LIGHTSPEED INSTALLS 3D CINEMA EQUIPMENT FOR CONTINENTAL TEVES’ MOBILE EXHIBIT



Bellevue, WA- September, 2003: Continental Teves' "Safely There" mobile exhibit and marketing campaign, featuring a 3D high-definition film by Lightspeed is now crisscrossing the country in an 85-foot mobile exhibit powered by DepthQ 3D Cinema Technology.

Perfecting Projection Technology

Lightspeed's DepthQ Stereoscopic Media Server and inexpensive digital video projectors are used to play back the 3D film, at HDTV resolution. DepthQ is a specialized professional-quality digital server technology for the display of stereoscopic 3D film and video media. The system is easy enough for the trailer staff to operate yet rugged enough to withstand a six-month touring schedule.

No matter how much care goes into the film making process, audiences will not experience a realistic 3D movie unless the projection technology is up to the task. Lightspeed has achieved the finest 3D imagery possible using a relatively simple off-the-shelf equipment configuration.











A typical DepthQ 3D Digital Cinema is configured with two high quality DLP™ based video projectors, the DepthQ Digital Media Server and a silver screen. Lightspeed's proprietary software adds the final touch of perfection by combining the power of realtime 3D nVidia graphics (OpenGL) with Windows streaming video technology. Lightspeed algorithms fine-tune the streaming video to create the best possible 3D experience based on the dimensions of the theater where the film is being shown.
