Coming to you in 3D the full story


In my previous blog post I mentioned that the Village Centre Cinemas here in Pullman, Wash. finally had purchased a 3D projector.

Andy Z. Jones, the head projectionist, filled me in on the details.

"It is a Dolby 3d server(basically a big computer that is connected to the projector. it stores the movies and then streams the movie to the projector) which is the top of the line in 3D. The projector itself is also top of the line and manufactured in Europe. The higher quality projector requires the more expensive glasses, which is why we ask viewers to return the glasses after every show. We then wash them in a special dishwasher to wash and sanitize them"

Now the Village Centre is a little more up to speed with the rest of the digital age and has the capability to play both 3d and non 3d movies.
