Author Topic: 2-projector digital 3D and Dolby Servers Justin West Master Film Handler Posts: 271 From: Peoria, IL, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 04-30-2010 01:54 PM                     Looking into setting up a 2-projector 3D booth, with 2 DC projectors using a single dolby server, programming left image out of one and right image out of the other. Are Dolby servers conducive to this. Will this setup work? I may avoid having to use REAL-D proprietary equipment in this arrangement. I hear that there are very few 2-DC Projection setups like this in the country (and I can understand, given the costs of a DC projector).  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I know of two screens in germany with such a setup. It's officially supported by Dolby. They supply a set of special color-wheels (not split, but one right, one left eye wheel). Someone mentioned that there is reference to this setup scheme on Dolbys digital cinema partner pages. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
