. We need polarized glasses that aren't so dark if that is possible and 3-D will get better and better. The color is pulled away by those glasses that you might as well be wearing sunglasses in the theater. Soon this will be fixed; now home theater equipment couldn't get much brighter like you said.

Robert, you can't do anything at home with those polarized glasses right now. You can however save them and go to the theater and use them again, or save some money and get a ticket for an non 3d movie and walk into the 3d one. ]]>Feb 27th 2009 5:24PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/Feb 27th 2009 6:00PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/Feb 27th 2009 6:03PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/
When it comes to 3D TI DLP digital cinema, the devil is in the details. The E-FIB (E version-Formatter Interface Board) cannot handle the bandwidth for full chip 3D (triple flash). So the image must be scaled down on the chip and then enlarged optically to fill the screen. The F-FIB can handle full chip 3D (triple flash). However, even with the F-FIB, the largest scope image is only 2048x858(3D&2D), flat is 1998x1080(3D&2D). And, some 3D features are released in a smaller flat source format of 1920x1038 (Jonas Bros, Coraline). There is also a smaller 3D scope format as well, 1920x804. So, what do you consider 2K? 2048x1080? If so, then no DLP is showing 2D or 3D features in 2K.

Anyway...

Regarding the Sony. I have only worked on one install and at the time I was thinking that RealD was a logical choice. I guess I guessed correctly! Time will tell how Sony's system performs. They are keeping the details very close, so we may never know the actual exact resolutions used.]]>Feb 27th 2009 11:16PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/Feb 28th 2009 12:11AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/Feb 28th 2009 8:37AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/Apr 23rd 2009 3:42PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/Apr 23rd 2009 3:46PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/27/sony-and-reald-link-up-for-4k-3d-cinema-our-eyes-weep-for-joy/http://www.copy-dvd.org to solve it and even with the F-FIB, the largest scope image is only 2048x858(3D&2D), flat is 1998x1080(3D&2D). ]]>May 5th 2009 5:04AM
