Say, whatever happened to the cyan-dye tracks that were supposed to be in widespread use by now? I have seen some prints that are labelled high-magenta, which was to be the interim process, but it seems the time frame for the transistion is off.Wasn't this supposed to be a going thing by 2000 already? The subject's been strangely silent (no pun intended). ------------------ Better Projection Pays!

Truth be told...January 2001 is when the initial TESTING is to begin on cyan track for release prints. Believe that if you want.I personally don't think that cyan tracks will be in use when DCinema takes over. There is no EPA regulation forcing the issue and the quality of cyan track is below that of the current tracks...where is the gain? The IR LED on the original silver tracks was the best idea...at least there we had improvement. Steve ------------------ "Old projectionists never die, they just changeover!"
