A system that determines a projector's true state in an automatic projection sequence. The system includes a projector in a primary display system, having a lamp for displaying visual information; and a sensor to determine the state of the lamp in the primary display system. Additionally, an interface to a secondary display system is included for sending an operational signal to the secondary display system, wherein the secondary display system operates subject to a predetermined state of the primary display system as determined by the state of the lamp in the primary display system.

The system of the present invention increases the resolution (number of picture elements or pixels) of an image that may be formed from an image sensor without increasing the resolution of the sensor. The system operates upon a color image beam using a set of primary color filters, including at least two filters of the same color, with at least one of the filters being capable of displacing the color image beam by a distance equal to a fraction of the distance between adjacent photosensitive elements which form the image sensor. The color wheel is rotated to sequentially place each filter of the set of primary filters into the color image beam. The array of photosensitive elements forming the image sensor is positioned to receive the colored image beam which passes through each filter. Each photosensitive element produces signals indicative of the intensity of the color image beam components incident thereon. The signals produced by the photosensitive elements of the image sensor are stored for each filter positioned in the path of the color image beam. A composite image signal is formed from the stored signals by combining the signals such that the filter displaced pixels are interleaved with the non-displaced pixels. The resultant image therefore has a greater number of pixels, or higher resolution, than the image sensor.

A method for enabling seamless transitions for a cinema presentation package, wherein the cinema presentation package includes pre-shows, trailers, live events, and main features, the steps include determining the requirements of specific protocols corresponding to the cinema presentation that will affect transitioning between the pre-shows, trailers, live events, and main features. Transition behaviors have to be identified between the pre-shows, trailers, live events, and main features that form the cinema presentation package. Flexibility exists in displaying the cinema presentation package, and yet the pre-shows, trailers, live events, and main features are displayed according to the specific protocols and transition rules associated with the specific protocols.

A frame transfer CCD area image sensor is disclosed having a plurality of spaced transfer channels having resolution cells defined by electrodes. Each resolution cell samples an image scene pixel. Channel stops separate the channels and are arranged to stagger adjacent resolution cells in the channels to improve horizontal resolution.

A film video player for sensing a color negative film image to produce color positive video signals includes a single frame charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor having an integral color filter array for producing color negative video signals when illuminated with a negative color image. The single frame CCD image sensor is flash illuminated with an image from the color negative film during the vertical retrace intervals of the video signals. Signal processing circuitry inverts and color corrects the signals produced by the sensor to produce color positive video signals. To reduce readout clock frequencies, the single frame image sensor is provided with a pair of parallel output registers. Even numbered columns of the array are read out via one of the registers, and odd numbered columns the other. Odd numbered columns are overlayed with green filter stripes and even numbered columns are overlayed with alternate red and blue stripes. The signals from the output register serving the odd numbered columns are demultiplexed by switching back and forth between two identical output amplifiers.

A method for delivering digital cinema concurrently to a retail exhibitor and a remote theater that includes forming a digital cinema right-to-distribute contract between a content owner and a retail exhibitor. In addition, a digital cinema movie rental contract is formed between the retail exhibitor and a remote theater user. Newly released digital cinema content is delivered both to the remote theater and to the retail exhibitor. Display of the newly released digital cinema content occurs at the remote theater as early as the display of the newly released digital cinema content at the retail exhibitor.
