Film & Video

Built to show motion pictures in the 1930s, The Lensic remains a favorite venue to watch Big Screen Classics or the latest The Met: Live in HD broadcasts.

Film and screenning capabilities include: 35mm film on 20 minute reels with two matched Simplex 35mm film transports, lamp houses with xenon lamps and 1:33 through Cinemascope lenses. The sound is analog optical with a Dolby 5.1 CP65.

We also have the capability to project digital format through our Panasonic PTDW 10,000U HD DLP projector from our projection booth. The projector does not move from the projection booth. 5.1 Digital sound can be Toslink or coaxial digital through our ECI-60 electronic cinema interface.

The screen size is 34’4” X 15’8” with integral manual adjustable masking hard flats. Play back from our lighting booth is DVD and Blu-ray Disc. We have a digital switcher to integrate multiple VGA, BNC, S-Video, component and composite inputs.
