Toactivate various devices using RS485, a repeater is generally used. In current digital cinema systems, each device is controlled with RS485 by mixing RS485 and DMX512. However, as today’s cinema equips hundreds of 4D chairs and the environmental directors, it is nearly infeasible for the legacy system to control. To this end, this paper designs and implements a new system which makes hundreds of 4D chairs and the environmental directors be controlled simultaneously exploiting RS485 network topology and its repeaters. The proposed approach is tested in a real-time system for assessing the performance by Paessler Router Traffic Grapher (PRTG) in Windows environment.

    Chapter 1 A Brief History of the Film Industry Group This is a book about the film industry and how it functions as a business, how it is changing, and why. Movies have been made and sold for over 100 years and a study of the history of the business shows that there are recurring trends, techno- logical developments, and inflection points that impact and foretell the future of film. An understanding of this history will help a studentFrancis of, and participant in, the industry to anticipate what is coming next. This &book will cover the basic components of the industry providing the reader with an understanding of how movies are created and sold, and how those basic components interact. In the popular imagination, the movie business is a handful of big, well- known studios located in Los Angeles, the films these studios release, and the movie stars that appear in them. While it is true that theTaylor studios are responsible for producing and distributing the movies that receive -the most public attention and generate the most revenue, the film business encompasses much more than just the studios and their output including: Internet companies streaming film and television shows like Amazon, Netflix and Google and others; numerous online film platforms; inde- pendent filmmakers working outside the studio system and producing some of the most interesting and thought-Materialprovoking films; documentarians focusing on social and political issues; animators; producers and distributors of films made for tele- vision, video, and DVD (digital video disc); producers creating corporate films, web videos and webisodes, virtual reality films, and educational films; independent distributors; technology companies expanding into media distribution; foreign sales agents; theatrical exhibitors; talent agents and managers; as well as the thou- sands of vendors providing services required to create, market, and distribute these films.

  • Stereoskopisk 3D-Film
    Stereoskopisk 3D-film En studie om tittarens upplevelse av 3D-film Magnus Edlund Robin Lindahl Institutionen för informatik Utbildningsprogrammets namn Examensarbete på kandidatnivå, 15 hp SPB 2014.27 Abstract Since the release of Avatar in 2009, the 3D movie industry has experienced an apparent growth. Almost all blockbuster movies are being released in 3D at the cinema, but the 3D format has been met with mixed opinions by the consumers. Some argue that 3D is the future, while others believe that the 2D format is enough for an appreciated movie experience. Through a qualitative survey, twenty participants with 3DTV in their homes answered questions regarding their experience of 3D movies and what improvements they desire. We suggest that 3D film creates immersion, realism and effects that 2D films can´t handle. We also show that 3D, even though it has become a standard in today's television sets, is seen as an unnecessary technology, and has several problem areas that need attention in order to give a better experience. 1 Innehållsförteckning 1.

R.L. Rutsky, Ph.D. Associate Professor , i ______ Aaron Kerner, Ph.D. Professor EXPANDED SPECTATORSHIP: CINEMA IN THE POST-PRESCENIUM ERA Oren Bonen San Francisco, California 2017 The more cinema technology evolves, the closer we seem to get to primitive performance models. Virtual Reality, 3D, 4D, Augmented Reality, Holograms, all return to the origins of cinema and to Tom Gunning's "Cinema of Attractions." I will explore the ways in which spectators absorb cinema in an environment of ever- changing media, discussing the current Post-Media era. My major focus will be on the following questions: Will the utilization of these new technologies create a new, more popular medium? What do we lose when we remove the traditional cinema experience to which we've become accustomed? Furthermore, could this put an end to narrative cinema? I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis.

    A Method of Viewing 3D Horror Contents for Amplifying Horror Experience Nao Omori1, Masato Tsutsui2, and Ryoko Ueoka3 1 Solidray Co., Ltd. 2 Graduate School of Integrated Frontier Sciences, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan 3 Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan {morio-lp4,ds107766}@gmail.com, [email protected] Abstract. Current 3D digital film gives us a realistic sensation. Also adding physical effect with 3D film called 4D film becomes common entertainment system which generates more realistic sensation. So there are many commercial entertainment systems in order to give realistic experience adapted to such as horror contents. However there is still some problem that is unable us to im- merse the horror contents. In order to find an effective way to amplify horror experience to viewers, we propose an original film-viewing theater environ- ment. In concrete, we made a locker-type theater environment implementing polarizing filters on peephole of a locker door. This makes a viewer force to stand when to peep a 3d horror movie in a closed space without wearing 3D glasses. And by peeping a screen from a small hole, it is unable to see an edge of a large screen. By evaluating heart rate of viewers and conducting question- naire-based survey, we confirmed our proposed method amplifies a horror experience especially by producing a closed viewing space. Keywords: 4D film, virtual reality, virtual horror experience. 1 Introduction Current 3D digital film gives us a realistic sensation.
