19-01-12: Qube Cinema has revealed a high bit-rate 4K stereoscopic DCP through two Barco projectors.
It was presented at the Moody Gardens Digital Cinema Symposium and played back an 800 Mbps DCP, which is over three times the maximum DCI bit rate specification of 250. This then makes it possible for a single server with one DCP to then drive two projectors.
"Seeing the film in 4K 3D was a startling experience," said Melissa Butts, the director of Space Junk 3D. "All the hard work we put into shading, lighting and textures was that much more brilliant and remarkable. What Qube is offering is very exciting for filmmakers and audiences. With all the detail, everything just looks and feels more real."
"With 4K 3D, and the high frame rate capabilities of the Qube XP-I server, the promise of digital cinema is now being realized," said Rajesh Ramachandran, president and CTO of Qube Cinema. "Exhibitors can now offer a truly stunning theatre experience for their patrons."
Qube Cinema also showed the high frame rate capabilities of the Qube XP-1 server.
"I was most impressed with the Qube XP-I's ability to play back all our high bit rate 4K and high frame rate 2K content from a single server," said Andy Wood, senior vice president, Business Development at D3D Cinema and Giant Screen Films. "Before Qube's innovation, at standard DCI specs, we could only achieve dual projector 4K 3D playback with a complicated double server configuration which included ancillary sync generators and a very restrictive setup. Qube Cinema has made 4K 3D and high frame rate 2K a reality."
