15 Feature-Length Films Originally Produced for
IMAX® and Other Giant Screen Theaters to Be Offered in Pristine
Digital 4K
NanoTech Entertainment (OTC Pink:NTEK), a pioneer in bringing
the 4K Ultra HD experience to consumers, announced today that it
has entered into an agreement securing the rights to stunning Giant
Screen features. With the agreement, NanoTech’s UltraFlix™ 4K Ultra
HD network will offer 15 films originally produced for IMAX® and
other Giant Screen Theaters.
4K Studios, a NanoTech subsidiary, will use its film proprietary
post-production processing technology to deliver films originally
captured on 70MM film to consumers in streaming digital 4K Ultra HD
over internet connections that are available today. The 70mm format
has roughly 18 thousand lines of resolution, making it ideal for
delivering in 4K Ultra HD digital format. Many of these films have
been scanned in 8K resolution, and then down-converted to a
pristine 4K Ultra HD format. With these new Giant Screen titles,
UltraFlix subscribers will be able to choose from more than 350
hours of sci-fi, action/thriller, comedy, drama and family movies
as well as knock-your-socks-off extreme sports videos, concerts, TV
shows, special events and moving murals in addition to 100 hours of
free content.
Offering high impact, educational and inspirational
entertainment for the entire family, the Giant Screen films that
will be available on UltraFlix by this fall will include:
- The Ultimate Wave Tahiti
- Rescue
- Legends of Flight
- Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag
- Bears
- Van Gogh
- Arabia
- Space Junk
- Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs
- Dolphins
- Coral Reef Adventure
- Alaska: Spirit of the Wild
- Adrenaline Rush: The Science of
Risk
“The demand for 4K content is growing even faster than analysts
originally anticipated, and I’m pleased with how swiftly NanoTech
has secured major 4K content deals that I’m sure consumers will get
excited about,” said Tom Cosgrove of NanoTech’s Content Advisory
Board. “NanoTech’s 4K workflow will allow these Giant Screen
Features to be seen as they were intended in Ultra High Definition
and expand the audience for these beautiful films.”
“We are very excited about UltraFlix being able to deliver the
magical entertainment experience of Giant Screen films to consumer
living rooms in stunning 4K quality,” said Aaron Taylor, NanoTech's
Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “IMAX
Corporation received an Academy Award® for its method of filming
and exhibiting large-format, wide-angle motion pictures and these
Giant Screen films shot primarily on 70mm film are more than ideal
for being delivered in 4K Ultra High Definition. 4K provides the
consumer a deeper, richer, more immersive viewing experience, and
these Giant Screen films can take full advantage of these features.
These films looked crystal clear on IMAX® and other Giant Screens
up to 100 feet wide, so when they are shown on TV screens anywhere
from 30 to 100 inches, they look simply stunning! You really feel
like 'you are there.'”
