QED Projection chose Christie’s HD18K projectors to display an Indian classic film to audiences gathered in Trafalgar Square.

The 75minute long movie, digitally re-mastered into HD, was projected onto a 50ft x 25ft giant inflatable screen and accompanied by a live performance of a specially written score by the London Symphony Orchestra.

The event was organised by Film London in conjunction with the BFI, the Mayor’s Office, the Barbican UK Film Council and Cambridge Film Festival.

Although the show commenced in dusk conditions at 9pm QED ensured the Square was enveloped in light from the surrounding buildings. The two HD18K projectors were double-stacked and fed from two synchronised Sony J-H3 HD-CAM players.

'The punch of the HD18Ks was vital in view of the high level of ambient light,' said QED director, Paul Wigfield.

The HD18K is a 3-chip DLP 17,500 ANSI lumen projector featuring 10-bit processing in native HD resolution.
