<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#333399">Two Years In The
Making! After nearly two years of exchanging phone calls and e-mails
with the IMAX Corporation, your SMPTE-New England Section is extremely
pleased to bring you this special Saturday morning technical
presentation & film screening at the new Jordan's Furniture
Comcast IMAX 3-D Theater in Reading, MA.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-2" color="#000080"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#333399">Everyone is Welcome
- You do not need to be an SMPTE member to attend.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-2" color="#000080"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#333399">Scheduled to present
is IMAX Corporation's Senior Vice President of Technology, Mr. Brian
Bonnick, PE.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-2" color="#000080"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080">Brian will begin by
taking us back in time to how IMAX began more than 30 years ago and
finish with their most recent achievements. All the way from the
first IMAX® projector made with the help of a miniature bicycle
chain, to a later prototype built by Ron Jones and made to work at 18
frames/sec using a vacuum cleaner and an orange juice can, to IMAX's
current technical achievements and introduction of IMAX® MPX -
a new, lower cost projection system that can easily be retrofitted
into an existing multiplex setting.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-2" color="#000080"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080">You'll also learn
about the revolutionary IMAX DMR® digital remastering software,
which allows movie-goers to experience the larger-than-life adventure,
drama and emotion of their favorite Hollywood films in IMAX theatres.
To date, these films include<i> Apollo 13, Star Wars:</i> Episode
II<i> Attack of the Clones, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix
Revolutions, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</i> and<i>
Spider-Man 2</i>.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-2" color="#000080"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080">In November 2004,
IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures made cinematic history with the release
of the world's first Hollywood event film converted into IMAX® 3D
-<i> The Polar Express:</i> An IMAX 3D Experience. Shattering
box office records worldwide,<i> The Polar Express:</i> An IMAX 3D
Experience became the fastest and highest grossing digitally
re-mastered IMAX release. Finally, you'll learn about our
digital sound systems and how IMAX 3D works.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080">Join us after the
