Sony SRX-R515DS Dual Solution combines two SRX-R515 projectors, with a luminosity of 30.000 lumens, that allows you to make 2D presentations, on screens up to 19,5 meters to 48 cd/m2, and 3D, on screens up to 23 meters to 15,5 cd/m2.

This week it was held in Las Vegas CinemaCom y Sony has taken the opportunity to present a dual projection solution that allows 4K image quality to be brought to large cinemas. Sony SRX-R515DS combines two SRX-R515 projectors to provide a total brightness of 30 000 lumens.

This dual system from Sony offers reference lighting levels for 2D presentations on screens up to 19,5 metros, for operation at 48 cd/m2 on white screen with gain 1,8, or for 3D presentations on screens up to 23 metros, for operation at 15,5 cd/m2 on silver screen with gain 2,4 (depending on installation conditions).

Viewers are immersed directly in the action thanks to the realism, richness of color and detail offered by 4K. Equipped with an average contrast ratio of 8000:1, The SRX-R515DS guarantees images with rich, intense blacks and radiant brightness.

Native 4K resolution ensures that movies sent to theaters in DCP 4K format are projected with the highest possible image quality. Even 2K images with DCP 2K format, DCP 3D, or alternative HD content are automatically optimized to 4K pixel resolution, now even in 3D mode.

Switching between 2D and 3D presentation is quick and easy, and does not require a change of objectives. Incorporating static 3D filters, included as standard, on the projectors is all you need to modify the system settings in the different projections. Unlike other 'triple flash' solutions, The 3D image obtained with the SRX-R515DS system is fluid, natural and comfortable for the eyes, as with any Sony Digital Cinema projection system.

The SRX-R515 is a DCI-compliant 4K digital cinema projector that uses an array of six high-pressure mercury lamps. (HPM), which means that, in addition to offering spectacular image quality, Cinema operators can enjoy easy maintenance and reduced operating costs.

The HPM multi-lamp array (high pressure mercury) Allows quick and easy lamp cartridge replacement, without the need for special training, wear protective clothing or perform realignment. Besides, reduces the risk of 'dark screens', which occur as a result of lamp failures caused by using conventional xenon sources.

The SRX-R515DS system projectors can be configured for side-by-side operation or aligned vertically, so that they adapt to any projection stand. Its installation is quick and simple, thanks to the intelligent automatic alignment system that ensures precisely calibrated images across the entire screen.
