Are LEDs The Future For HDR Cinema?

LED HDR cinemas are certainly one strong possibility for the next generation cinema, but projection solutions will be vying to compete too. At the next Display Summit, Oct. 2-4, many of the aspects of Next Generation cinema will be explored – with a bonus session to showcase the HDR sound and images on the LA area’s first commercial LED cinema screen.

Key questions the event hopes to address for Next Generation Cinema include:

• What is the creative impact of emergence of LED cinema screens?
• How will we specify LED cinema screens?
• Are new cinema mastering, security and distribution standards needed for HDR cinema?
• Can projection offer a compelling HDR solution?
• Can other markets like theme parks, museums, planetariums and performance venues use similar LED cinema technology?
• What audio solutions work with LED cinema solutions?
• Will microLEDs displace convention SMD-LEDs in these venues?
• Will quantum dots or laser projection drive toward adoption of color gamuts in excess of DCI-P3?
• Are light-field-based large venues closer than you think?
• What is the adoption rate for next generation cinema?
• Is new metrology needed?
