No, that's not true. Cameron has made 2 versions for digital (2D or 3D)...one flat and one scope so whatever type screen masking you have they will send you the file to leave the image at its largest size. All digital cinemas were contacted and asked to provide this info. If you've not been contacted get in touch with them now.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-11-2009 01:31 PM                     More info: Drives are due on Wednesday. KDMs won't be active until 8am on Thursday. John is right...and Cameron is SERIOUSLY overestimating the people who will be running his movie. Deluxe confirmed to me that locations with two different types of masking will get two different hard drives (one flat and one scope) and that the theaters are expected to keep track of which file plays through which channel in which auditorium. He will going to create more problems here than possible good.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

We got nothing with ours and the standard one we have really is awful. I'm using RealD.  |  IP: Logged
