Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-21-2011 07:25 PM                     Actually, Panavision's system is not compatible with anyone elses. Their process most resembles Dolby's but they are not compatible. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Jen Pelto Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Muskegon, MI, USA Registered: Aug 2011 posted 10-22-2011 12:25 PM                     Thank you!  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-22-2011 02:36 PM                     BTW, since you're asking about 35mm, their website claims their system is compatible with all over-under 3D prints. So unless there's something special about technicolor-compatible prints that makes it impossible to use, this should work (since technicolor's prints are of the over-under variety, at least according to tech's 3d website).  |  IP: Logged Jen Pelto Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Muskegon, MI, USA Registered: Aug 2011 posted 10-22-2011 05:57 PM                     When booking, we have to ask for a Technicolor 3D print - however, the Panavision lens will work with a white or silver screen, where the Technicolor lens only works with a silver...would that make a difference?  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-22-2011 06:23 PM                     With respect to the prints themselves, it shouldn't. But the glasses of the 2 systems are definitely not compatible, as mentioned.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-22-2011 06:33 PM                     And the center to center frame distance may be different on both Technicolor and Panavision as well. So you for sure will not be able to run a standard over and under 3-D print with Technicolor's lens. A standard over-under would probably only work with an old Stereovision lens.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 10-22-2011 06:51 PM                     I know of a couple screens using Panavision lenses with Tech prints.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-22-2011 06:52 PM                     Does this mean that Panavision included some mechanism for switching between "standard" over/under and "Technicolor"? Because their site indicates it works with ANY over/under print and not just ones that aren't made by Technicolor...  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-23-2011 06:27 AM                     The Panavision centering is the same as Technicolor so the prints are compatable  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 10-23-2011 07:08 AM                     We use the Technicolor test loops with Panavision glasses to set up Panavision 3-D in all the theaters we have done.  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 10-23-2011 07:24 PM                     Any StereoVision .374 over/under split lens will work on Tech. 3D prints. Sirius adjustable split lens will also work perfectly.

Panavision's 35mm lenses are manufactured by the same people as Technicolor's! So they are identical in geometry and alignment. So you can use the Technicolor line-up chart to align your Panavision system. With Technicolor, they insert polarising filters, so you need a silver screen to maintain the polarisation and polarised glasses. With Panavision, they insert colour filters, so it'll work on any screen surface, but you need Panavision glasses. You can use the same Panavision glasses for their digital system.
