----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
We just came from a performance of Star Wars that was shown at essentially
the first DLP theatre, the Cinemax in Plano, Texas, which happens to be a
few blocks away from the Texas Instruments laboratories that developed the
DLP technology.
Most of the DLP equipment is still owned by TI (because of its enormous
expense), and is leased/loaned to the theatres (that is according to an
acquaintance of mine who works for TI. In fact, there are several movies
available that can take advantage of the DLP technology (Hitchhikers Guide
to the Galaxy was also shot digitally).
I don't know how other theatres are, but the Plano Cinemark experience was
great.. probably because the TI people are always at the theatre tweaking
the equipment (it also serves as a laboratory for TI)
On another note... watched the Greatest Spectacle in Auto Racing
yesterday. Was somewhat shocked that it was not in HD. The Coca Cola 600
(NASCAR) was in HD (and looked great), but Indy was not. Very disappointed
in ABC
