The complete Digital Cinema Experience!

CinemaLogic

CinemaLogic is 100% owned and developed in Australia by SKYtech SYSTEMS PTY LTD. Joint development of the once Panamedia range of products developed by software and hardware designer Ray Derrick formerly Panalogic PTY LTD.

CinemaLogic is now an international brand satisfying a broad spectrum of cinema needs throughout the world. CinemaLogic offers a range of products from Digital Signage, I-Cinema (H264 M-peg4), E-Cinema (M-peg2) supporting up to full HD resolution and up to 60p frame rate, through to full DCI compliance.

Our existing customers will notice a whole new look and feel with integrated touch screens, that show the real file streaming and simplified operator controls making the systems even easier to use today. In the background is still the solid, reliable backbone from Panamedia extended to the new range.

Even in the new top of the range MP300 fully DCI compliant cinema server we still support all the I and E server standards as well as the full Hollywood compliance so you only require one product and one projector to satisfy all the needs in the cinema.

Many Suppliers offer Hybrid Digital solutions such as mixing their own server with somebody else's Hollywood server creating a cumbersome workflow. CinemaLogic offers everything you would expect in one server product including cinema automation for lights and curtains without the need for many external components usually seen in a traditional cinema. Years of cinema experience from Panamedia has enabled CinemaLogic to create a refined design to cost effectively automate and simplify the entire cinema workflow.

Why Solid Screens??

Hypascreen solid screens are the obvious choice when looked at this way: Superior picture quality that cuts projector running costs by half.

A recent test by Joe Kane showed conclusively that solid screens give superior image quality. An audience was played footage encoded in both WMV-HD and Mpeg2 and asked to tell the difference. When the footage was played on a solid screen the audience could tell easily which format was playing. When they moved to a perforated screen however they weren’t able to tell what was WMV-HD and what was Mpeg2

This is because perforated screens lose between 18% - 20% of light projected onto it because it slips through the holes. Not only does it make the image darker and harder to see, it softens and blurs lines and edges in the pictures, meaning a distinct lack of clarity and causing eye-strain and fatigue for the audience, which could deter them from coming again. Whereas a solid screen will project all the light back giving a clear and stunning image, and will not lose any of its image definition.

As a direct result of this loss of light, perforated screens are unsuitable to 3D. Images in a 3D movie need to be quite bright in order for the brain to merge them together to create the illusion of depth. If the image is not bright enough, it becomes much harder for a person to see the 3D image and it will often cause eyestrain and headaches

Another ugly side to perforated screens is moire, where the pixel grid of the projector, and the holes on the screen align, giving a wavy pattern on screen in the image. Solid screens do not have this problem at all, as they do not have any holes, there is nothing for the pixels to align with.

Solid screens allow you to place more seats in the cinema. Since they sit on the back wall and are quite slim there’s room where a projector screen, speakers and its additional rigging would’ve been. This means then that you can get more people into your cinema, thus generating more revenue. To add to this, since your solid screen is brighter, you can run your projector on one bulb, cutting your expenditure on projector lamps by half

Therefore advanced speaker systems :

Traditionally, perforated screens are used to enable the installation of speakers behind the screen, which are placed there so that it sounds and looks to the viewer that words spoken from on screen come from the mouths of the actors. However we can see that the loss of quality visually on screen is not only unacceptable, but it also restricts the use of new projection technology such as 3D, whereas solid screens provide a high-quality bright image that is perfect for 3D that will actually save you money. This means that your speakers need to be brought out from behind the screen and out into the cinema so you can fit a solid screen onto your back wall, and to do that, you need Hypacoustic speakers.

Hypacoustic speakers are smaller, cheaper and arguably the best on the current market. Built on research on how audio affects our physical and mental self, it is the first of its type to implement psycho-acoustic principles into the design of the speaker. After seven years of study using audiences in controlled environments, the Arvus group (makers of Hypacoustic) found that there were subtle responses that weren’t being produced in regular sound systems.

The speakers themselves (8’ bass/mids, mids and tweeters) are completely unique to Hypacoustic. At 300mm across the Hypacoustic speaker is one of the smallest cinema speakers around, fitting easily next to the screen, however it can make the room acoustically sound 30% to 50% bigger. They're cheaper as well, because where you would need 6 - 8 speakers, you only need 3 Hypacoustic speakers, saving money not just on speakers, but as well amplifiers. This is enhanced by the fact that Hypacoustic runs its bass not through subwoofers, but through each speaker, which gives a balanced bass, and means you don't have to spend big on big speakers.
