Author Topic: 48fps (i.e, 'The Hobbit') Keegan O'Brien Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Eugene, Oregon, United States Registered: Sep 2011 posted 11-05-2011 08:27 PM                     I wish Jackson and company would stop spreading the deceptive 5K resolution of the EPIC. But, The Hobbit is, along with The Dark Knight Rises, my most anticipated movie of 2012. Can't wait to see the story on screen, and witness how Jackson handled 48fps. I suppose this will be the first film A/Vphiles will flock to D-IMAX theaters as opposed to 15/65mm.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Marshall Can digital IMAX show 48 fps? Not at the moment, but, by the time The Hobbit hit's theaters, I'm sure it will. I mean, it'll have to. The Hobbit's getting an IMAX release, so they're going to have to meet Jackson's specifications.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-07-2011 06:21 AM                     As digital IMAX always uses a dual-projector setup, it is probably the easiest to implement for them. They just need a server or server-twin upgraded for sync. Sure they are already thinking of an upgrade to be the first chain offering it. Will probably also be easy on Sony projectors. They already now do 48fps 3D, but so far only over DVI, not yet LMT/SRLV input. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 11-08-2011 08:29 PM                     yeah, the Production #4 video blog is fascinating, I hope that when the film is actually released Warner's actually releases this in 4K (LCoS and DLP) to the theaters. The icing on the cake would be if Warner's could release this in 7.1 surround sound too.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-09-2011 06:19 PM                     Christie whitepaper on HFR: http://www.christiedigital.co.uk:80/SupportDocs/Anonymous/Christie-High-Frame-Rate-Technology-Overview.pdf - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
