DM2593 Display and Projection Technology 6.0 credits

Personal displays. Displays for several persons.

Contact-creating displays. Projectors. Digital displays

Sound systems. E-cinema, quality specifications, distribution models

Cinema techniques. Projection as decoration and as an art ‘installation’.

The course consists of lectures and field trips with lectures. Due to the course content and form, you are recommended to attend as many lectures as possible.

If you are reading other collision courses simultaneously, we suggest you have a contact person among your course colleagues to enable you to interview and write-up the notes taken during lectures and field trips.

The aim of the course is to give you

• knowledge of the most frequent display and projector systems for replay of moving images,
• knowledge of technical functional principles of such systems,
• an awareness of older projector and display systems and older techniques,
• knowledge of sound reproduction systems for moving images,
• basic knowledge of cinema techniques.

to enable you to

• be able to define technical characteristics and formulate conditions for quality,
• be able to choose suitable technical solutions to various systems and purposes,
• be able to make knowledgeable comparisons and estimate characteristics detrimental to quality when choosing a technical solution.

Equivalent to the first two years of the Media Technology Programme at KTH.
