Just stating the facts, and noting that single strip 3D is fine if you can get enough light for the image size you intend to use. Sorry!! I had hoped that this effort on our part would be more welcomed by film fans. It is a lot of extra work and money that we invest to make this happen - fully aware that we may even lose money in the end. Anyway, today we installed our silver screen and in the next 2-3 days we will run some test and measure the light levels.  |  IP: Logged Tony Ratcliff Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Madison, IN, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 10-07-2003 12:28 PM                     Stephen, We've got a 33 ft screen. The 3D image was only about 20ft wide at the most ( I did not measure it. )  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 10-07-2003 12:42 PM                     That sounds about right, in my experience, which includes seeing the same print on different size screens, given a good lamp, and print, 20-25 feet is about the limit for single strip 35mm to look good. I would rather see a film looking good on a moderate size screen than looking dim on a large one. On larger screens I think you really do need to go to either two strip, or a larger format for good 3-D  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

The lamphouse supports up to 4K lamps.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-07-2003 07:03 PM                    Michael, Do you use top masking or side masking? Top masking would be good because you can get the over under image to fit into the image space without a lot of wasted screen that you would get with side masking when you use the mirror boxes. I don't think you have tha problem if you use the actual over under lenses that are available. Seems I remember reading that here in another discusion on the subject.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-07-2003 08:17 PM                     With 4K lamps your consoles should more than adequatly handle the image size spec If memory servers those consoles could actually take a 7K lamp if you wanted as the switcher is 3-7K rated and so is the ignitor  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

What I meant to say is not that the console goes up to 4K, but rather that it is possible to use a 4K if necessary. We will test that on Thursday.  |  IP: Logged
