Movie magic: A digital movie showing at Talkie Town.
HYDERABAD: The urge to watch a movie on the big screen may have been eclipsed, but it wasn’t certainly extinguished. After the era of video cassettes, VCDs and DVDs, it’s now the turn of movie theatres in the city, thanks to technological advances.
If the promise of crystal clear images, rich colours and distortion-free sound track through home entertainment systems had lured the movie buffs to confine themselves to the comforts of their drawing rooms, it’s now the theatres which offer a similar quality movie watching experience…through digital projection systems.
Though movie projection has improved technically, with state-of-the art projectors being used, they still depend on the conventional film reels, but the digital projection systems now available in some theatres certainly takes movie-watching to new heights.
The digital projection systems, industry sources say, are now available in Cine Planet, Venkataramana, Priya and latest to join the bandwagon is Talkie Town of E-city Ventures in Miyapur. In the digital projection system, the digitised movie is loaded on the hard disc of a powerful computer and projected onto the 70 mm screen. “We give viewers a fine infrastructure at reasonable rates”, Vishal Kapoor, COO of Talkie Town says.
