New digital movies have four times the pixels

posted in: All News, Digital Cinema, USA | 0

From now till the end of the month, the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago is showing remastered movies in a new digital format.

4K has four times the amount of pixels than the current digital standard. Most cinemas now use digital systems instead of actual film, and those are in 2K. 4K has slightly more information in each picture than an IMAX movie. These digital standards are more important now, because Fujifilm is no longer making film for movies, leaving Kodak, which is restructuring after declaring bankruptcy, the sole provider of 35mm film.
