4K Resolution
Historically, the movie theatre experience has always
exceeded that achieved by home entertainment systems.
The advent of HDTV (1920 horizontal pixels) and technical
improvements in home theatre equipment have stimulated
the movie industry to think further ahead into the future.
Meanwhile, the Hollywood movie studios have jointly
agreed on standardizing 4K (4096 horizontal pixels) and 2K
(2048 horizontal pixels) as the next-generation digital movie
distribution and projection standards. Creating movies in 4K
protects the future value of the content, and also provides a
significant benefit to the theatre audience.
In recent years, stadium-type seating is becoming
increasingly popular among modern cinema complexes.
By sitting closer to the screen, the audience can enjoy an
immersive visual experience. However, those sitting in the
front rows may witness pixel artifacts when the resolution
provided by the projection system is not sufficient to fill the
screen size. The SRX-R220 and SRX-R210 provide true 4K
output, which reproduces the full detail of 4K content thanks
to the 4K SXRD panels, 4K internal signal processing, and
4K-compatible optical system. Besides, since the
SRX-R220/SRX-R210 provide four times the resolution of 2K
projectors, the visual quality of 2K and HD content is also
improved over those provided by native 2K and HD-
resolution projectors.
In 1999, Sony introduced a totally new concept for
moviemakers to provide a new higher level of picture
quality, efficiency, and flexibility in production
processes – digital cinema production.
Sony’s new approach was to produce movies in a
high-definition (HD) progressive video format at
24 frames per second using digital video tape media.
This concept, together with the Sony products that
enabled it, was named CineAlta™ – and it has been
embraced by an ever-broadening spectrum of
producers, directors, and cinematographers all over
the world. A large number of movies have already
been produced digitally using CineAlta equipment,
and this will continue into the future.
The recent acceleration of HD has heightened the
need for the best technologies at every point in the
professional production workflow. As a result, Sony
launched “CineAlta 4K” in 2006 – an extension of
the CineAlta brand that currently comprises the
SRX Series SXRD 4K projectors. Sony is also working
to expand the “4K” concept to other Sony
professional equipment, with a longer-term plan to
establish a 4K production workflow.
With Sony CineAlta 4K technologies and equipment,
true 4K digital cinema is a reality.
