Michael Bay Speaks on Theaters Dimming Projectors

With so many different ways to consume digital content it’s almost becoming completely unnecessary to leave the house for entertainment purposes. However, if you’re looking to check out the latest big budget movies you’re going to have to head to your local cinema.
As you may or may not know the cinema industry is hurting just like everyone else but even more so due to rampant Internet piracy. Due to this, they have been looking to do what they can in order to cut costs and stretch their budget ever further. One way of doing this is to dim projectors in order to save not only energy but to increase the projector bulb’s life as well. While this isn’t exactly the most noticeable thing in the world the problem comes when watching 3D movies as wearing 3D glasses already dims the lights.
We haven’t heard too much about this problem but it seems to be widespread enough that Transformers director Michael Bay has come forth to speak on the matter telling cinemas to cease doing this. He then goes on to explain that the latest Transformers flick, Dark of the Moon, has extremely technical 3D shots that require the highest quality projectors. For such shot, a dimmed projector just won’t do. If you think your local cinema is dimming the projector be sure to complain to the management and tell them you’re looking to get your moneys worth.

MiLi Pico Projector 2 review

The last time that we discussed MiLi, it had to do with the MiLi HD unveiled at CES 2011. Now, they have the Pico Projector 2.

The Pico Projector 2 is apparently fifty percent slimmer than its former model, and its battery life has been extended to about 2.5 hours. It also has that “slimmer form factor”.

The design of the Pico Projector 2 isn’t really made for home theaters, but it is good for portability, and cases in which the user can just whip out a projector from their jacket pocket. Especially one that is compatible with the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, not to mention an AV device like a PC or Mac.

If something like this is truly “floating your boat” as far as a portable projector goes, then you should probably get aboard this particular train. The MiLiPico Projector 2 should soon be available from BeamBox on May 26 for a price about $482. ( Cybertheater.com)

Sound projectors don’t really feature on the list of gizmos we bump into as often as we’d like to. Like Yamaha’s YSP-2200 digital sound projector that lends support to HD and 3D for an enhanced home theater experience.

Standing short at 3.5”, the device has feet with adjustable height and a 100W subwoofer which can be set vertically or horizontally. Users can avail of 7.1-channel surround sound without hooking up extra speakers to it.

These programs may be utilized to improve the gaming experience as well. The projector also decodes HD audio signals for the benefit of Blu-ray disc players and other digital sources.

“Most consumers want the benefits of 7.1 surround sound, but don’t want to compromise the look of their living room,” remarked Tom Sumner, President, Yamaha Electronics. “Yamaha’s YSP-2200 technology allows for the enjoyment of surround sound without additional speakers, unsightly cables and stands.”

Each of the speaker beam drivers embedded into this system has a digital amplifier as well as a digital amplifier. Its Music Enhancer functionality optimizes the audio from compressed sources like MP3 files and HDMI 1.4a. Another sound-enhancing feature is the IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration technology.

The Yamaha YSP-2200 costs $999.95. It includes a dock port that is capable of hosting optional peripherals like the YID-W10 wireless dock for iPod and iPhone, YBA-10 Bluetooth wireless audio receiver or the YDS-12 universal dock for iPod and iPhone.

This projector features a 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution, 2500 ANSI lumens, an 1800:1 contrast ratio, HDMI port and USB. What is unique about this projector is the fact that it utilizes Green Slim technology that combine LED and lasers resulting in a lamp rated at around 20,000 hours.
