come on guys?
is nobody actually interested in cinema here? :(
does everybody only care about indian dvd's here?
maxivision needs all the support they can get right now, founder of maxivision company is the OSCAR NOMINATED EDITOR for 'The Fugitive'
it is a great invention
it will improve the movie going experience

The picture on the screen would not be as good as the HDTV television sets now on sale in consumer electronics outlets! TI's MDD chip has specs of 1280 by 1024, while HDTV clocks at 1920 by 1080. for the first time in history, consumers could see a better picture at home than in a movie theater. A higher-quality digital picture at home than in a movie theater. A higher-quality digital picture would involve even more cost, compression and transmission challenges.


Is he actually promoting it or telling us to stay away from movie theaters.

This is more of an improvement to the existing system than a new system still it is quite clever. It is simple and there's no change to film makers but shooting at 48 fps will cost more since film usage will increase to 50%. Nevertheless I want to see on the big screen to judge for myself...Thanks

this is referring to the digital cinema, the no film based cinema, that is suppose to replace today's cinema
maxivision actually uses the film
he is asking you to stay away from totally digital cinema

I've heard about it from Ebert and Roeper at the Movies. It looks pretty interesting, but of course, anything with "digital" attached to it must be good, right? I'm sure Maxivision would provide an improvement over regular 35mm, but a good 35mm presentation kicks the crap out of what they show at multiplexes. I can't stand to go to the multiplex anymore (except for films I want to see immediately) because the projection is always dim and out of focus. When I see films at the arthouse theaters, however, they actually look good. "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "Bowling for Columbine" looked better than "Spiderman" and the DLP-projected "Attack of the Clones." What does it say about these theaters when low budget independent films are presented better than big budget studio films? Someday digital projection will meet or surpass a good 35mm presentation. But we are not at that stage yet. And DLP isn't a big attraction for regular people, so theaters will be reluctant to spend money on installing it.

maxivision is 35mm, it is not DLP

DLP projectors would cost $100k to $150k to install, but maxivision can be done for $11k, because the projector remains the same, only head is changed

but some studio has to get behind Maxivision to provide financial support, and movies have to be directed in Maxivision tech.
but maxivision is backward compatible with current speed, it can play at both speeds 24 fps or 48 fps, depending on the original recording

plus parts of movie can be shot at 48 fps and the rest in 24 fps, 48 fps speed used for fast pan actions

to me Maxivision sounds like much better idea, but it is using film, nothing new, only the speed is doubled if chosen, and also film waste, generated by matting during filming, is eliminated
digital, i suppose, is the future of cinema, but best digital has very bad quality at the time, when compared to a good 35mm, and maxivision has improved even on a good 35mm

I haven't read much on the format, but if it requires the studios to spend more, they won't accept it.

DVD Pankhaa, if you were referring to my post complaining about DLP, I know Maxivision is film based. Have you seen that test that Roger Ebert showed on his show a year or two ago? The Maxivision people filmed a test where a van with writing and artwork on the side moved past the camera fast. They filmed it both in "regular" 35mm and in Maxivision, and the writing and artwork was much clearer in Maxivision.

Frame enlargement from demo shot at standard 24 fps (each image of which is exposed at a 50 th of
a second (using the standard 180 0 shutter setting).

Frame enlargement from demo shot at 48 fps. The greater single-frame clarity, obvious from this
compari-son, is only one factor in the overall enhancement that is so much more vivid in motion. It must be seen in
motion to be fully appreciated. With standard 24-fps cinema, each image is photographed in 1/50 th
of a second. Anyone familiar with still photography knows that such a shutter speed will capture
a blurred picture if there is any appreciable movement of either the camera or the subject. One
of the reasons for MAXIVISION48’s increased impact and clarity is that with 48-fps cinema each
image is captured in 1/100 th of a second. The images above show the difference.

no i did not see that program, sorry i missed it
but i have sees these pictures
quite a difference
i just think this is a good idea, it is feasable too
much cheaper than digital cinema
but i also realize digital is the future of cinema, b/c digital keeps on improving day by day
i guess i am FILM fan and not a VIDEO fan
i hope this gets appreciated
and not go the beta way
