How are cinema-grade projectors / film techniques different from others?

938 views

I was curious about how these projectors are able to project images up to these huge displays with such a crisp and high-quality definition. What resolutions are these films being filmed / played at? These are the questions I have lol

Thanks!

I work (currently furloughed) at a movie theater as the regional tech. Biggest difference between theater image and home image is bit depth and compression of the file. Most DCP’s (movies) for 2k film are 120gigs.

Also, each projector is color calibrated often so color reproduction should be spot on.

Of course the projectors are bigger, make more noise, require lots of cooling. Oh, the sound in the theater is calibrated often as well, at least at my theaters.
