    "abstract": "High-quality screen picture performance is the ultimate technical goal of digital cinema. Tests have been performed by projecting movies from standard and high-definition (HD) telecine transfers intended for home video and HD broadcast applications. The results of these tests have fallen short of the image quality needed for large screen theatrical projection. This paper reports on a project undertaken to improve image quality by altering the source characteristics through adjustments in the telecine transfer process. The work is based on using a display having identical characteristics to the ultimate theatrical projector to perform the transfers. This has resulted in transfer images with a quality different from the “standard,” using CRT monitors as the transfer target. The image was improved by concentrating on the treatment of the following: gamma, black-and-white crushing and clipping, colorimetry, and digital enhancement.",

Before forming Entertainment Technology Consultants, he was director of technology for Electrohome Ltd., working on high-brightness projectors for high-performance applications. Cowan formed ETC six years ago and has been working on projects aimed at improving the picture quality of electronic projection. He is a pioneer in the process of using the projector as the target display in telecine to achieve a theatrical look in the projected image. Cowan has presented seminars on projected image quality and has written and produced an image quality tutorial, published on CD-ROM.",
