GDC integrates RealD 'ghostbuster' technology into d-cinema servers

GDC Technology and RealD announced the completion of integration of RealD’s 3D EQ (aka “ghostbuster”) technology in GDC’s line of SA-2100 digital-cinema servers.

RealD’s 3D EQ technology augments the separation of the left and right-eye images. In the past, this process was incorporated into the master print by the studios; GDC’s new server incorporates the technology into the digital-cinema server and therefore abridges the distribution process.

GDC licensed RealD’s 3D EQ in January 2009 and completed the integration of the proprietary 3D technology into GDC’s SA-2100 digital-cinema server in less than three months. GDC’s servers were also validated by RealD’s laboratory to ensure that a single 3D DCP format can be used without making a different DCP for RealD’s 3D-equipped cinemas.

GDC has decided that all existing GDC SA-2100 servers will get RealD’s 3D EQ feature in the next software upgrade, and servers shipped from May 1, 2009 will have this feature built in.
