  • Fathom Events---DCP? or something else?

    I remember fathom events from years ago being poor quality video. Are the fathom events these days all dcp's or some kind of video transmission?

    thank you for your answers.

    I've never seen a Fantom event but someone said they were using Blu Rays.

      Fathoms email response to me "so far says"---The King Kong event will be transmitted via our satellite network. Theatres will then screen the event from their pre recorded feed.

        I've done screenings at a couple of theaters that also ran some of the FATHOM events. I believe the big theater
        chains have a satellite downlink, mainly for their 'live' events. But I've also seen a "Fathom Server" installed in
        a couple of places, which automatically downloads the content from the internet. I've never actually been to
        or seen a Fathom event, so I can't comment on quality.

          I saw "They Shall Not Grow Old" as a Fathom event. Other than the lamp failing to ignite and them having to restart the show, the video quality was fine.
