Abstract: Previously-produced motion pictures are enhanced for theatrical exhibition, at double the frame rate at which they were originally produced. New, rendered images are interpolated between each of the images of the original motion picture. These new images are generated by computer software that analyzes the actual horizontal and vertical displacement of each pixel of every image of the original motion picture, so the interpolated images accurately depict the exact image that would have been captured, if the original motion picture had originally been produced at double the actual frame rate of production. This enhancement technique can be used for an entire motion picture, or selectively for certain scenes or sequences. For image components containing complex motion, those components are selected for treatment to correct for such complexity. The entire process can be executed automatically. In the preferred embodiment, the pictures are projected through digital means at 48 frames-per-second.

Abstract translation: 以前制作的电影对于戏剧展览来说是增强的，是原来制作的帧率的两倍。 新的渲染图像在原始动态图像的每个图像之间插值。 这些新图像由计算机软件生成，该软件分析原始动态图像的每个图像的每个像素的实际水平和垂直位移，因此如果原始动态图片原始的，内插图像准确地描绘了将被捕获的精确图像 以实际的生产率提高了一倍。 该增强技术可以用于整个运动图像，或者可以用于某些场景或序列。 对于包含复杂运动的图像组件，选择这些组件进行处理以纠正这种复杂性。 整个过程可以自动执行。 在优选实施例中，以48帧/秒的速率通过数字装置投影图像。

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method and apparatus to insure continuous presentation of digital content to an audience when a locally stored copy of a file containing the digital content suddenly becomes unavailable to a digital projector. In one embodiment of the method, a first computer generates a first command to read a first block of data from a file stored on a first memory device, wherein the first computer system is coupled to a digital projector. The first computer system also generates a second command, which is subsequently transmitted to a storage device external to the computer system. The external storage device includes a hard disk that stores a copy of the file that is stored on the first memory device or vice versa. The external storage device includes a read/write head. In response to the external storage device receiving the second command, the read/write head is moved to a position on the hard disk where the read/write head can read a copy of the first block of data stored on the hard disk.

Abstract: Digital cinema exhibition facilities make use of a show play list (SPL) specifying a time sequence of the events to occur during the presentation of digital cinema content. One or more cues in the show play list trigger certain activities, such as displacing the screen curtain and dimming the house lights. To achieve an aesthetic, showman-like presentation, the cues in the show play undergo re-cueing. For each cue, a determination is made automatically of the prefire interval, that is, the interval by which the cue should be advanced. The execution the cue to trigger a corresponding activity is advanced by the automatically determined prefire interval.
