If so, could you not just equip a pair for both types of LEDs?" Louis  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

But their idea is one that would work...however, there is the fact that the reader would need to be refocused.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-15-2005 09:28 PM                        quote: although not completely eliminating the additional red reader noise, reduces its effect to the point that air conditioner noise will significantly mask the problem.... Steve, I don't know what you are getting all worked up about -- there's a simple solution -- just put a switch in the booth for the the HVAC system, one setting for the older silver track titles (LOW) and then a setting for cyan tracks (HIGH). AC noise seems to be the answer. Hey, it works fine in the Dolby lab tests. Which leads me to believe that Dolby should publish the proper AC noise level for each type soundtrack. They might even want to issue a module, say the CAT-HISS which will add properly calibrated Air Conditioner noise into your system to cover the red reader crap.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-16-2005 09:35 AM                        Is the CAT-HISS related to the CA-SCRATCH, used to reduce excessively scratched prints?  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 11-27-2005 02:02 PM                     quote: myself Until last week I'd handled three cyan prints: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Madagascar. Yes. This week two turned up together: Herbie Fully Loaded. Kinky Boots. Since I wrote that two more have turned up: 'Oliver Twist' 'Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit' Two more in two weeks. It looks like about one new film in three is now comming in with a cyan track. I think we could be seeing just about everything in cyan within the next year. I still haven't seen any on adverts or trailers though.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 11-27-2005 04:44 PM                        I've had some Coke trailers with a cyan track. A few random non-attached trailers too (I remember 'Derailed' specifically).  |  IP: Logged Oliver Pasch Film Handler Posts: 53 From: Europe Registered: Jun 2002 posted 11-28-2005 12:18 PM                    quote: John Pytlak Again, the environmental benefits and quality improvement were the driving factors, not the cost reduction. Good joke! But even if this was the case, it's crazy that studios and distribution will save at least a little money and exhibitors have to pay a damn lot for upgrading their boothes to a red-light-district, especially when it comes to a ridiculous situtation as we have here in Germany at the moment, where Buena Vista International is still the only distributor supporting Cyan (but only with own productions, not with acquisitions, even more laughable).

The movie industry is a worldwide industry, with over 100,000 theatre screens. Some countries have implemented cyan dye tracks at a much faster pace, others have lagged. Unless a country's environmental laws restrict processing film with soundtrack application or make doing it cost-prohibitive, the conversion to cyan dye tracks by the lab is voluntary, unless the distributor mandates it for their releases. Two years ago, many here were saying it would never happen in the USA, but now the majority of distributors are specifying prints with cyan dye analog tracks.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-29-2005 08:58 AM                        With Universal now on board, it is a matter of time before all U.S. based film companies are all-cyan. By extension, their European distribution will follow. Louis  |  IP: Logged
