Since I talk about it a lot, I figured I'd post some pics showing what it's all about. These are some pics from our conversion (or, should I say, addition) for Digital. The first pic is the traditional setup, the "before" shot, of the IMAX projector at the window. We had to remove the 1-ton machine from its rail track and put it on a cart and back it up to in between the two reel units. The tiny port window was removed in order to accomodate the two side-by-side Digitals (Imax uses one projector for each eye, unlike regular-sized 3D films which use one projector that alternates frames). An L-shaped track was then laid down so we could pull the film projector out of the way and push the Digitals into place. They also had to cut down our old screen and replace all the speaker clusters and the subbass towers. I'll hunt up more pics.
