Trials are being conducted with digital movie projection at 16 selected locations in the United States, Europe and Japan. Half-million movie-goers have already experienced digital cinema. “The prototype projector is called a DLP, or digital light processor. It’s basically a glorified DVD player that uses a new micro-mirror engine to interpret, then “throw” a video image on to the big screen. The result is comparable to, and in some cases better than, the way movies have been projected for more than 100 years, with a light shone through sequential, sprocketed celluloid frames pulled by a claw mechanism through a synchronized shutter.” – National Post (Canada) 05/26/00
