Digital Projection Need Recommendations On Digital Projector?
I am President of local photography club. We are switching to digital projection, and I need recommendations. Want to keep price under $900 if possible. Will only be used for still photos in average size room.

---Perhaps I should've been more specific. I'm looking for recommendations based on personal experience w/ whatever model projector you use, not just how to find info on projectors.
why don't you try to use internet search engines, they will be good for the help or use e-bay or shopping networks like amazon.

Yes the technology is here and it's coming rapidly. Sony has released a line of 4k projectors that are being installed in theaters around the country. Amc is currently converting many of it's theaters to digital. The main reason it wasn't done before was cost. It costs almost 100k to upgrade per screen and the theaters wernt going to do it without backin from the studios. Now that the studios are doing digital editing and with the rise of 3d movies it is a good time to convert. Sony pictures is even starting to use 4k cameras on their movies to go with the projectors.
The problem with IMAX movies is the fact that the digital technology isn't quite good enough for the massive screens so they are still using regular IMAX film. There has been a rise in digital IMAX screens but the screens are nowhere near the size of a conventional IMAX screen. Many amc IMAX screens are just old 35mm theaters with a new projector and sound system.
A normal projector uses a copy of the film on traditional film stock run through a projector. A digital projector uses a copy of the film stored on a hard drive.
Agree completely, Marc! But unfortunately, doesn't look like DOJ gets it:
“Attorney General Open to Re-examining Antitrust Policies for Newspapers”
Not in the direction you'd think, instead towards allowing even greater local concentration. My reaction shared with policy folks we've worked with on preserving safeguards against Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-ownership:
“Absolutely wrong direction of re-examination in my humble opinion! Sheer monopoly as a strategy to overcome dissatisfaction of local readers, extort advertisers, milk organic & inorganic assets dry without feeding is largely how they got here now, along with corresponding leverage & over-reliance on market cap!
And to the AP: “Justice Department lawyers have in the past looked askance at some newspaper mergers that created monopolies within a specific city or region.”
What past, when & where? They've allowed the formation of regional daily multi-county chains densely clustered by weeklies in Everytown, USA…85% of the weeklies in Maryland are owned by either Tribune or WaPo/Newsweek. Journal Registered own(ed) damn near every daily & weekly in southeast Pennsylvania, from Philly Burbs north, east & west, spanning several counties, and in northeast/north certral PA, Times-Shamrock virtually the same. I could go on, but wtf gives — what's left on the torched landscape? Guess this puts a bigger bullseye on the independent community weeklies. I was thinking that DOJ looking into complaint of indy weeklies in Nashville against Gannett was a refreshing sign that predatory & monopoly practices would see the light of day after 30+ years of darkness….”
For my expanded rant on Monopoly and several other unreported factors, see Media.Lemming here:
“Monopoly position obscured flaws revealed in economic dips, and classified (coerced) upsells to their emerging websites fueled ridiculous digital projections beyond rational & organic growth. In the last days of a good economy, major advertisers were hanging on in force of tradition & lack of imagination, and the last of the bulls were pushing market cap into wonderland. Where did the spoils of 30-40% +profit margins & overflowing investment capital go? Reinvestment in current holdings, innovation, community standing and human capital? Not so much….”
3D is generic, it's like the "tree trunk" of 3D where Real 3D is a brand and a "branch" of the same tree.
RealD
This is a bit newer standard, but a digital one from its start… digital here meaning that the movies are recorded in a digital format and the projectors being used are also digital. RealD 3D cinemas uses circular polarized plastic glasses instead of linear polarized to provide better user experience when watching stereoscopic content. Circular polarization is considered to be better, because viewers are able to move their head as they like without the loss of the 3D depth effect. With the linear polarized glasses you have to be a bit steady, not moving around too much and sometimes you might have trouble finding the right position for your head in order to achieve the best effect when watching the movie to fully enjoy it. The circular polarized plastic glasses used here are also cheap to produce, but this technology requires the use of more expensive silver screen for projection which makes it a bit more expensive to implement. Still at the moment RealD is the most widely used standard for stereoscopic 3D movie projections all over the world, so you will most likely have one of these cinemas where you live. The immersion experience with RealD is a bit different compared to what you get at IMAX 3D projections as here the depth perception is of actual depth so the action is more going inside the screen, and not popping out of it. This does not make things less impressive, although some people might get a little disappointed at first if they were expecting to have the IMAX 3D pop-out effects, but after some time of watching they still get the feeling they are right in the middle of the action. This way of going more in the projection screen and not out of it is also easier on your brain as it is not that overloaded with information and is considered better for longer movies. Also it is easier to keep track of quick action scenes and the ghosting is usually less, so most of the people prefer this technology, although it is still not perfect.
HD is nice. Flat Screens are nice, Digital Projection is nice…
not everything new sucks
About Me
Hi, JT here. I recently received a Projection Alarm Clock as a gift and thought that it was just the coolest thing ever. I've started giving them to friends and thought I'd do a little research and put a site together about Projection Clocks and Atomic Clocks. I hope you enjoy!

No it's not extra. Digital 3D is extra because they have to pass along the cost of the 3D glasses. But Up In The Air is not in 3D.

From the guy talking in the video: “it’s not really 3D and it’s not a hologram”. Why do they keep describing this as if it is?
