Schulman Theatres has installed a direct-view LED cinema screen at Film Alley Bastrop in Texas. The 87-seat SPX Direct auditorium uses GDC Technology’s Tricorne display with a 2.5 mm pixel pitch, according to the supplier.
The screen is acoustically transparent, so the front loudspeakers can sit behind the picture. That preserves the familiar centre-channel position for dialogue. An opaque LED display requires a different arrangement, often with loudspeakers around the picture.
GDC lists support for HDR, high-frame-rate and 3D presentations. Those are system capabilities, and the formats audiences see will depend on the films and versions booked by the cinema.
