Bob Lambert, in a discussion addressing the future of projection technologies, noted that 14 foot-lamberts are “very hard to do for 3D. It is extremely important that we get the light level up.” He noted that improvements can be made.
“The conversion that needs to take place is not so much technical, but a change in the market,” said Lambert. “The exhibitor that decides to (use solid state lighting) first is a competitive advantage… It needs to be in the hands of exhibitors and others will follow suit.”
Sony’s Peter Lude — wearing his Laser Illuminated Projector Association hat — discussed laser regulatory requirements. He reported that LIPA has completed a regulatory white paper and commissioned a laser testing program.
Barco’s Theo Marescaux related that the company recently conducted a laser demo, aimed at starting to educate the market and prompt industry discussion. “We would like to establish a dialogue,” he said.
