The Russian film distributor Central Partnership has developed a new cinema format, which is similar to IMAX in its technical characteristics. About it write "Vedomosti".
According to the CEO of the company Vadim Vereshchagin, the new technology combines the most clear and rich image, as well as deep and detailed sound.
It will be possible to show any films in the Cosmax format, but the best quality will be achieved only when showing films originally shot in high resolution and with a certain framing.
To show a film in the Cosmax format, a digital projector and special sound equipment are required.
Cosmax is currently in the process of obtaining a patent. The first film to be shown in this format should be The Challenge by Klim Shipenko, partly filmed to the ISS. It will be released on April 20th.
Recall that the company that owns the IMAX technology left the Russian market on June 1 and forbade showing films in its format.
