Author Topic: 3D 1.2" DLP Capabilities Kevin Fairchild Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Kennewick, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 03-14-2009 10:25 PM                     I know that the new 1.2" models from Christie are capable of showing full 2K 3D images, but does anyone know the maximum resolution of running 3D on older units? Is there a set limit, or do you have to specifically test each chip individually? I'm looking for both Flat & Scope.

Due to the transport system, color resolution was also further halved (4:2:2 instead of 4:4:4) and number of colors reduced by to 1/4 (10 bits instead of 12 bits). This continues to be the case in most 3D (i.e. not Sony or not dual-projection) systems.  |  IP: Logged
