Just wondering if digital IMAX is a different file than non-IMAX digital.

I can't answer the question. However, I don't see why the JPEG2000 file would be any different. IMAX Digital auditoriums aren't showing anything more in terms of native detail than what a 2K DCI JPEG2000 file provides. The IMAX setup is merely a little bit larger than conventional 2K houses and not any larger than some 2K houses with giant sized screens.

I wondered if the digital IMAX file was "DMR"-enhanced like their film presentation.

The digital file would not need to be "DMR" enhanced since the projector setup has the same native resolution as a standard 2K setup.

Yes, it is a different print. Currently all digital IMAX prints are mastered by IMAX.

So what makes it different than the non-IMAX version?

I only know that the prints and KDM's for the IMAX system are specific. I don't know what the spec difference is.
