Properly used, the Sony 4K machines look tremendous. I understand that they have a serious design failure WRT the 3D.Peter Apruzzese said:Wouldn't it have been great if the studios had settled on 4K originally, instead of making US pay for 2k machines and then a couple of years later going to 4K? Imagine if they didn't have it in their business plans to try and shut down most independent theatres (which IS part of their business plans) with costly unending upgrades (Series 1 and Series 2 mods anybody)? And then you have Sony selling their awful machines into every AMC, ensuring that all non-3D shows get a nice dim presentation since their engineering geniuses didn't figure out a way to make their 3D kit easily removable by the end user.
Projection equipment must be totally computerized and automated, with QC built into the system. One of the things Sony does right is that they have a network control center that monitors the projection at their customer sites.
