While digital projection technology is becoming much more advanced in recent years, there has been recent discussion about keeping your film projectors due to the nature of the image resolution. According to Steven J. Thorburn, PE, “Today’s DCI compliant moving picture furnishes only ¼ to 1/10 of the picture information you could see in the typical 35mm movie house,” he adds, “You get 2,048 dots or pixels across your projected image, whether your screen is 20-feet or 100-feet wide. Project it onto an 80-foot wide giant screen and you get roughly 25 pixels per foot, or about two dots of content for every inch of image. I call that grainy.” While digital projectors utilize advanced technology, they apparently cannot compare with regard to high-quality visual resolution and color depth. In time, digital projection technology will advance to bring higher resolution visual imagery.
