Savoy 3D - Sri Lanka's first RealD XLS Cinema

Reaching a new milestone in the Sri Lankan film industry, EAP Films and Theaters Pvt Ltd has brought the latest RealD XLS 3D projection system to the recently revamped Savoy Cinema in Wellawatte. RealD XLS is a new 3D projection system that uses the new Sony 4K projector to provide a better and smoother 3D experience. This has given the opportunity to all Sri Lankan moviegoers to watch latest Hollywood 3D blockbusters in a state of the art cinema complex right here in Sri Lanka. This is great news to all movie fans in the country.

RealD is the most widely used stereoscopic 3D projection technology in the world and has several advantages over other systems. RealD uses circularly polarized light to project images onto a silver screen which the viewer sees through circular polarized glasses with oppositely polarized lenses (clockwise and anti clockwise) for each eye. Circular polarization is better than linear polarization because unlike in linear polarization,it does not require the viewer to keep his/her head upright in order to maintain the 3D effect. In circular polarization tilting the head or any other movements do not affect the polarization and allows for a more natural and comfortable viewing experience. The glasses are also lightweight, passive(unlike active shutter glasses) and are easy to use.

The conventional RealD system uses the "triple flash" projection technique in which each left and right eye image is flashed three times in a single frame. This can give rise to subtle ghosting and stuttering during motion. The Sony 4K projector eliminates this problem by projecting both the left and right eye images simultaneously onto the screen. The 4K projector also projects images at a very high resolution(4,096 by 2,160) This gives rise to smooth and natural 3D images. The RealD XLS Cinema System incorporates the 4K projector and is the latest development in 3D projection.

Savoy 3D uses the RealD XLS Cinema System which utilizes the Sony 4K projector and is the first cinema in South East Asia to do so. While providing a 3D movie experience right here in our own country for a reasonable price that would otherwise require going abroad it also has brought pride to all Sri Lankans. Ice Age 4 will be the first movie to be showcased at Savoy 3D and will be screened from the 26th of July onwards. Tickets can be purchased from : http://www.eapmovies.com
