We have plenty of JSD 80's and 100's out there. They have been good solid reliable peices of equipment and a good value for our customers!  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-30-2018 07:17 PM                        It was definitely a DCP. There was a report to ISDCF on how it played in theaters (not that well - Not all theaters supported 96k).  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-30-2018 07:25 PM                     I think many servers and sound processors are configured to downsample 96kHz to 48kHz anyway. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-30-2018 07:30 PM                        True, but apparently some could not handle it. IMBs are required to be able to pass data through transparently (same sample rate as content) and up or down convert. USL digital processors (at least JSD-100, JSD-60, and maybe JSD-80) do all processing at 96k and have sample rate converters on the inputs to handle other sample rates (like 48k).

As for the greater HF, Ii is improbable that anyone could discern this. We have a hard enough time getting 15KHz into medium to large rooms now; hence the need to roll off the B chain. HF content does not excite the air molecules as well as LF content does. I am assuming that the cinema involved has the very best speaker and amps. Could matter in a small screening room, however.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-07-2018 10:32 AM                       Right Stuff was released in 1983 according to IMDB and also my aging memory. That predates DTS by a quite a long time, no? Maybe Louis is thinking of another flick.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 02-07-2018 07:11 PM                        Sam is correct. The Right Stuff premiered on 10/21/1983 and was shot in 35mm spherical Panavision. The 70mm prints were 1.85:1 and were Dolby 6-track mag. The first DTS film was Jurassic Park, released in June of 1993, almost ten years later. If there were DTS prints of "The Right Stuff", it was for a revival. Perhaps there was one when the Blu-ray was released in November of 2013.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

Sat thru the 180 or so minute production at least 3 times. Enjoyed it every time and was sure disappointed when it did not do well at the box office.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-08-2018 06:12 AM                     The 70mm prints were definitely 1.85. At the time, it was one of the longest (no intermission) 70mm prints and BARELY fit on an AW370.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

It's just a comment on my memory after all the work I did around that film. I don't usually remember wrong, just don't remember at all.  |  IP: Logged
