Author Topic: Barco projectors shaking Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 05-21-2015 02:24 PM                     you won't see much difference at viewing distance on a movie. Put a focus test pattern on and you'll see what we mean.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-21-2015 03:12 PM                     We never had complaints about it until the cinema did a rental with powerpoint stuff. Those static images were quite shaky - obviously cinema content was as well, but that isn't very noticeable.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 05-22-2015 06:03 PM                     Cinematic content is indeed inherently different from mostly static presentation content. You almost instantly notice the difference between a frozen frame and a still shot without any movements whatsoever. Even in those kind of shots there still is some "movement", even if it is just digital noise, film grain jumping around or tiny bits of camera shaking ever so slightly.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-22-2015 06:27 PM                     so it is a Belgian Shakemecanica  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I was quite surprised that they would still ship without the current solution that actually works.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.
