2D and stereoscopic 3D HD/Digital Cinema Capture, Display, and Storage
EF 2010-11
Résumé
The proposed equipment is an integrated package of capture, display/projection, and storage technologies that will enable significant research in the key research and knowledge dissemination areas of the Screen Industries Research and Training (SIRT) Centre, a division of Sheridan College's Applied Research. It will allow for both capture of high quality 2D and stereoscopic 3D image sequences for research purposes in a multitude of projects, and for their projection/display at a 4K digital cinema level. This is the highest quality of image resolution currently available on commercial digital cinema cameras and will allow SIRT to carry out extensive research into these technologies. The projection system can also be used for 2K projection and other formats depending on the research needs. In addition, the projection capabilities will allow us to research stereoscopic 3D workflows at the highest theatrical resolution, complementing the technologies for stereoscopic television
post-production and display already present at the SIRT Centre. In this multi-platform delivery environment, media today may be displayed in formats from large theatrical cinemas to small mobile devices but it is critical that the initial images have the capacity to be captured, stored and displayed at the highest quality possible. This equipment will enable SIRT to provide this capacity to both industry partners and academic researchers, creating a unique centre for the research and development of
content production and display for the screen-based industries. This will complement and significantly help to complete the range of technological options present at the Centre, so that issues related to production and display of the same content on screens of varying sizes can be effectively addressed in a single location. This will enable the SIRT Centre to achieve its aim of providing researchers and industry partners with both capture and display technologies that allow them to approach the
production process for these different screens as an integrated environment.
