@Speaks_Div At present, the most qualified projection system and technology available for projectors seeking DCI HDR and CTP 1.5.0 HDR projector certification is light-steering technology.
@Speaks_Div I know, my friend. What I meant was whether you have any information or updates about Barco or Christie going through this process and completing these steps. It would be a major development if the LS4K and Barco HDR projectors could obtain this certification.
@Speaks_Div Hey, brother. Do you have any accurate and reliable information or updates about the testing process and the steps required for projectors to obtain DCI HDR certification? The issue you mentioned is extremely important and truly a game changer.
@JohnnyFocal@Speaks_Div@kdcloudy@Barco@vuecinemas Or are these projectors only now beginning to ship to Vue and other exhibitors, with installations planned for future Vue cinemas and post-production houses?
@JohnnyFocal@Speaks_Div@kdcloudy@Barco@vuecinemas To clarify: Has Vue been using prototype LightSteering DCI HDR projectors since 2025, and have these units been installed and commissioned in EPIC by Vue auditoriums?
@JohnnyFocal@Speaks_Div@kdcloudy@Barco@vuecinemas Thank you for your response. Yes, I have experienced HDR by Barco, though not at Vue cinemas. However, I still haven’t received a clear answer to my question.
@JohnnyFocal@Speaks_Div@kdcloudy@Barco@vuecinemas Are you saying that the HDR by Barco projection systems installed at VUE in 2025 are using the previous‑gen LS4K projectors, and that the new VUE cinema Theatres launching in 2026 will be equipped with next‑gen prototype Lightsteering DCI HDR projectors?
@Speaks_Div Overall, what really makes me happy is that I heard from a Barco member (and another source close to the company) that Barco is actively working on the next generation of LS4K projectors.
@Speaks_Div I think that might be what you meant by 'instability.' Also, any instability at 300 nits could be directly related to whether the installation and setup were standard or not.
@Speaks_Div What’s interesting—and I actually thought the same thing at first—is that I assumed the '300' in the DCI HDR specs referred to full-screen brightness. However, I recently realized it actually refers to peak highlights of up to 300 nits, not full-screen brightness.
@Speaks_Div Based on a test conducted on Barco’s HDR solution in September 2024, it delivered a black level of 0.01 and an intra-frame contrast of 30,000:1. While true that this doesn't strictly meet exact DCI HDR specs, it is sufficient for a solid, acceptable HDR presentation.
One of the most disturbing and under talked about stories right now in the United States is the fact that People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), also known as Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK)
MEK is passing out money to GOP operatives and lobbyists to influence the outcome of the Iranian people led regime change in Iran.
MEK is being pushed as an alternative to the Islamic regime in Iran, when in reality they are the same thing, dressed up in colorful clothing. MEK was responsible for the death of U.S. military officers and contractors in Iran between 1973 and 1976.
MEK is a terrorist, Marxist and Islamist cult that is rejected inside Iran. It is critical to note they murdered American soldiers, celebrated the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks on New York City, and are longtime allies of the PLO Islamic terrorist organization, among having involvement in other atrocities.
Until a decade ago, MEK was designated as a terrorist group in the US and Canada. Their terror designation was removed by Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton under the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama @BarackObama, who enabled and funded the Iranian regime, paving the way for the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. On May 8, 2018, President Donald Trump announced the United States' withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal. Obama’s policies on Iran resulting in the rise of Iranian backed Islamic terror, and the death of many US soldiers.
I’ll be reporting on this more. If you are a conservative or GOP lobbyist and you are taking money to promote Islamic terrorism and further the oppression of the Iranian people, I am going to expose you and publicly humiliate you. I will also report you to the @StateDept and @FBI.
If you have information about any GOP officials who are taking money from MEK to spread their terrorist propaganda, please contact the Loomered Tip Line.
