  • Publication number: 20160212467
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is the playback of content in a multi-projection theater equipped with a plurality of projection surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to obtaining content information about main content from screening-related apparatuses, obtaining organization information about the main content from an external server, and generating a single time line by mapping the content information to the organization information. The generated time line is used to determine the playback schedule of sub-content to be played back in auxiliary projection surfaces of a plurality of projection surfaces. The present invention relates to an integration playback apparatus and integration playback method for organically integrating and playing back main content and sub-content in a multi-projection screening environment.

  • Publication number: 20160178361
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining content screening suitabilities in a multi-projection theater including a plurality of projection planes. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of determining content screening suitabilities based on a series of operation equations using content attribute values, such as the horizontal length and vertical length of an output screen when content is played back, and theater attribute values, such as the length and height of the surface of a front or side wall within a theater building. The method may include calculating at least one of a screen attribute value and a theater attribute value, calculating a suitability based on the screen attribute value or the theater attribute value, and determining whether the calculated suitability falls within a predetermined range.
