Take a look of Nexo ID series. Very interesting from Pro Audio to Cinema, Home theater consumer audio.

Can someone confirm what type of IMAX is at the regal transit IMAX in williamsville NY ?

Thanks!

Just not the same as 70mm, Show the true prints …Not digital

Ask them what is the crossover (hz) for IMAX 12.0 bass management

Amazing video Kim, so informative.

Just shared this video to an awesome whatsapp community I belong to called "IMAX Vanguard" aka IMAX nerds.

IMAX 1570 film format: IMAX 65 millimeters horizontal negative (1570 horizontal print) 70.41 × 52.63 millimeters frame 11,734 × 8,771 = 102,918,914 digital equivalent pixels resolution

IMAX 1570 is still the gold standard.

another great video! keep it up! Kind regards Keith

Great video, thanks. Can't hear that tech stuff about IMAX often enough 😅

its a shame BFI didnt get the dual laser when upgraded after taking the waterloo site control back from odeon, i suspect cost was an issue. as BFI IMAX has better seating options than EMPIRE Leicester sq dual-laser-IMAX(which only has 3 usable rows)

Addendum for people who’re interested 1) IMAX had 3 projectors which could do 15/70 - GT, SR (Single Rotor) and MPX (Multiplex). SR was cheaper in two discrete units for 3D, and one was fine for 2D. The TCL Chinese Theatre used a single SR unit for the 70mm presentations for Oppenheimer and Dune. Not GT. MPX was a cheaper version made in 2000s for South Asian countries and multiplex retrofits 2) The real reason why IMAX Digital is 1.90 is because Texas Instruments doesn’t make a DLP projector chip of a higher resolution or a different ratio, and 1.90 is the max as per the DCI standard. 3) IMAX Laser also has 3 variants - Dual Laser, Commercial Laser and XT - Dual Laser is able to do 1.43 due to a special anamorphic lens which desqueezes a 1.43 image from a 1.90 DLP readout - CoLa is the one BFI uses, custom designed by IMAX without a prism and two lens outputs for 3D, both L and R images are projected simultaneously in a vertically stacked manner - XT is basically again a cheaper but newer laser projector which has a single lens output and alternates each frame for 3D XT can have 12ch or 6ch sound depending on what contract the theatre takes up.

Thanks for the informative video! Loving the visuals provided in this one Bored_tech All the best with your future content, Rayhaan (IMAX Vanguard)

Try contacting the Planetarium in Copenhagen, they have an IMAX Dome screen, and they have been showing OmnIMAX/IMAX Doma since 1989 so maybe they also have the old 35mm sound playback machine.

Hello Mr. Bored Tech, thank you for making and sharing this video. That's a great video! First of all, I would like add some information about IMAX sound formats and IMAX with Laser technology. According to Giant Screen Cinema Association about IMAX audio mixes, there are three types of IMAX sound formats: 1. IMAX 5.0 (IMAX Digital Xenon, 1.90:1 Aspect Ratio), please note that some IMAX Single Laser Theaters are limited to IMAX 5.0. 2. IMAX 6.0 (IMAX 15/70 mm Film, 1.43:1 Aspect Ratio), please note that IMAX 15/70 mm Film Theaters can play IMAX 5.0 mix version (separate audio track, 15/70mm audio version) too, depending on the sound mix of movie. 3. IMAX 12.0 (IMAX Laser), please note that some IMAX Digital Xenon Theaters are installed with 12-channel sound system plus sub-bass system and capable of playing IMAX 12.0 content. And of course, those three types of IMAX sound formats do not have dedicated LFE channel in the mix formats. There are also three generation of IMAX with Laser Projectors: 1. First Generation, IMAX GT Laser Projection System (4K Dual Laser Projectors, 1.43:1 Aspect Ratio, each projectors has single-lens); 2. Second Generation, IMAX Commercial Laser (CoLa) Projection System (4K Single Laser Projector, 1.90:1 Aspect Ratio, CoLa Projector has dual-lens); 3. Third Generation, IMAX XT Laser Projection System (4K Single Laser Projector, 1.90:1 Aspect Ratio, XT Laser Projector has single-lens). Thank you very much!

Love the Cineworld IMAX leicester the sound is soo powerful you could fee the thumper in your chest in Dune 2

And there is 3rd generation IMAX with Laser project called IMAX XT, which uses 5.1 audio. The 1st IMAX XT was built in Shanghai, China, 2021.

My life was forever changed when I experienced Adrenaline Rush in the Omnimax in Vancouver as a child. It blew my mind!!

Thank you my friend.

Whats up with the mixture of subs? I see typical 4×12" Eminence subs, yet directly below them I see what appears to be 18"s ... Any thoughts? Also, showing the small ceiling flown clusters, it appeared as if they were Danley Synergy designs.

what about xt laser?

Btw I know Mr. Ford and been in the booth two times, before and after works

You missed the ones no one knows: imax SR, imax HD and imax XT Another weird thing is that you chose traumpalast photo to demo 1.43

Great T shirt!

It would be very awesome to see a imaxdome backstage tour

La Geode is an omnimax in Paris due to reopen soon after closing for refurbishment in 2018 - I think they’ve kept the dome, it would be amazing to see a tour!

Thank you for making the video!

I have yet to see a real 1.43:1 IMAX theater. Only have 1.9:1 IMAX Xenon screens near me.

Hi, love seeing your behind the scenes videos of the BFI and Science Museum. Something is confusing me though. I keep hearing that IMAX 1570 film is limited to only 6 channels of audio, but, if the audio is coming on a digital disc, then why is there a limit for the number of channels? It's not like the audio is printed on the 1570 film...

Now can we please get a 4K/HD glimpse of how the film actually plays out in the theatres in 70mm IMAX glory , and now that the film is out on Digital and Physical Media, I believe getting a glimpse of the actual screen will no longer be an unethical commission.

Big hole in the ground and blind in one eye

Go on drop it lol boom

The odeon marble arch used to be the largest screen in the uk way back then

I want L-Acoustics Goody-bag! United Kingdom

Such an excellent review, thank you so much!

Great review!

Thats largest film reel ive ever seen, its almost comically big

Excelente video amigo, Thanks

Fun Fact, my dad works for Dolby, and frequently visits cinemas for premieres etc. One time, I came with him to this theatre and he gave a tour of the backstage. Now, he had a ID badge, which allowed him to get around. But then, he decided it was a fun idea to go onto the roof (right behind the batman statue). So, we climbed the steps in the tower to reach the top, and we opened the door which wasn't locked from the inside, and went out. He let go of the door, and we went to go look at the backside of batman ;) as the door closed. When we were done, we headed back to the door and it was locked, so he tried to unlock it with his pass, and that didn't work either, so then he had to call his friend to open the door. Was terrifying.

Thank you!! Literally just needed the lens to be removed and you helped!!

Ingest 🤨

Good cd player 👌 too?

hahaha no!

What does that MASTER and SLAVE mean on that port

Hey, do you recall the technical specs for the small platter motor? Mine has broken and i want to repair it. Thanks

I worked in a cinema one summer, loved getting upstairs when the projectionist needed a hand. I was one of the only people who wanted to climb the ladder to help them out.
