Author Topic: Imax Projector for sale. Joseph Palladino Film Handler Posts: 16 From: new Egypt, N.J. USA Registered: Feb 2007 posted 09-01-2011 04:39 PM                     The Polynesian Cultural Center is switching to Digital and selling there Imax Projection system. http://www.giantscreencinema.com/Default.aspx?ItemID=6&TabID=171&uc=info&mode=dir I run a Dome Imax how long before we go digital? I also thought that all Imax systems were leased not owned by the theater or science center.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-01-2011 10:03 PM                        They better sell their prints along with it otherwise the thing is not going to be able to do very much for whoever is thinking of purchasing it.  |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 09-02-2011 12:06 AM                     I thought those were all leased from Imax. They can be sold?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-02-2011 10:40 AM                     There were a few systems that were sold outright by Imax... Dick Vaughn would know. But since film is obsolete and 4K DLP is now the king why would anyone bother with it. Would make a great display piece though...

I installed it, nice gig. It's about 40' up in the air though: there is a door to get it through but that's a long first step down.  |  IP: Logged
