India’s Bollywood Opts for Low-Cost Digital Cinema

Makarand writes “While Hollywood is yet to figure out who will pay for the costly $100,000 digital projectors required for the digital roll-out of films, the Mumbai (India) based film Industry (called Bollywood) is settling for cheaper projectors of a bit lesser quality available at one-third the price, to proceed with their digital roll-out. Industry officials call this cheaper version of the digital cinema the ‘E-Cinema’, in contrast to the ‘D-Cinema’ which Hollywood is waiting for.
