Giant Screen Cinema

Ever since digital cinema has become a reality for giant-screen theaters, D3D has become an industry leader through the design and integration of digital theater systems in over thirty former IMAX® giant-screens and multiple new build giant-screen venues. D3D systems prove reliable in performance and help expand the utility of the theater with far reaching alternative content packages. Using a holistic and client centric approach, D3D delivers state-of-the-art system designs that are both operator and CFO friendly while providing an unforgettable audience experience.

Cinefolio

Immersive cinema has long served as an educational tool to augment exhibits and mission programming. While fulldome and Giant Screen theaters have offered exciting solutions to large institutions for decades, with Cinefolio, the power of immersive cinema is now an economical solution for museums, zoos, aquariums, and attractions of all stripes. Professional 3D cinema technology and a rich library of content are now accessible to venues of all sizes and budgets for an all-inclusive low monthly fee.

CineDome

D3D’s first-to-market digital laser solution for Giant Dome theaters, replaces existing 15/70 film projection systems while providing a superior audience experience in every way. Now in its second generation, the sophisticated digital laser system features Christie’s state-of-the-art projection and playback systems – offering ultra-high 6K resolution and supreme contrast ratios. The dazzling laser projectors are capable of delivering up to 150,000 lumens on the dome with a brilliant expanded dynamic range and color gamut, along with meticulous focus and light uniformity far beyond the capabilities of film-based and xenon-illuminated projection systems.

“We compared all the potential solutions on the market and, simply put, we found that D3D’s Laser CineDome provides our guests the highest quality dome theater system that is easily upgradable and showcases the pinnacle of what projection technology can offer now and in the future.  It’s so gratifying for me that Mobile, Alabama offers the best giant dome cinema experience in the world.”
