Author Topic: Cyan Tracks on Films Made in India Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-19-2005 06:06 PM                     We have been helping/advising a man who is going to open a theatre in Hampton, Va. to present Indian films. Does anybody know whether studios in India are going to make this transition? The equipment he has is equipped with exciters, he would like to keep set up cost down as much as possible.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Case Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Sydney NSW Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 01-19-2005 06:20 PM                       I was asked about the technicalities of printing cyan tracks by someone from an Indian lab a few months ago. So obviously they are considering doing this. Though the time of the changeover would be determined by the number of cinemas in India that have red LED readers - and I'm not sure what stage they are at there.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2005 08:24 PM                     The last to bollywood epics that I played in toronto both had cyan tracks on them  |  IP: Logged Dominic Case Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Sydney NSW Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 01-20-2005 05:47 PM                       quote: Gordon McLeod The last to bollywood epics that I played in toronto both had cyan tracks on them Prints brought in from India?
