INTRODUCTION: METATRON LASER IMAGER
Z*TRON VISION (ZTV)
PRODUCT:
ZTV is the highest-specification projector available today with smooth no-pixel images even on huge screens. ZTV can place digital film-like images on a Cinerama screen or IMAX dome, the image automatically adjusting to the dome in real-time. Finally audiences can enjoy moving NASA space dimensional images in their true beauty. Only one projector is needed for an 80-foot planetarium. Also ZTV projects on flat screens and the small version can be great for the new home Immersive TV.
The small ZTV model provides a long sought solution for the convergence of the TV and computer for the consumer. The small 4000-line resolution ZTV is an answer for medical, microscopic and scientific imaging.
SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES:
Highest resolution available in today’s projectors
Broad color spectrum, with brilliant colors beyond film color capability
High contrast images
No scan lines or artifacts in the image, no matter how large the image
Infinite focus: The image is always in focus on any surface
Over 85% light efficiency: other projectors are not over 60% light efficient.
Can project a DVD or satellite image on an 80 ft dome with no artifacts
There needs to be no manipulation of the feeds for curved screens
A special costly lens is not needed as with other digital projectors
The projector is the missing link that will take the digital imaging world to a new plateau. When this projector is installed in many venues, audiences will demand Immersive dimensional imaging instead of flat screens, as dramatic as when silent film became talkies and black and white became colored TV.
ZTV DIMENSIONAL IMAGING SOLUTION FOR SIMULATION:
The military, homeland security, government and industry are looking for the next solution for simulation training and distant learning.
Because of the infinite sharpness (IS) metadata can automatically be scanned on any surface always in focus, thus providing more realistic world realities. New solutions and platforms based on ZTV can be provided for dome training, battle training rooms, out of window pilot training and the smaller versions for portable field training.
Command and Control (C2) is needed for high-resolution (4000-line), high contrast viewing screens for the war rooms, Homeland, NASA, and civilian airports s. Also mobile C2 units can be used in the field.
TALENTS:

MetaZones: interactive Immersive gaming mini-theaters
MetaShells: Next techno nightclub where performers produce TV shows
MetaSites: Local community clubs which receive MetaShell programming
MetaLight: International advertising screens in traffic areas: shopping center
Theme park installations and Water Screens for outside extravaganzas
FINAL STATEMENT:
The eye sees images by combining resolution, contrast and color. We use saturated laser color that is on the edge of the color spectrum. Thus deep purples and violets and honey mustards are produced that arc lamp projectors and other type projectors and screens cannot provide. We deliver film-like more realistic images.
Movies and TV have been the same for quite some time, delivering on flat screen surfaces. Audiences want something special. We are reconfiguring entertainment on a grander scale. Special processes like dimensional auto stereo images (without glasses), interactivity, and hemispherical screens, create an Immersive space for celebration and enjoyment: a new kind of entertainment that will allow each person to be a participant, whether in a group or at home.
