How does IMAX work?

How it works
IMAX’s digital theatre system uses a comprehensive suite of proprietary IMAX technologies, that, when integrated together, creates an experience that consistently puts the audience IN the movie.

These technologies include:

IMAX Image Enhancer
IMAX’s proprietary image enhancer brightens the on-screen image, and, through the use of a camera that provides real-time, on-screen feedback, it makes automated adjustments to ensure maximum image fidelity is maintained 100% of the time.

Customized Theatre Geometry
IMAX’s customized theatre geometry maximizes your field of view, putting you IN the movie – and is a key reason why IMAX® 3D is the most immersive cinematic 3D ever created.

IMAX Audio System
IMAX’s powerful audio system delivers laser-aligned digital sound.
IMAX’s Proportional Point Source loudspeaker technology enables listeners to pinpoint the specific location of a sound – with five discrete audio channels. (conventional 5.1 disperses sound through many speakers making it nearly impossible to locate the origin of the sound)
Each IMAX theatre is acoustically treated to present accurate and realistic sound images with the largest dynamic range. This enables the sound to be crisp enough to hear a pin drop and precise enough to know exactly where it dropped.
Each film’s soundtrack is specially mastered for IMAX’s unique sound system.

IMAX Screen
IMAX’s proprietary high-gain screen results in exceptionally bright images and unparalleled 3D
The IMAX screen is slightly curved and sits closer to the audience.
Dual Digital Projectors
IMAX’s revolutionary digital projection technology is “projector agnostic,” meaning that it can utilize commercially available digital technology that best meets IMAX requirements – the projectors are merely a vehicle for IMAX’s proprietary image enhancer, which turbo charges the basic functionality of the light engine.
One of the key benefits of being projector agnostic is that IMAX can adapt and even improve as suppliers develop new technologies.
The current system uses two 2k Christie projectors and has a 1.9:1 aspect ratio – in keeping with the best-tested chip sets – and we continue to work with dual 4k projectors.
IMAX DMR®
All film content that is played through IMAX’s digital projection system is digitally re-mastered with IMAX DMR technology.
IMAX DMR employs a suite of proprietary image enhancement tools that optimize each image for IMAX presentation. Some of the techniques used to enhance the digital image include sharpening, color correction, contrast and digital artifact removal.





more of IMAX...


We believe that IMAX Digital is the world’s most advanced digital theatre system and is superior to all conventional digital systems, just as IMAX’s film-based system is superior to conventional film-based systems.

*Digital IMAX 3D is brighter than conventional single projection digital 3D

*Twice as many addressable pixels (compared to other DLP Cinema-based systems), which dramatically sharpens images.

*IMAX’s proprietary image enhancer increases brightness, contrast and image fidelity. As the images originate in the form of data, it is essential that they are re-produced into vivid on-screen images that meet IMAX’s high standards.
~More than double the amount of light for 3D when compared to other 3D systems
~Up to double the amount of light for 2D presentations (22ftL) when compared to other systems
~IMAX maintains constant brightness through the entire life of the lamp

*The image enhancer uses more than 1 teraflop of graphics processing power, equivalent to more than 100 desktop computers. No other digital projection system in the world employs this much processing power.

*IMAX’s image enhancer is designed to be upgraded as new technologies evolve.

*The proprietary dual projection system projects left- and right-eye images simultaneously – conventional single projector systems alternate between eyes, causing depth distortion during fast-moving scenes.

*We extend the bandwidth (data flow) up to 60% to further reduce compression-related visual flaws.

*IMAX’s powerful audio system delivers laser-aligned digital sound – conventional theatres use standard non-discrete 5.1 surround. IMAX’s system features five “discrete” channels and sub loudspeaker technology. Discrete sound technology enables sounds to be accurately placed in specific areas of the theatre to create a more realistic and immersive environment.

*IMAX’s DSP-based audio enhancer will perform customized calibrations for every show starting next year.

*IMAX’s customized theatre geometry maximizes your field of view.

Worship Central '09

Im current worshipping the Lord with other believers at Megatent Ortigas. Worship tonight is led by Tim Hughes and Al Gordon. CBC youth is here also. Praise God!

The best job in the world

I read article online a few months back about the best job in the world. It entices the person to apply because of its "simple" job description.

The "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, soak up the sun, snorkel the reef, "maybe clean the pool" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

Simple, "write"?

I totally forgot about it, and just recently they picked out the guy with the best job in the world.

"Ben Southall, 34, beat nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream, assignment to swim, to explore and relax, on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, for six months while writing a blog to promote the area."

Lucky man.

Im just amazed.

A place of fellowship

Im currently at UP Sunken garden with honey, eliel, joni and ate joy. We are having our monthly fellowship. Its a nice place. I always wanted to just stay here and just sit back, watch the people, cars, trees and the sky. Haay, so happy to be here.

Neverfails

Two days ago, our Global IT sent an email about a Mail Exchange Schedule Maintenance. Its something that i always delete whenever i received one coz, i just dont care. Haha! I dont know why, but for this particular email, i took the time to read it and i find it so amusing that there is a system that is named Neverfails.

The problem: There will be a short outage in our mail system. The Solution: Neverfails - a system that allows automatic routing to other mail systems.

That is the for the technology, for the internet world, for the online universe.

What is for our own reality? It there such system that allows automatic routing of problems?

YES. There is.

The problem: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23 The solution: "For God so love the world that He gave his only Son, that who ever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16
This solution applies to our daily lives. We are sinners. We need God. We need Jesus.

Hurry now! This is until May 17, 2009 only!

Why I hate and love JOLLIBEE at the same time

I’m on a 1-10pm shift this week, I eat before I go to the office and for my merienda I buy something at gateway or cubao, as I pass there everyday. Yesterday, my taste buds craved for Jolly Hotdog sandwich. Luckily, I will pass by Jollibee Farmers, so no hassle there ( I thought) so at around lunch time I bought 1 jolly hotdog sandwich and left.
I didn’t open the sandwich until 730pm, when my tummy called for it. As I open the styro, the melted cheese and ketchup greeted me. I was actually considering of heating it, when suddenly something caught my eye. The picture below shows what is tattoed on my jolly hotdog bread.



Yes, its mold. Sabi ni Khaye, “kung ayaw mo ako nalang kakain” Sabi ko naman isa lang naman at maliit so kakainin ko nalang kesa si khaye kumain, walang pupuntahan pag iinarte ko – gutom lang. Haha. BUT! Wait there’s more! When I was about to remove the molded part, there I see.. a twin of the mold. Magkalayo sila ng onti, theyr like “kambal sa Uma” haha!



After I saw the kambal sa tinapay ko, I decided that its payback time. I will not tolerate such uncleanliness, sure thing hindi nakakamatay ang molds when you eat it but given the health problems that we are facing right now I wouldn’t want to risk it. I went back to Jollibee Farmers, its two lrt station away from my office. Kung kasi after shift ko eh hindi ko na ito maabutan pang bukas, so I spent 24p for that. When I arrived at Jollibee, my first few words were, “Sinong manager on duty niyo?” (Mejo not-so-friendly-tone yan) pero ayoko rin naman kasi magmaganda, so when the manager faced me I told him that I will be returning the product that I bought that afternoon. He went inside inspected it then went back to me and apologize. He told me that they were not able to check the bread, its kahapon pa daw, but the bread they have that moment eh bago na daw lahat. I asked him, “so you’re always giving bread na hindi fresh?” to which he contested, “No mam, hindi lang po naman na check. Sorry po.” I asked, “So, ibabalik niyo ba yung payment ko or papalitan niyo nalang?” Sabi naman ni manager eh, “kayo po bahala, pili nalang po kayo ng iba or ibabalik po naming bayad.” Sabi ko naman, “hindi nalang, nawalan na ako ng gana. Pero bibili pa din ako kasi may nagpapabili sa akin.” Manager, “sige po mam pili lang po kayo.” Actually may gana pa ako at gutom na gutom pa din, buti nalang at di niya narinig na nagrumble ang tiyan ko. So I gave him my order and upuan na ako dahil sabi naman niya eh ibibigay niya nalang sa akin. After a few minutes dumating na siya dala ang take out ko, 1 ice craze, 1 large fries, and 1 spaghetti, to which I asked, “ magkano po lahat?” sabay abot ng bayad. Sabi naman ni manager, “ay sige po mam, wag niyo na pong bayaran.” Sabay tingin sa take out, “ay sabi ko 2 large fries.” Manager, “ ay dalawa po ba saglit lang po”
Pagdating ng isa pang large fries, inabot ko ulit ang bayad, at umiling ulit siya. I asked, “sure ka?” manager, “yes po mam, pasensya na po ha.” Sabi ko naman, “okay, thank you” sabay alis dahil baka magbago pa isip niya. Haha!
So ayun. I hate and love Jollibee at the same time. My 42p Jolly Hotdog was replaced by 1 large fries and 1 jolly spaghetti =)

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE - Worldwide Main Trailer and New Banners

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the latest trailer for the next Harry Potter film, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Jim Broadbent. Together with the latest trailer also comes the unveiling of the four latest banner artworks which features Harry and Professor Dumbledore, Hermione and Professor Slughorn, Ron and Ginny, and Draco and Professor Snape.

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE will be released nationwide across the Philippines on July 16th, by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Why worry when you can pray?

Thanks for the reminder Hon!

More Hours in my Day

The moment i read the title from the OMFlit Newsletter, i instantly knew this book is for me.

From my blog awhile ago, i did mention the word busy a lot of times. I don't actually know a person that's not busy, almost everybody is. From waking up to preparing for work, to daily rituals, to work, to personal life, to church life, to social life and all kinds of extra curricular activities.. almost everybody has a single thing to do every minute of their lives.

As i read on thru what this book is all about, i learned that i need to be organized not only with my things but also with my life. Being an OC person, i feel betrayed that i am organized with my things and not with my life, haha! A friend once told me that i do not need to learn time management, i need be an expert on activity management, coz its what i need the most. (that was after sharing to her all my burdens, from work, church, ministry, family and personal life) and eversince then i never forgot what she said.

I cant wait to get my hands on this book.

Happy Reading

My new year

Yeay! i finally got to blog. after a looong looong time.. I feel like im just going to start my year.. im going to bore you now with what has been happening with my life right now and awhile back..

Last February Angel and I got back together yes, after a year or more ata of being separated. We are much more happy now than before. WE have settled a lot of things that were a problem before so everything is pretty much ok :)

PS: i really plan to blog atleast thrice a wekk, lets see how i will do that

Angel

Once upon a time there were two Angels..They're a very happy couple. They love each other so much.






But there are some things that got in the way and things that they couldn't control.. there was no other choice but to part ways.. that situation alert everybody and the news spread like fire..





But God is good and what He wants to happen, really happen. The two Angels believed that they are really meant for each other and eventhough they are apart they still think of each other and wish each other's safety. God blessed them ONE MORE CHANCE and now they are back in each other's arms again.. still in love and will forever be..

PS: I Love You!
