Advances In Signage And Digital Projection
Anyone that witnessed the superhi vision displays at the London Olympics will now know what visitors to international broadcast exhibitions have understood for a number of years - that ultra-highdefinition screens are capable of breath-taking results. However, Ultra UDTV, with 16 times the resolution of today’s high-definition television is some years away from commercialisation. Current innovation in display and projector technology is around 3D and 4K formats, both of which are hot topics within the industry, but both face significant hurdles – technical, financial and cultural – to replace 1080 display. 46 entertainment hasn’t been successful in movie theatres. In pro AV, 3D is finding a niche in engineering, training, visualisation, and similar applications. But it’s still a niche. We’re keeping an eye on 3D as a growth opportunity in the digital signage market, though, provided glasses-free technology continues to improve.” As Wilbert notes though, 3D technology is still maturing, with the issue of wearing glasses a live debate. Tim Brooksbank, Chairman, Calibre UK also draws attention to the problem of light loss: “Our feedback from the exhibitors we sell to worldwide is that there is growing appreciation for and therefore expectations for 3D movies. Maximising light output onto screens for 3D presentations is a challenge and Christie has been installing a dual-projector solution, Christie Duo, to provide an affordable solution, as an intriguing option to other largescreen, 3D projection alternatives currently available.” Cynics might still say that it is the premium placed on 3D cinema tickets that is exciting theatre owners and film distributors and merely clever marketing that is pushing stereoscopic ‘hype’. Whether 3D has a future in its present, slightly flawed state is to be seen, but certainly there has not been the same level excitement about the format in the period after Cameron’s Avatar hit the screen.

Kieron Seth looks at recent innovations in the rise of 3D and 4K display and projector technology…
Higher Frame Rates) and the market demand stabilised. This also has to do with the fact that the demand for 4K equipment is driven a lot by the availability of 4K content: we saw that the 4K releases did not significantly increase.” This view is supported by Infocomm’s analysis. Its spokesperson says: “Current demand for 4K is minimal, but the overall interest in 4K is big. We’re seeing situations where 4K is the right solution to a customer challenge, like high-resolution imagery in control rooms. There are video applications that require better resolution. But because 4K is still in an evolutionary stage - between standards questions, infrastructure support, and content availability general demand isn’t there yet.” It seems peculiar, from the perspective of an industry that is now bombarded by 4K press releases and new 4K camera launches from the likes of Sony and Red. Fortunately for research and development teams that are currently pouring funds into this field, Infocomm offers a ray of hope: “We expect 4K to become more mainstream in the coming years.” This more optimistic angle is supported by Christie who, according to Calibre’s Brooksbank “foresaw the need for a 4K projector to deliver the

3D Demand
According to Tom Bert, Product Marketing Manager for Digital Cinema, at Barco “The number of 3D screens in cinema currently lies between 25-35%. The exact numbers depend on the region. It is expected that the final number will stabilise around 40% worldwide. It is important to understand that in cinema, inherently all projectors are 3D-ready; enabling the 3D happens by adding –external or built-in- components.” In the controlled confines of the cinema, clearly 3D projection has been something of a success. To a lesser extent the same is true of stereoscopic systems at home, although the amount of broadcast content is so low that it is impossible

”

to truly gauge how well it has been received by viewers - likewise, in the corporate, AV and rental sector. Bert remarks that it is “too early to quantify the market, but we do see a significant increase in demand”. Duffy Wilbert, Senior VP Marketing at InfoComm International, agrees: “A few years ago, 3D was front-andcentre at trade shows and in the press. This year, at least, it seems to have taken a back seat. 3D came out of the gate as the next great home TV technology, but as such it hasn’t really caught on. That’s not to say some 3D

4K Roadmap
If a sense of reality has fallen on 3D (which corresponds with a fall in new 3D technology at international broadcast trade shows), then is 4K heading down the same path? Barco’s Tom Bert warns that this may be the case: “4K went through a hype cycle in 2010. That was the year when all suppliers started offering the technology and when all customers started investigating it. We noticed that the industry quickly understood the added value and the limits of four times the resolution (compared to 2K). In 2011 the focus went away from 4K (and towards other enablers such as
