Nu Metro joins 3D revolution

8 Apr 2008

3D cinema has come to Nu Metro Montecasino in Johannesburg with the recent installation of a Barco 2k digital cinema projector by Questek Advanced Technologies.

The D-Cine Premiere DP100 digital projector delivers 2048 x 1080 display resolution and exceeds the American-based Society of Motion Picture Engineers screen brightness standards on screens up to 20m wide. Using Texas Instruments DLP cinema technology, the DP100's integrated light path and digital processing ensures optimum performance and reliability.

“The Barco D-Cine Premiere range offers the most advanced digital cinema projectors globally, allowing 3D to take the cinema experience to a new level for audiences,” says Sobi Mokholo, GM, Questek Advanced Technologies.

The DP100 digital projector contains a hermetically sealed DMD engine that makes maintenance easy and increases the longevity of the product. The triple lamp power system has a backup to ensure that if one power supply fails the display is not affected.

The first 3D screening at Nu Metro Montecasino has been Hannah Montana and U2 3D.
