Indeed, I had no idea how its done ... but then as an economist, there are many details on how its done that I wouldn't need to know. The prior question is what is being done.
Whether the technique involves light projected on the screen through something or bounced off mirrors or whatever .... the main material difference from the status quo ante thing is that instead of physically passing the image through the projector, the image is generated inside the projector based on the contents of a computer file. There are enough details to work that out from the diary, but if someone is disoriented as to what the topic is, they could easily not see the implications of those details or even not get that far. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
Resolution has an impact on audience perception. Hence the move to 70mm film, and its use in high resolution Imax projection systems. The first 70mm films were shot as early as 1894, but not popularized until a process called Todd-AO from 1955.
The lower resolution of Digital Cinema projection is balanced by other advantages that siegestate is describing. You can't be me, I'm taken
Digital source files from the camera and/or the animators can be either 2K or 4K, or occasionally HDTV 1K-ish and let's-hope-no-one-notices.
2K has the same optical resolution as 35mm, more or less.
I don't know what the resolution of Imax is.
... and while searching for that, I saw somewhere online that IMAX Digital is 4K. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
Uncompressed, the data rate is nearly 500MB/s.
2K is more manageable. You can do 2K editing on a fast home PC now.
