Sony SRX Projector
JVC D-ILA Projector

An 8K projection system uses either six Sony 4K SRX projectors or six JVC 4K D-ILA projectors. The projectors are mounted in the theater cove and are blended together to create a seamless ultra-high-resolution image.

Multiple Projectors

Most video projectors have lower resolution than a dome requires, so to increase the number of Pixels on the Dome, multiple projectors combine together to create higher resolution. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this technique.

The greatest advantages include increased total brightness on the dome and increased total pixels. The greatest disadvantages include the need to achieve and maintain precise alignment between projectors and the need to have video from multiple projectors overlapping in "blend" regions that join the entire image together. The more projectors in the system the more challenging it is to maintain a unified image, and the more the blend regions around the dome become apparent. E&S has developed tools and procedures to make this alignment as easy as possible, and maintaining this alignment takes only about one hour per week.
