IMAX is a proprietary system of high-resolution cameras, film formats, film projectors, and theaters known for having very large screens with a tall aspect ratio and steep stadium seating. IMAX is a firm that manufactures high-resolution lenses, film codecs, projectors, and movie theater equipment. Its term frequently alludes to the movie format and the viewing experience. The main distinction between a standard movie theater auditorium and a premium movie theater auditorium is the diameter of the screen and the theater itself. IMAX theaters have a large circular dome and a flat screen. So, you can enjoy the lifelike effects of the movies as if you are actually in the film.
IMAX theaters use a proprietary image enhancement process called DMR (Digital Media Remastering) that goes through every frame of a film to produce the best possible version of a filmmakers vision. Two projectors run simultaneously to provide the perfect image with a balance of warmth and sharpness. IMAX theaters are designed to create the most intense experience, with every element in the theater planned, designed, and positioned with exacting standards.
IMAX theaters are described as either "Classic Design" (purpose-built structures) or "Multiplex Design" (retrofitted auditoriums) . In 2008, IMAX introduced Digital IMAX, a lower-cost system that uses two 2K digital projectors to project on a 1.90:1 aspect ratio screen. This lower-cost option allowed for the conversion of existing multiplex theater auditoriums, helping IMAX to grow from 299 screens worldwide at the end of 2007 to over 1,000 screens by the end of 2015.
