IMAX Laser Technology, Star Wars Resolution, AMC San Francisco
A demonstration of new IMAX laser projection technology at the AMC in San Francisco revealed that the system uses three separate laser light sources to produce images on screens up to 100 feet wide. It was disclosed that many IMAX films, including "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," are only partially shot with native IMAX cameras, with the remainder of the footage upscaled from lower resolutions.
