> theaters will need to upgrade the software on their 3D projectors to handle 48fps, about $10,000

Is that figure per projector or per theater?



As a general rule, if a product in anyway is meant to be used by Hollywood or any kind of video production, it's super expensive. Just go browse around B&H Photo's site for a bit to see what I mean.


I'm sure it's per projector.

I wonder who will pay, though, the exhibitor or the studios? The studios financed the current round of projector upgrades...
