<h3>Description</h3>
<p><strong>Auro 3D 11.1, the Next Dimension in Theatrical Sound &#8211; </strong><em>Barco </em>and <em>THX</em> will present the creation of the next generation of 11.1 3D sound systems for cinemas. Following will be a short film explaining the production process by the team at Skywalker Sound to create the 11.1 Auro 3D mix for Lucasfilm Ltds latest film, Red Tails. Red Tails is the world’s first 11.1 soundtrack released to theaters and opens nationwide January 20th.</p>
<p><strong>New Approaches to Film Restoration in an ACES Environment &#8211; </strong><em>Image Systems</em> will discuss The ACES environment and how it offers the potential for improvements in how film material is restored. Its wider gamut can allow more original content to be recaptured, processed and distributed as the original filmmakers intended. Combining ACES with OpenEXR and HDR tools provides even more latitude for uncovering the beauty and original intent of archival footage while simultaneously allowing for a &#8220;future-proof&#8221; Digital Master.</p>
