Berlin (Germany) - Three German companies yesterday demonstrated what could be considered the ultimate movie experience of the future: If you thought it just doesn't get better than a 1080p high-definition home theater, think again: Cinevision 2006 runs at a stunning 10 megapixel resolution and promises to improve to 16 megapixels down the road: Extra: Image Gallery.

These guys seem a little late to the game as the industry is already gearing up for "Digital Cinema" 4Kx2K and 4Kx4K distribution with projectors (Sony) and playout servers (Thomson Grass Valley) currently landing market share. The local theaters are noted for being very slow to turn over their capital equipment because even popcorn has a price limit.

5Kx1480 or 5Kx2k just isn't going to get anyone excited. Nobody is going to pay a dollar more for 8K let alone 5K.

ARRI film cameras and Kinoton film projectors are the old school and the companies seem to have awakened to the digital distribution reality a bit late. If they can rush an 8k version and make it cheaper + better than the 4k competition, well maybe they can stay in business.

35/70mm film production will continue for decades but the reality is, how many new ARRI cameras and especially Kinoton film projectors need to be manufactured in the next 20 years? These people are in deep deep ... stuff.
