DMR for IMAX-3D

Digital Media Remastering can be translated as digital remastering technology. In order to promote its theater system, IMAX has launched a DMR technology that can be used in the release of more commercial films. First, the production company gives IMAX a 35mm negative copy of the film, and then IMAX scans each frame at the highest resolution, sharpens and reduces noise on each frame, and finally prints it on 70mm negatives.

In the fall of 2002, IMAX and Universal Pictures jointly launched the IMAX version of Apollo 13 (1995), which was the first time that IMAX's exclusive DMR remastering technology was used to convert a traditional movie into the IMAX format. Some other films that have been released, such as Star Wars, have also been processed by DMR technology and put on IMAX. Due to technical constraints, the length of videos processed by early DMR was no more than 2 hours. In 2003, The Matrix 2: Reloaded broke through this limitation and became an important milestone in the development of IMAX. In late 2003, the sequel The Matrix: Revolutions became the first film to be released simultaneously in IMAX and traditional theaters.

Viewers generally have a positive attitude toward IMAX films that are enlarged and produced using DMR technology. The visual and auditory enjoyment brought by these films far exceeds that of traditional 35mm films. A typical example is an audience member who watched "Apollo 13" who commented: "The huge screen, explosive sound effects, and James Horner's soul-stirring original music can only be felt in IMAX."

Both DMR and digital IMAX projectors are seen as a commercial compromise for IMAX rather than a radical technological innovation. DMR upscaling technology is not comparable to producing movies directly into the 70mm 15-hole IMAX format. Most DMR movies are in 16:9 or 2.35:1 widescreen format, so they cannot fill the entire IMAX screen when shown, and can only fill to about one-half ratio. The IMAX logo at the beginning of an IMAX movie fills the screen of the short, while the actual film is in widescreen. In some movies, such as "Transformers 2", although the entire movie is in wide screen, when certain clips shot on film are played, the screen will stretch to fill the screen. The resolution of DMR cannot be compared with that of 70mm film, especially since many films use digital cameras and post-production effects, so even DMR can only achieve 2K resolution. For example, the film version of Avatar only has a native resolution of 2K. People who are obsessed with the big screen will think that the decline of Cinerama technology occurred roughly at the same time as the original processing method was replaced by new, simpler and lower-cost methods, and DMR is just an important symbol.

IMAX originally only put the "IMAX Experience" logo on movies shot in real 70mm. It may use this slogan on movies that can be enlarged with DMR technology.
