Most cinemas nowadays use digital projection technology-2K digital projectors that provide an image with a resolution of 2048 x 1080 or 2.2 million pixels. However, 4K digital projection doubles those dimensions to 4096 x 2160. This equals 8.8 million pixels, exactly four times the count of 2K projection.

These top of the line projectors guarantee razor-sharp images combined with consistent uniformity, rich contrast and vibrant, accurate colors.
