Abstract: A system for distributing digital cinema content (DCC) to cinemas integrates with content creators, distributors and cinemas. A backbone that includes a scheduling system operates to automatically transfer DCC to individual cinema IT systems. The scheduler ensures availability of DCC at a cinema IT system in advance of or at a show time. The system may automatically generate key delivery messages. The cinema IT systems may include cinema servers that include media players dedicated to specific screens. The cinema servers may be operated as federated server groups. DCC may be stored on any of the cinema servers and played back on any screens in a cinema.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a projection assembly comprising at least a first screen (14) and a second screen (10). The first screen (14) is at an angle with the second screen (10). The first screen (14) is adapted to reflect light projected onto it predominantly or exclusively in one or more angular ranges that do not intersect with the second screen (10). The invention also pertains to a method for projecting images with such a projection assembly, comprising projecting a first image with the first projector (16B) on the first screen (14), and projecting a second image with the second projector (16A) on the second screen (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for compensating ageing effects of pixel outputs displaying an image on a display device. The method involves displaying a first image on an active display area (6) on the display device (1) having a first plurality of pixels; displaying a second image on a sub-area (7) of the display device (1) and having a second plurality of pixels, the active display area (6) being larger than the sub-area (7) and the second image being smaller than the first image and having fewer pixels than the active display area (6); driving the pixels of the sub-area (7) with pixel values that are representative or indicative for the pixels in the activity display area (6); making optical measurements on light emitted from the sub-area (7) and generating optical measurement signals (11) therefrom, and; controlling the display of the image on the active display area (6) in accordance with the optical measurement signals (11) of the sub-area (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing an image, adapted for a display comprising a plurality of pixels, comprising the steps of setting, in dependence upon the image content, a portion out of the plurality of pixels to black for obtaining off-pixels thereby reducing the resolution of the display to a predefined value; and sequentially switching the position of the off-pixels over the plurality of pixels comprised by the display. In this way, a possibility for reducing or compensating for image retention in displays is provided.
