Lightspeed Design has launched a new short throw DepthQ 3D modulator to sit in front of a cinema projector and create polarized left and right eye images. The CineBright Short Throw (CBST) is designed for use with standard digital cinema zoom lenses of more than 1.13 and “flat” image ratios.
The company also reports that the European Patent Office has granted European Patent No. EP 2959341 “Stereoscopic Light Recycling Device” for its DepthQ CineBright 3D high brightness passive polarization product. Chris Ward, President of Lightspeed Design said,
“The grant of this patent by the European Patent Office, in addition to our patents in the US and Canada, is further confirmation of the unique design of our DepthQ CineBright product, reinforcing its legitimacy as an IP-protected alternative for theater owners who want to present royalty-free, high-brightness, high-quality 3D in theaters worldwide.”
Lightspeed developed technology for digital cinemas that is now being used in 2,500 movie theaters around the world and is certified by six major Hollywood studios.
Lightspeed Design developed the 3D modulator with LC-Tec Displays AB. The two recently signed a new exclusive multiyear distribution agreement to ensure that the patented PolarSpeed technology manufactured by LCTec will continue to be solely used in DepthQ 3D Passive Polarization products for Digital Cinema. – CC
