Why do movie theatres still use old projectors with film?




Bob


Well we are in the new era so why not digital projectors? I know there are digital ones but not very much ones out yet


Answer
It's merely taking time for the multiplexes to acquire and install digital projectors. The digital projectors in theaters aren't the little briefcase-sized ones used for company presentations or home theaters; they're large machines the size of refrigerators, many of them capable of projecting four times the number of pixels of HDTVs, and they cost tens of thousands of dollars each. They also require an upgrade to the screen; so the total cost of upgrading a single theater is about $70,000.

So to go from a standard that was used by EVERY theater for practically a century and completely convert over to a new one is a process that has been (and is going to) take a lot of time. Of the roughly 36,000 cinema screens in the U.S., about 16,000 have converted to digital as of 2010, with a plan to have 20,000 converted by 2013 as part of a billion-dollar project initiated in 2009.

I am getting a new car and I am considering the Toyota RAV4. I heard a new 2013 model is going to be out.?

Q. Should I wait for a new 2013 model (and if anyone has a release date) or should I go ahead and purchase a 2012 model? Suggestions please.


Answer
According to a lot of sources, there is supposed to be a new redesign for 2013, but no exact release date. Some say it will be shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show and others say it will come as a 2014 model year in 2013. My guess is it will be in dealerships by SPRING 2013! Here are some things I heard and saw through spy photos...
1) No Rear-Mounted Spare Tire
2) Lift Tailgate instead of Swinging Out
3) Nicer Interior
4) Projector Headlights with LED DRLs
5) Better Fuel Economy

Somethings I'm hoping for...
1) Still offer a I4, V6 and hopefully a Hybrid
2) Upscale technology like Blind Spot Monitor

Overall, the new RAV4 should be better than before, but it just depends on what you want. Check these sites for more information...

Trust me, I'm waiting for an AWD RAV4 Hybrid, but we will just have to wait and find out. Good like and hopefully our wait is worth it...
