The Sonics Proportional Point Source Loudspeaker system, specifically designed for IMAX theatres, eliminates variations in volume and sound quality over the theatre seating area. This allows all members of the audience to experience superb sound quality regardless of where they may be seated.
IMAX projectors are the most advanced, highest-precision and most powerful projectors ever built.
The Rolling Loop advances the film horizontally in a smooth, wave-like motion. During projection, each frame is positioned on fixed registration pins and the film is held firmly against the rear element of the lens by a vacuum. As a result, the picture and focus steadiness are far above normal projection standards and provide outstanding image clarity. The IMAX system has its roots in EXPO '67 in Montreal, Canada where multi-screen films were the hit of the fair. EXPO '70 in Osaka, Japan.
