Question: I was approached one day at work by a fellow who claimed to be a local film director using "Red" digital cameras, and he went to Seattle to witness Trumbull's 120fps,4k, 3D project film called: "UFOTOG". .. and this fellow was absolutely spellbound on the presentation results.
He heard that Christie, along with DLP, did create a digital unit to handle this huge amount of data along with a flash storage system to hold all of that information.
He came by to ask me on about my BARCO digital setup and if these units can handle 120fps. I simply told him with that much data to stream into these projectors, it would be way too much along with the package size would have to be very large.
Then, he hits me with something link-shooting with two cameras at 60fps with one camera being one frame off so the two contents can be paired together to be 120fps that this is what Trumbull did with his presentation.
But a question was that if is if after editing the content he has shot, could he split the image/data back into 60 fps video and used two drives to feed the projector through 2 different ports so the projector could handle all of this content.
His big thing is that he wants to find out if a current DLP series two unit can handle 120fps and what would it take to make one handle 120fps.
Interesting to say the least. - Monte

Trumbull knows it. Yet he doesn't give up. Because he is still more into rides and simulations, not into narrative cinema applications:
--- As quoted in a 2010 conference panel, Trumbull said:
'I love high frame rates, because I like to make simulation rides and reality-based experiences that are looking to be as realistic as they possibly can, but 24 frames is what I call the “texture” of feature films. And I don’t think anybody’s really ready to see what you would categorize as a feature film shot at 60. And that was one of the tests I did when I was at Showscan; we shot a fully dramatic short film with sets, props, actors, the whole thing at 60 and it was very disturbing. Because it was like live news, or sports, or something.' ---
