MasterImage 3D, LLC, a provider of pioneering stereoscopic 3D
systems for theaters, auto-stereoscopic television and handheld
displays, has announced that Montreal-based Guzzo Cinemas has
chosen the company to convert 43 of its screens to stereoscopic 3D
projection. Guzzo expects to have one-third of its circuit
presenting digital 3D this spring.
“MasterImage offers single-use glasses, which to us, is preferable
to cleaning and re-using glasses,” said Vince Guzzo, executive vice
president and CEO of Guzzo Cinemas. “A big benefit of the
MasterImage system is that it can be very easily moved and
redeployed in different theaters along with the projection system
in the weeks after a movie opens."
Founded in 2004, MasterImage was recently acquired and capitalized
by U.S.-based Symphony 3D Holdings and is headquartered in Burbank,
Calif. The company’s auto-stereoscopic (glasses-free) and 3D LCD
technology for mobile and electronic devices are the first
commercial displays of their kind, and the company's 3D camera ASIC
empowers dual camera-equipped devices that enable users to create
and share 3D content. The company is gearing up to deploy millions
of auto-stereoscopic units with multiple manufactures worldwide.
