"IMAX"It stands for “Image Maximum"."IMAX" is perhaps, the most popular movie format all over the world.The movie watching experience is enhanced in imax and that is the reason behind higher ticket prices in IMAX.
IMAX gained popularity much later in the 2000s.IMAX screens are six times larger than regular theater screens.
IMAX uses 40% larger screens and a 26% taller aspect ratio.In future dolby vision can compete IMAX.Laser projectors can do 4K digital projection to the huge screen in rec 2020 colour space.
IMAX has the 1.90:1 aspect ratio.Currently in 2022 we have more than 1,500 IMAX theatres in more than 80 countries.
Imax has 12 channel surround sound speakers with 4 overhead speakers.
IMAX’s sound system is also good..
Shooting with IMAX are very expensive. Marvels "Avengers Infinity War" was the first movie shot entirely using IMAX cameras because it fits the storytelling they want to achieve in the film and production have enough money to spend.
Imax Digital 3D offers better quality with the image seemingly popping out of the picture.Just watch any disney movie like jungle book in IMAX to understand the full potential of IMAX experience.
IMAX Projectors
IMAX uses a proprietary laser projection technology that delivers a rec2020 colour space which is a wider color gamut than what we usually see in standard or digital formats.Laser IMAX projector uses Rec.2020 colour space which has more colors than general theatre colour space.IMAX projectors are closer to the screen to make visual crisp, clear, and smoother.
IMAX completes the immersive cinematic experience by using a sophisticated speaker setup that isn’t possible in many theaters.Every IMAX theater has a different sound setup, custom-built to adapt to the varying factors that can affect sound quality.
The visual quality of IMAX 3D is much higher, bringing in an engaging experience.With its crystal clear images up to eight stories high, and wrap-around digital surround sound IMAX gives you an outstanding experience.
IMAX theaters - We need to send DPX files to IMAX so that IMAX could go through their process to make the IMAX Digital DCP.Keep in mind general digital cinema colour space is dci-p3 but IMAX digital cinema colour space is rec.2020.
A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is a collection of digital files used to project digital cinema.
1. Export your film as a 16-bit TIFF,dpx or j2k sequence.
2. Use free, open source DCP software to convert the TIFF sequence into JPEG 2000.(Now di technicians export j2k files directly from color grading software).
3. The DCP software then wraps the video (JPEG2000) and audio (WAV) in to MXF files.
IMAX laser projector can project 4k in 1.9 aspect ratio so the required resolution is 4096x2156(4096/1.9=2155.78).Kindly search dcstechie yash to see this blog on google search.
