�As the average American
movie screen grows smaller and smaller, as palaces are
phased out for multiplexes, why isn't IMAX the natural home
for the great Hollywood epics?"
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times |

Now the extraordinary visual clarity and sound quality of
IMAX presentations transform 35mm live action films through
digital re-mastering using IMAX's new patented proprietary
software IMAX DMR.
PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE CREATES AN EXTRAORDINARY NEW FILM
EXPERIENCE
IMAX digital re-mastering starts by converting a 35mm
frame into digital form at very high resolution, capturing
all the detail from the original. Our proprietary software
mathematically analyses and extracts the important image
elements in each frame from the original grainy structure to
create a pristine form of the original photography. This is
the most complex step in IMAX digital re-mastering.
HOW DO YOU MAKE 35MM MEET THE IMAX STANDARD?
The image on a 35mm film frame is comprised of a fine grain
structure like that of all photographic images. This grain
when projected on to the IMAX screen looks like a TV channel
with bad reception. IMAX DMR removes this grain while
preserving the quality of the underlying image making what
you see on the screen crystal clear.
DIGITALY RE-MASTERED, REFINED, AND RESIZED!
To create the brightness and clarity that audiences have
come to expect from The IMAX Experience�, IMAX uses a
proprietary computer program to make the images sharper than
they were originally, while colors are adjusted for the
unique technically superior characteristics of the IMAX
screen. The completed re-mastered film is then transferred
onto the world's largest film format, IMAX 15-perforations
70mm.
IMAX SOUND � CRYSTAL CLEAR AND FREE FROM DISTORTION
IMAX has always delivered incredible six channel
multi-speaker sound that helps puts audiences in the
picture. IMAX recreates this immersive experience for IMAX
DMR. IMAX DMR recreates each film's original soundtrack,
adding another sonic dimension to upgrade the original movie
soundtrack to IMAX standards. |
