Rai: I cannot say that I have seen Samsung’s new cinema technology in meat, but it is very good among the people who have seen it.

The problem is, you cannot watch many movies in the format.

A brief catch-up on Onyx cinema For unfamiliar people with it. It is a cinema screen made of LED module that comes together like the Power Rangers Zords that makes a Magazord.

Being a modular means that many sizes can be made to fit the space they have in theaters, and the quality of the picture should be coherent (unless there is anything with a person or several modules, of course).

A new era for cinema?

The real advantage of Samsung’s onyx cinema is that it supports HDR, and at the level of brightness beyond other options. Onyx cinema can be bright as 300 Nits, while Dolby cinema Manages 108 knots.

Neither the figure seems to be at a time when TV can hit 10,000 knots, but watching a film in a dark room has a different kind of effect with an image that is bright.

The biggest disadvantage is that there are not many films that have been mastered in 300 nits. And as you expect, it curbs Samsung’s ambitions.

Right now, only a few films are available which take advantage of the qualities of onyx cinema.

Disney Pixer’s Inside Out 2 is a film, and onyx cinema arrives in more European countries at the same time, such as Elio, the latest film of Pixer Animation, hits the silver screen; A film that you will be able to watch in theaters from 18 June.

The problem is whether there are many more films in view of Elio? Was there any other films that were before Elio? I do not have facts and figures, but I am going to take a stab and will probably say, otherwise Samsung would have mentioned it.

And Samsung knows that he needs more ‘content’ to signed a partnership deal with a pixa to develop dramatic DCI HDR films. But it is not that there is a pixar film in cinema every week …

Not everyone wants their films in HDR

I think onyx cinema can be very good for animated films, as well as real -world content such as sports and documentaries that will benefit from increased brightness HDR,

But when Samsung seems to be confused about its new technology, they have not really included any quotes or opinions from people outside the Picsa animation. You know … other filmmaker.

I am sure Peter Jackson and James Cameron would like to show their next films and documentaries in this technique, but this does not mean that everyone does or wants.

We know that Christopher Nolan prays on the change of film, but most of the films in theaters and 4K Blue-rays are not bright. While the world of TV has gone mad for brightness, cinema has tapped in darkness.

Films have mastered 1000 Nits (HDR10) and some also reach 4000 Nits peaks, but in fact, their brightness is much less than that.

Many big films of recent years: Openheameer, Barbie; Less than 500 knots have been mastered. Oscar winning cinematographer Roger Dicins is not famous for HDR, while other uses HDR instead of transforms.

You will often hear the complaint that 4K looks very dark, and it is true to the extent because they mastered to be shown in a dark room in a dark room. You have to make the factor that films have been estimated, whether through film or digital means, which was never particularly bright to be given that light to reach an auditorium on the screen.

So while Samsung’s cinema technology looks good. I am not completely convinced. It has capacity, but right now, the capacity is all.
