Big Screen Technologies

Modern big-screen entertainment is best represented by Imax cinema, a fully integrated system of film production which uses cameras, film stock, screen and projection equipment especially designed in order to recreate a live experience.
IMAX digital sound recording is also used and is projected through the screen in order to enhance the live feel of the shows. Big screen productions saturate the senses of the audience and place them firmly within the world that is being portrayed on the screen.


The IMAX Theatre

IMAX theatre technology is one of the most advanced theatre technology around. Six- to eight-storey screens with the most immense surround sound systems make IMAX an incredibly good movie experience.

The Screen

Spanning from one wall to the other, and from the floor to the ceiling, it's hard to tell where the screen ends once the film starts - that's how huge it is. Hidden behind the screen are at least six or more massive 24-inch speaker cabs that are the key element in IMAX's surround sound system; whatever's

supposed to be making a sound in the movie (a person talking, a machine), with IMAX, it really does sound like the noise is originating from that source.

The Film

*Camcorder film is 8mm measured diagonally
*Typical photographic film is 35mm measured diagonally
*Typical movie film is 70mm measured diagonally
*IMAX film is ten times the area of 35mm, and about three times the area of 70mm. Its dimensions are around 70mm by 70mm
* it's being projected onto a screen that's probably 20m tall - which puts it at about 35m from corner to corner.

The Projector

It is called 'rolling loop film movement'. which means the IMAX film is fed horizontally. It's fed through a number of rollers and capstans, then vacu-sucked up against the lens, and positioned absolutely perfectly so that you'll get the best and most static in image focus and position. The projectors themselves are massive - and all closed-in.
The bulb's a lot brighter (up to one third brighter)

IMAX Technology

Some films are made using IMAX DMR technology. This is a process by which a conventional 35mm cinema film is digitally re-mastered into IMAX's larger-than-life format.
Each individual 35mm frame is converted to high res digital format; the IMAX DMR software then removes the 35mm grain structure and creates an enhanced IMAX version with incredible visual clarity. Once the process is complete, the film format is 10 times larger than its original size!

public space
solutions for the media

The Big Screen Project is a unique initiative in public space broadcasting. It is a network of outdoor cinema- size video screens, located in major city centres around the UK, showing local and national news, events and information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The project is a collaborative partnership between the BBC, various local authorities and a number ofsponsorsincluding The Royal Bank of Scotland. The screen technology is provided by Philips with content being transmitted from nearby BBC centres to the screens using BT redcare transmission systems.

The Big Screens are 8 metres wide by 5 metres high – and feature a 320 x 208 pixel digital LED screen. LED screen technology was chosen because of its suitability for outdoor application. For data transmission, each screen control room has a built-in, permanent and dedicated two-wayBT redcare rs1000 fibre optic cable connection path to the nearest local BBC centre from the screen. The Manchester screen – the pilot scheme – is driven from the local BBC control room, with all the screen content being sent from there to the screen, in real time, via the BT redcare link.

Since their establishment, the Big Screens have proven themselves to be a highly popular and unique resource. They have been used to broadcast national sporting events including The Grand National and Wimbledon. The screens were used during the Live8 event both to
broadcast the concert live to audiences gathered at each of the Big Screen sites and, at the same time, to send back images of the audiences at the sites to the BBC centre, for broadcast as part of the wider Live8 coverage itself.

New media technology definitions

Portability:
It is the way in which technology is carried around or transferred.

Convergence:
Bringing together two or more technologies in the same device, e.g mobile phone with a camera.

Interactivity:
the audience participate in new ways with media e.g. use the red button on Sky.

Compatibility:

software can be used on one or more system, and easily carried around. e.g a Data pen can be used on all sorts of computers.

Storage:

devises that can store media data e.g ipods, computers etc.

Miniaturisation:

that the technology is getting smaller making it portabal.

Digital:

The way in which data of all types can be transmitted in the smallest possible form via 0 and 1s. e.g images, sound and texts

Connectivity:

Refers to a program or device's ability to link with other programs and devices. For example, a program that can import data from a wide variety of other programs and can export data in many different formats is said to have good connectivity

Synergy:

how a media institution uses products to sell one another (e.g. film and soundtrack and video game).
