JVC display HD images for groundbreaking acting course

JVC is providing a DLA-QX1 projector to screen high definition images of a unique two-week Equity film-acting course named The Actors Cut.
The course is to be led by distinguished actor, Denis Lawson and is co-ordinated by the Scottish Actors Studio. The course will commence on Monday, August 11 to Sunday, August 23 at the Sadler's Wells Theatre.
Twenty professional actors will be given the once in a lifetime opportunity to gain practical experience, rehearse and perform leading film scripts, observed by other actors and industry professionals. The actors will be working with a professional film crew and world-renowned director of photography, Robin Vidgeon (Tomb Raiders, Fly 2, Memphis Belle).
During the course, actors will be filmed in HD. Assessment and critique of performance will be played back with the QX1 projecting on to a 20x30 ft screen in the main theatre at Sadlers Well's Theatre. The QXGA projector from JVC Professional has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and an extended contrast of more than 1000:1 and matches and exceeds the current quality achieved by 35mm film. With an outstanding brightness of 7000 ANSI lumens, the DLA-QX1G projector delivers clear, sharp and film-like HD detail on a large screen.
Situated in the audience will be two JVC colour plasma monitors. These monitors will mirror the images projected by the QX1.
