Sony brings out its very own "single-projector 3D adapter"

by Stephanie Patterson posted Oct 6th 2008 at 12:01PM


Okay, so you probably noticed things have been hopping lately with the advance of 3D technology, global takeover-style, by companies like RealD using ZScreen active polarization with Sony's digital theater projectors. No more bulky shutter glasses and no need for dual projectors -- huge, right? Well, Sony has decided to step it up a notch and bring out its own "single-projector 3D adapter" to blow the rest of those guys out of their tiny pond, namely in the realm of bandwidth and resolution. Sony's adapter works in tandem with its new LKRL-A002 and LKRL-A003 lens units, utilizing the full height of its 4K projectors to displays 2K images for the left and right field of view simultaneously. The adapter can be quickly extracted when going back and forth between 3D and 2D media, 60P capable for fast-action content and good for a silver screen of up to 55-feet. If you're thinking of trading in your first born for a stereoscopic wonderland, check out this tech in a couple weeks at ShowEast in Orlando on its way to March 2009 retail availability. No word on price, but naturally, we want one.

Sony stuns with SRX-T110 / SRX-T105 4k x 2k projectors

Picking up where the SRX-R220 left off, Sony's new SRX-T110 / SRX-T105 4k x 2k projectors are likely headed right to a museum, cinema (lucky!), or "digital planetarium" near you. Each SXRD device touts a staggering 4,096 x 2,160 native resolution and contrast ratios of 2,500:1. Separately, the T110 comes in much brighter than the T105, offering 11,000 lumens over the latter's 5,500. Those of you hoping to sneak one of these into your home cinema without placing too heavy a burden on the plastic Centurion will probably be disappointed; the T110 will ring up at ¥12.7 million ($120,460), while the T105 demands ¥8.3 million ($78,725). Both should arrive in Japan this November.

Poll: Have you seen a movie on a 4K projector?

by Darren Murph posted Jan 5th 2008 at 12:00PM

Considering the recent surge in 4K projector installations that we've seen across the globe, we began to wonder just how many of you readers have actually had the pleasure of sitting down -- bucket of popcorn in hand -- and catching a major motion picture on a 4K PJ. Granted, we don't expect the majority of you to nod your head in affirmation or anything, but for the few that have lived this dream, why not give those of us still longing a few lines detailing the experience?
