Well the term "interneg" can perhaps be used as in the end it ends up on
film again. Most projectors are projecting film. I had the misfortune of
seeing a film the night before last from when of the first digital
projectors in a movie thether; the one on 68th and Broadway. Not the main
Imax theater but the one on the main floor but around the bend on the left.
And there was no yellow or magenta layers in the images of what I saw and
that included the "trailer". It was a fuzzy cyan experience from the get go.
I hope I don't have to go through it again. I was guessing from what I'd
heard that was the culprit but its mainly a guess.
