Author Topic: Solaria One on 3D Capability. Chandradasa Weerasinghe Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Canada Registered: Jul 2010 posted 09-11-2014 12:24 PM                     Hi Everyone, I have a small 35ft Screen and I am now force to change to digital. I was looking for a Solaria one that recommend for 35ft. My throw distance about 70ft. What I want to know is if I go with solaria one, Can I able to project 3D ? if not what you will recommend for my need? And also We do not have a dealers in Sri Lanka, So if any dealers here can give me a quote for a complete digital conversion. The transaction can do in house in USA or Canada. Sound system is fine because I have a CP750 installed. Thank you all in advance. Cheers.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-11-2014 04:41 PM                     All "bolt on" 3D solutions (RealD, XPand, MasterImage, etc.) will work just fine with the Solaria One. I'm not entirely sure if Dolby 3D is supported though. I'm just wondering, but if you're looking for someone who can do the installation for you, wouldn't it be cheaper to look for some integrator in India instead of the U.S.?  |  IP: Logged Chandradasa Weerasinghe Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Canada Registered: Jul 2010 posted 09-11-2014 05:41 PM                     Hi Thanks for the reply. What I need to know is The Solaria one out put is enough for 3D for 35ft screen. Christie never mention about 3D capable screen size. since I live in USA, its easier to buy from here or Canada. I can have a technician from India to install it. So I don't have to transfer money here and there.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-11-2014 06:39 PM                     Well, that's because it depends on a lot of factors. Like the 3D system you plan to use, the lens you need and the screen you're using. Do you plan to replace the current screen with a silver screen, which would be required for polarizer-based 3D technologies? If you go for an efficient system like RealD XL and a 2.1 kW bulb, it will probably look OK, but not amazingly bright. If you go for XPand Active, it will most probably end up being pretty dim and not enjoyable. The Solaria One+ will give you better light output at a slightly higher price. Given the fact that you're operating on the limits of what the projector was designed for, it's probably the better choice.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 09-12-2014 04:39 PM                     3D on a 35ft screen is bit on the edge for a solaria one. You would probably need one of those bad gain 2.4 screens even with a RealD XL or one of the similiar Volfoni or Depth-Q systems. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
