Eventually digital projectors should be able to represent any visible color, I should think. Any visible color, as in the entire gamut of the human eye? We're a long way off from that, I'm afraid. Projectors are still making images by shining red, green, and blue light up there, so that's a major constraint. But you'd think they'd be able show everything we can see on a computer monitor at least. Maybe they can. Ironically, part of the forthcoming IIC/ACES standard is the "Reference Rendering Transform", which is like a standardized film look. And like other film looks, you can't get fully-saturated colors. Similarly, I worked on the most recent "A Christmas Carol" which is a completely digital film (including projection), and yet we still created a film look for it. Somebody thinks that people still like that film look. But I assume with digital projection you can opt out if you want. Brendan |
