IMAX | from IMAX to Kerala; How is it different from normal theater?

The IMAX theater is also coming to Kerala. Kerala’s first IMAX theater opens at Lulu Mall in Thiruvananthapuram. IMAX is a word that many movie lovers have heard. Although many people are familiar with the name that appears on the screen before the movie starts, how many people know what IMAX is. We understand in detail.

IMAX is a company that manufactures high resolution lenses, film codecs, projectors and cinema equipment. It is also a technology that offers a unique cinematic format and viewing experience. What is the main difference between a normal cinema and a premium cinema? This is essentially the difference between screen and theater. You can see the difference as soon as you walk into an IMAX cinema.

Speakers are often found behind IMAX screens. See here for stadium-style seats. Imax offers maximum quality and clearer images and sounds.

IMAX theater

This theatrical technology is not that new. The IMAX Theater was started in 1971. It was not so popular in the first days. In 2000, IMAX started gaining more popularity. Initially, these theaters were used to project movies on wildlife. Many graphic films have also been screened on these screens. The estimates indicate that there are now about 1500 IMAX cinemas in eighty countries.

The scenes can be enjoyed in IMAX cinemas so that it seems that it is happening in front of the public. For this reason, linear polarization technologies and better cameras should be used.

Another feature of IMAX cinemas is that you can watch movies from a wide angle. A perspective image can be seen from all angles. IMAX cinemas have special sound designers and sound system settings for clear and perfect sound.

Difference between IMAX screen and normal screen

It’s like asking what’s the difference between water and fresh water. The difference between the two can be said on the basis of its quality. Watch the movie on the IMAX screen with the highest quality and best sound technology on a big screen. If the movie is shot using an IMAX camera, you can enjoy the experience of filling the entire screen.

A normal screen with a low pixel resolution can be seen in ordinary movie theaters. Conversely, the IMAX screen is wider. It is ten times larger than a normal cinema screen.

IMAX works with three projection formats and the 70mm film system. Normal theaters have only one film format. They work using a 35mm film system on a rectangular screen.

Difference between standard sound and IMAX sound

The IMAX sound is powered by audio systems and speakers designed precisely. That’s why you can hear a clear and clear audio, no matter how far you are from the speakers.

Using 12-channel audio systems that provide basic sounds or 6-channel audio systems that deliver large-scale sounds, the sound in an IMAX theater can be very immersive.

Although many sound systems are used in standard theaters, most standard theaters use a 5.1 or similar type of sound system.

The difference between standard 3D and IMAX 3D.

In normal 3D you may not be able to distinguish small objects. But in IMAX 3D they are clearly distinguishable. IMAX 3D combines the images of two different projectors to offer high visual quality. By understanding the characteristics of the human eye, IMAX adjusts the performance of the projector.

IMAX rivals

With the advent of digital cinemas, there have been many competitors who have tried to replicate the theatrical experience offered by IMAX. We will talk about it now.

IMAX and Dolby Cinema

The theater complex itself houses a Dolby Cinema Theater and a Digital IMAX Theater. Both offer large-screen viewing experiences. But the IMAX has a better display and more seats. Dolby is a technology known for providing sharper, clearer images and bass-rich sounds. Today, Dolby sound systems are used in theaters and homes. What Dolby does is experience sounds to their fullest. The sound is transmitted through 64 channels.

IMAX and RPX

RPX is similar to Dolby. RPX cinemas also have a huge screen and plenty of seating. RPX offers better audio and visual quality than average projection. But RPX projectors are shorter than IMAX screens. RPX emphasizes width and height.

IMAX and D-BOX

D-Box is more about the seats than the screen. The D-box seats move along with the movies, offering a 4D experience. If you want to enjoy a special cinema experience sitting on the seats, you can definitely opt for D-Box cinemas.

Today many people want a cinematographic experience that gives priority to both graphics and sounds. These have become indispensable elements for theaters owners. Today most people watch 3D movies in multiplex and large theaters. Many theaters of theaters are trying to update their business to the most recent technology.
