Author Topic: Technical Specs for UP Now Available Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-23-2009 09:46 PM                     Technical Specifications for 35mm, 2d-Digital and 3d-Digital presentations of UP are available at the Disney Digital Cinema Portal. Click on the words "Up Tech Docs" This is NOT a password-protected site. On the 35mm page, the French directions appear first...scroll down for the English version. The 3d version of UP is times at 4.5 fl.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-24-2009 06:46 AM                     As usual, plenty of stuff, including checkframes, at projection.pixar.com. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 05-24-2009 09:41 AM                     eheh... from this page quote: Confirm that you are running Scope Format (1.85:1) However, great help from Pixar!! Two thumbs up!!  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-24-2009 01:35 PM                        That's a pretty serious mistake on a Prefect Projection instruction page. You would think SOMEONE there would have caught that.....and fixed it. Let's see how long before they do. Unless we are all wrong and it is indeed an anamorphic print that results in a 1.85:1 image on the screen. Really unlikely.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-24-2009 02:24 PM                     And the site's contact info doesn't have an email to send someone about this big flub-up.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-24-2009 02:25 PM                     It is exactly what they said. Use the scope lens with 1.85 masking. Come on guys, you call yourselves professionals??? Don't forget to run the volume at 7db too!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-24-2009 02:57 PM                     We've already received our digital copy and according to the spec sheet its supposed to be shown in 2k 3D FLAT 1.85:1(1998x1080). We don't have 1998x1080 in the 3D option, but we do have it for 2D. Is this a typo or do I need to contact our installers to setup the 1980x1080 3D?  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 05-24-2009 03:42 PM                    Wow, what the hell happened over there at Pixar?! Good grief.  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 05-24-2009 04:59 PM                     Jeremy- Only the newer projectors can do "full chip" (1998X1080) 3D. Just run it on your regular flat 3D channel, it will look fine.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-24-2009 05:27 PM                     Hey Matt, I'm using a Christie 2000ZX installed 4 weeks ago. Should it have the full chip 3D?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-24-2009 06:02 PM                     Yes. triple-flash ZXs have been shippin for some time now.  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 05-25-2009 04:12 PM                     I got my ZX in January. I do have triple flash, but my dealer told me at that time that Christie was selling non-triple flash ZX's at a discount price to customers who had requested the M projector. Perhaps Jeremy's theatre got one of those, but I have no idea if Christie is still doing that.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 05-26-2009 06:48 PM                     Eheh, they've corrected it!  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 05-27-2009 01:16 PM                     Okay, anybody know about 4K for UP? My most favorite theater ever just acquired one of those ill-advised Sony 4Ks for their main auditorium, and I am curious if they could possibly have full 4K resolution. Does the Sony even have triple flash to play 4K 3D if the content were there? I'm going to the premier, and will post my impressions of their new system (Sony and Real D, CP500, no idea on the server) in the video forum.  |  IP: Logged Peter Castle Expert Film Handler Posts: 220 From: Wollongong University, NSW ,Australia Registered: Oct 2003 posted 05-28-2009 02:59 AM                     Sony's 3D system splits their 4K chip into two 2K parts, so there would be no use in a 4K 3D source, and I very much doubt the existence of such.  |  IP: Logged
