Author Topic: 'Beowulf' in IMAX 3-D (& Real D) Kamil Jackson-Chaka Film Handler Posts: 8 From: Gainesville, Fl, USA Registered: May 2007 posted 12-29-2007 02:14 AM                     Mark, Real D is actually just a polarizer set in front of the lens of your digital projector. The polarizer can be removed and placed on another digi projector easy enough, but I'm sure most theatre's would just have a polarizer on each one.  |  IP: Logged David Zylstra Master Film Handler Posts: 432 From: Novi, MI, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 12-29-2007 09:42 AM                     RealD is not moved that simply - there is also a controller box for the polarizer, and eventually there will be a "ghost busting" box when the single inventory release file is realized. And don't forget - if you do move the equipment you also need a silver screen on the next auditorium.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-29-2007 10:36 AM                        quote: Ray Faultless could I ask you how you wash those glasses. Do you use plain water or some kind of cleaning solution? I really would not like to be given glasses that had been used before. IMAX glasses are normally washed in a modified commercial dishwasher using fairly standard dishwashing and rinse agents.  |  IP: Logged
