Sony to unveil 4K Digital Projection Technology with Spider Man 2

For the first time, a major movie is going to be shown using Sony’s “4K” Digital Projection System.

“4K” designates the 4096 pixels resolution that each frame of the movie has on the horizontal axis. The 4096×2160 contains four times more pixels than the highest HDTV standard: 1080p (1920×1080 pixels).

The projector is using the “Silicon X-tal Reflective Display” (SXRD) developed by Sony. The goal is to set SXRD as an industry standard that will change the way movies are created and shown.
