BKSTS SOCIETY NEWS

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello again It has been a very busy summer for your Society - hopefully just the start of a re-generation that will beneďŹ t all our members.

The HD Masters Conference was a huge success, with the highest level of attendance so far. Delegates and speakers came from around the world to discuss the implementation of HDTV, and to look at how HD is maturing into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;de facto normâ&#x20AC;?. It was also an opportunity to look at what is next in television imagery, with practical 3DTV starting to appear.

A full report on the event is in the new Image Technology - now launched as a website. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more information about this below, but it marks a major turning point for your Society, and it already is offering resources that simply were not possible with the printed version - as well as saving a signiďŹ cant amount of cost for printing and postage.

A special 2 day lecture, Colour Technology for Digital Cinema and the Digital Intermediate, presented by renowned expert Charles Poynton was held at the Moving Picture Company at the beginning of July, and while the number of attendees was not huge, the general consensus was that it was very useful to those that attended.

Again, a full report on the event is in Image Technology - along with a very interesting interview with Autodesk Chief Colour Scientist Doug Walker, which makes best use of the electronic medium Things are moving on events in general - there are more details below - but I would just draw your attention to our Awards Event. This will be held at BAFTA on the evening of the 14th November and promises to be a very prestigious event. However, we need your input on the question of the Award Nominations - if you have someone whom you feel needs recognition, please send details to us.

We will also be re-starting the very successful series of evening events that used to be known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;? - however, the new version will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Mondayâ&#x20AC;? - they should be starting from the ďŹ rst Monday in October, and being held at the BFI Southbank - weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very grateful to the BFI for their support.

We will also be holding the Bernard HappĂŠ Memorial Lecture in the late Autumn - more details to follow very soon.

So there is a lot happening in the BKSTS over the next few months. I will be helping out with the BKSTS stand at IBC (our usual place at the entrance to Hall 8 - Stand 8.B95), so I hope to see many of you there.

Best wishes Roland Brown President BKSTS

HANCOCK IN 4K AT ODEON GUILDFORD

Those who attended the Digital Cinema Awareness day at the Odeon Guilford (story page 44) were able to examine the 4K projection arrangements, installed in two of the screens, and marvel at the picture quality, so it was interesting to learn that audiences at Guildford were the first in Europe to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hancockâ&#x20AC;? screened in 4K resolution on Sonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4K SXRD Digital Projectors, with picture resolution over four times that of high definition television. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hancockâ&#x20AC;?, joined the growing list of feature-length motion pictures to be distributed in 4K, and all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hancockâ&#x20AC;?

4K screenings at the Guildford Odeon were shown using Sonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SRX-R220 model digital cinema projectors - delivering an incredible 8.8 million pixels to the screen.

The new eight-screen Kinepolis Oostende, Belgium multiplex is the first site to use QSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BASIS 922az and 914lz network control in combination with multiples of DCA amplifiers - supplied by local distributors AED bvba.

The complete network universe has been designed around eight each of the BASIS hubs, in conjunction with 31 x DCA1622, 11 x DCA1824, 3 x DCA3022, 6 x DCA1222 and 8 x DCA2422 two-channel amplifiers. With cinemas in mind, this series also features a PowerLightâ&#x201E;¢ power supply to produce seat-shaking bass, Active Inrush Limiting to ensure that circuit breakers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blown at switch-on, and both speaker and monitor panel outputs.

NEW 3D PROJECTOR

Norwegian manufacturer, projectiondesign has launched what it claims to be the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first single-chip high resolution active stereo 3D projector. The majority of active stereoscopic projectors available in the market tend to be large, cumbersome and expensive, but projectiondesignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s F10 AS3D single chip DLP® projector is genuinely portable and designed for the demanding scientific visualisation, simulation and entertainment environments.

The F10 AS3D features a resolution of 1,400 x 1,050 pixels, and it is fully compatible with 1080p inputs. It is also compatible with both IR transmitted and White Light (DLP Link) LCD 3D shutter glasses.

FIRST EXCLUSIVELY DIGITAL TERRITORY

IN JUNE 2008 the Falkland Islands became the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 100% â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;digital onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; territory. The islands only cinema, the Phoenix, is managed by SSVC Forces Cinemas, (Services Sound and Vision Corporation), in partnership with the British Armed Forces stationed in the Falklands.

The new Barco 1500 2K digital cinema projector and Dolby server, installed by Sound Associates, is fully DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) compliant and allows all Hollywood content to be played out in high quality imaging without any print or sound degradation over time. Not only is the digital projector easier to use and maintain which is particularly important due to the regular change of cinema staff, but the electronically watermarked presentations provide an additional guard against piracy.

The new equipment means the Cinema facility can be used to support briefings and is future proof, with the capability to transmit alternative content directly on to the big screen.

The equipment can also be upgraded to deliver 3D films. In order to ensure a smooth transition, the 35mm equipment will run alongside the newly installed digital equipment for a short period while the operators receive training. Warner Bros provided the first digital print, Speed Racer, which was shown at the Phoenix during July and August.

SSVC was originally under the banner of the Army Kinema Corporation and the RAF Cinema Corporation, both of which joined forces to become the Services Kinema Corporation, or SKC. All cinemas are run in partnership with revenues split between the film distributors, military units and SSVC. The service provided by SSVC includes all film selection and negotiation, full marketing and publicity support, scheduling to individual unit requirements, freight, engineering support and complete financial management and distribution of revenue.

The audience loved Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest blockbuster Prince Caspian, and a measure of the success of the premiere at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s O2 Arena was that none of them had to give a thought about the groundbreaking technology behind it all.

Digital Projection Triumph Jim Slater and Saul Mahoney take Cinema Technology readers exclusively behind the scenes to show just what was involved in providing superb pictures and sound to an audience of 10,000.

PEOPLE CT COMMITTEE The BKSTS Cinema Technology Committee often gets mentioned in Cinema Technology, which is hardly surprising since its members play a large part in determining what the magazine will contain. Not least because several of them write articles for us, some giving practical technical details of issues that are important to projectionists and cinema managements, and others writing about cinemas they have visited on their travels. It is some time, however, since we looked at the committee itself, and I thought it might be interesting for readers to know something about the team and what we get up to.

Thanks to Peter Knight for his help in assembling this feature.

Odeon Screen 1 in 2008, with its huge curved screen and curtains - still a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;properâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cinema!

cinema technology - september 2008

The projection beam for Odeon screen six is passed through a strange â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tunnelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrangement. The picture far left shows the view of the screen from the projection room porthole, looking through the tunnel. The middle picture shows the high-level tunnel when looking towards the back of the auditorium, and the lower picture shows screen six with its nice seats and its gold-coloured curtains.

SOUND AUDIO DESCRIPTION

Jim Slater went along to a recent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lunch and Learnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; session arranged for a wide range of Warner Bros staff at their London HQ to learn about subtitling and audio description of movies.

From time to time Warner Bros arranges lunchtime seminars for all levels of its HQ staff, with the aim of enabling them to ďŹ nd out more about what is happening in the wider reaches of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. A buffet lunch is provided beforehand, and staff are encouraged to come to the WB Preview Theatre for an hour or so to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lunch and learnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The session to which I had been invited had been arranged

by Richard Huhndorf, UK Technical Director of Warner Distributors Ltd, as well as Vice-Chairman of the BKSTS Cinema Technology Committee, and whether it was the high calibre of the ďŹ ve speakers he had persuaded to take part or merely the prospect of a free lunch, he had certainly succeeded in ďŹ lling the luxurious WB preview Theatre with an enthusiastic audience.

HISTORY SHOWMANSHIP

Mark Trompetelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article on the RFH showing of Ben Hur reminded me that I have for some time intended to treat readers to a 1961 letter from C.A. Maitland of MGM Pictures Ltd., which accompanied a set of strict instructions to projectionists showing that movie. They make fascinating reading for the sheer detail that they contain, and there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many present day multiplex projectionists who who would be able to get out their files (no, not paper ones, and not digital ones!) to comply with the rules for the aperture plates. The documents are also fascinating for the way in which they show just how those involved cared deeply that the movie should be shown at its absolute best wherever it was to be shown - the essence of showmanship in the cinema.

That really was

Odeon Guildford was the venue for the second of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Digital Awarenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training courses for projectionists arranged by the BKSTS Cinema Technology Committee.

One of the reasons for choosing the site was that as well as having a full complement of 35mm projection kit in its nine screens, there are also two Christie 2K digital projectors, a Sony 4K projector, and Real-D 3D facilities with a silver screen in Screen 2, where the course took place.

SPECIAL INTEREST HOME CINEMA

Elsewhere in this issue - page 32 - we talked with Darren Payne, who is Technical Manager of the Odeon/ABC dual site in Bournemouth, an experienced projectionist who has been working in the cinema industry for 21 years. Interestingly, my visit to the Bournemouth site came only after I had found out that Darren, a self-proclaimed avid reader of Cinema Technology magazine, was also a home-cinema buff.
