D3D Cinema, which provides digital 3D cinema solutions and services to the museum and attraction industry, and Moody Gardens have announced the grand opening of the venue s MG3D Laser Theatre. Moody Gardens, a theme park and educational tourist destination in the US, is the first institution in the world to feature a giant screen 6-Primary (6P) laser projection system. The 6P laser- illuminated 4K-resolution 3D dual projector system is manufactured by Christie, a provider of advanced cinema technologies and visual displays. The 6P eyewear is designed and manufactured by Infitec GmbH and the 1.4 gain premium white screen was provided by MDI.
The new installation means audiences can now experience films on a 60 by 80-foot white screen, nearly three and a half times brighter than the current industry standard, with high quality colour and new 3D glasses technology.
There is a bit of nervous excitement with being the first institutional theatre in the world to implement laser technology, said John Zendt, president and CEO of Moody Gardens. But, when I walked into the theatre and saw my screen light up like never before, I was thrilled! And that first impression was only at 75 percent of our brightness capability. I can now happily invite my giant screen colleagues to come and see first-hand what D3D, Christie and Infitec are capable of delivering on an 80 foot screen. To be first to market is very exciting. But the results themselves are amazing and it is an experience our guests will certainly appreciate.
Christie s laser system provides high image quality using a pair of state-of-the-art 4K laser projection heads, a 6P modular laser light farm with fibre-optic delivery, and Christie 4K 3D high-bitrate IMBs.
Don Shaw, senior director of product management, Christie commented, We can confidently say that Christie s 6P laser design is a real breakthrough for the industry. Our non-flashing 6P architecture is without question the most light- efficient 3D technology on the market, providing four times the 3D brightness versus the competition, and enhanced colour gamut and a remarkable contrast ratio as well. On a speckle-free premium white screen, Moody Gardens has achieved a peerless cinematic presentation.
Infitec s new 6P glasses deliver a startling 90 percent efficiency which complements the 80 foot wide screen in the MG3D Theatre; now capable of light levels over 16 foot-lamberts in 3D (measured through Infitec s glasses). This is many times brighter than the theatre s previous 3D 70mm system and far exceeds any ultra- bright industry standards.
Markus Fritz, COO of Infitec GmbH. We had to move a few mountains to make this happen but the results are incredibly gratifying. Infitec is now uniquely positioned to provide 6P eyewear technology as giant screen venues turn to laser 3D in the coming years. Moody Gardens is now a flagship theatre for us, and we will continue to improve on efficiency capabilities and giant screen eyewear designs in 2015.
