MasterImage’s High-Brightness HORIZON3D Cinema System Receives 2014 Technology Award from International 3D and Advanced Imaging Society
The International 3D and Advanced Imaging Society
honored nineteen companies and organizations today for “Advancing the Entertainment Industry through Technology,” during
the Society’s 5th Annual Entertainment Technology and New Product
Awards ceremony held at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood.
MasterImage
3D was honored with the Society’s Lumiere statuette for its high-brightness
HORIZON3D digital cinema system. The
HORIZON3D is the lastest in MasterImage 3D’s line of premium cinema systems.
This innovative three-beam light-recycling system achieves industry-leading
brightness and color fidelity as the first system to reach light-effficiency
levels of 33%.
The
HORIZON3D’s distinctive optical configuration accommodates contemporary
auditoriums with wider screens and more immersive, stadium seating. The result is capabilities of a 0.8
throw-ratio (exhibitor measurement for distance from lens to screen divided by the width of the image).
“As
a founding member of the Society in 2009, MasterImage 3D continues to champion
the 3D market and advance 3D cinema technologies,” said Society President Jim Chabin.
“We are proud to recognize the HORIZON3D system as the latest chapter in
this tradition.”
“The
Society’s Technology Awards are a milestone for how advanced imaging companies innovate
immersive visual experiences.” said Younghoon Lee, Chairman and CEO of
MasterImage 3D. “It is an honor to
be a part of the Society and community of companies and organization that are
passionate about making going to 3D movies a more and more enjoyable activity. ”
This
is the third year MasterImage 3D has received a Lumiere Award. Last year the company was recognized for
their CellMatrix3D technology for autostereoscopic (glass-free) 3D optics for
3D mobile devices. MasterImage 3D was
first acknowledged for their original MI-2100 digital 3D cinema system which
went on to be their flagship MI-CLARITY3D line.
