Sony demonstrates world’s first commercially available 4K projector

At Cinema Expo this year, Sony is demonstrating the world’s first commercially available ‘4K’-pixel projector.
The SXR-R110 projector uniquely bridges the gap between today’s 2K standard and the future Hollywood studio standard of 4K.
The SRX-R110 conforms to DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) System Specification standards for digital cinema picture quality and achieves an extraordinary 4K (4096 x 2160) image resolution – four times the resolution of a 2K projector – in anticipation of future 4K movie releases by the major Hollywood studios. The SRX-R110 therefore represents a unique futureproof investment.
The SRX-R110 also accepts 2K or High Definition sources that are used for today’s digital theatre exhibition, yet will always display them on the screen as a 4K image by using advanced digital technology. The size of the individual pixels is therefore always one quarter of those displayed by the current 2K projectors, which renders them invisible.
The SRX-R110 is equally suitable for screening ‘all digital’ productions that have been shot and produced entirely in High Definition, or features that have been acquired with 35mm film. The new projector is based on Sony’s SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) panel technology that produces a smooth, film-like picture with higher levels of image resolution, contrast, and response speed than any other digital presentation system.
