The Need:
Cinema and large venue projectors represent an attractive market to companies
interested in lasers as light sources for projection displays. The relatively
high prices of projectors sold into these markets can tolerate the high laser
prices and a few laser-based projectors are sold even at current prices. It is
necessary to understand the current state of these markets plus their future
directions in order to plan a laser strategy.
Report Objective:
The objective of this report is to apply the price, performance and system
level knowledge about RGB lasers developed in the Laser Projection Report to
the special needs of the large venue and digital cinema market segment. The
analysis synthesizes key component and system-level price and performance
information with a business and competitive market evaluation to develop an
understanding of the special value propositions offered by laser-based
projection systems relative to incumbent lamp-based solutions. The analysis is
used to create a total large venue and digital cinema forecast along with
penetration of laser-based systems into the total available market from
2007-2012.
Highlights:
- Descriptions of the key markets within the digital cinema and large venue
industries
- Identification of the key requirements for projectors for large venue and
digital cinema applications
- BOM cost estimates for both laser and lamp-based projectors to serve these
industries
- Forecasts of the total projector unit sales to these industries
- Forecasts for projector sales revenues to the digital cinema and large
venue industries
- Identification of the key players in these markets
