Samsung Onyx Enhances the Cinematic Experience at Paris’s Pathé Palace, One of the Most Beautiful Cinemas in the World
After undergoing renovations, the Pathé Palace cinema in Paris has reopened with six of the world’s first Samsung Onyx cinema LED displays. The lobby also features the installation of The Wall, which is a Samsung screen with an 8K micro LED display.
Six Samsung Onyx cinema LED screens have been successfully installed in the Pathé Palace theater in Paris, France, according to a statement released by Samsung Electronics. Samsung screens will improve the whole moviegoing experience, along with The Wall, an 8K screen that is placed in the foyer, and Smart Signage placed around the theater.
The Pathé Palace, which underwent a five-year renovation, is a unique venue renowned for both the caliber of its distinctive services and its architecture by Renzo Piano. Pathé Palace is utilizing six Samsung Onyx panels to create a high-end cinematic experience: two 5m wide 2K Onyx screens and four 10m wide 4K Onyx screens, each of which offers viewers a new degree of image quality.
Menno van den Berg, President of Samsung Electronics France, stated, “These six state-of-the-art Samsung Onyx LED screens blend the classic and the modern to give moviegoers a truly unique experience.” They contrast magnificently with the historic theater. “The breathtaking visual quality that these displays offer will fully realize each filmmaker’s vision and engage the audience on a new level.”
The first cinema LED display certified by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) for use in theaters is the Samsung Onyx. The wide, lively color gamut of the LED display ensures constant representation throughout the screen, resulting in extraordinarily vivid color and detail-rich material. The HDR photos they generate have sharp contrasts and blacks because of the self-lit LED Onyx panels. Onyx screens are more than six times brighter than standard film projectors, with brightness up to 300 nits.
When movies completely engross us in their worlds, they are at their most impactful, and technology is essential to that magic. With its brilliant blacks and remarkable clarity, Samsung Onyx screens enhance the cinematic experience by giving each frame an astonishingly lifelike appearance. stated Jacques Durand, Pathé Group’s chief information officer.
The 3D capabilities of the Onyx LED panels, which provide better brightness and constant color amplification for increased realism, also enable Pathé Palace to provide remarkable 3D cinematic experiences. Active 3D glasses provide previously unheard-of clarity for a movie’s subtitle text, visuals, and even small visual details. They also eliminate shadowing and reduce vertigo, which can happen in conventional 3D movie theaters.
Comprehensively Enhancing Pathé’s Operations
Additionally, Samsung erected The Wall (IWC variant) at the Pathé Palace’s main foyer. The Wall, which is 5.4 meters high and 9.6 meters wide, employs the MICRO AI Processor to instantaneously analyze every second of video, upscaling it to 8K resolution and enhancing the picture quality to reduce visual noise. By increasing contrast and brightening highlights, The Wall’s HDR technology maximizes color and highlights. The screen’s MICRO LED technology allows each pixel to be individually controlled, giving the image depth and accuracy.
Along with the Onyx screens and The Wall, Samsung has outfitted the theater with its QMC series of Smart Signage, which uses its more than 1 billion color palette to make the posters come to life and show the movie trailers and theater schedules in the foyer and in front of each theater room. Samsung’s Stretched Display (SH37C model) welcomes moviegoers with a clear, sharp screen in a 16:4.5 ratio at the entrance of each theater. About 200 5K ViewFinity S9 monitors have also just been installed in the Pathé headquarters office, and the boardroom makes use of The Wall’s remarkable size and video capabilities (IWA model).
Additionally, Samsung Electronics had previously outfitted Pathé theaters with its Onyx LED displays at Pathé Bellecour in Lyon and Pathé Beaugrenelle in Paris. The Samsung and Pathé hope to continue inventing together in the future, and this new installation at Pathé Palace marks a new milestone in their cooperation.
