China's self-developed film projection system achieves technological upgrade, goes overseas

China's domestic film projection system has achieved technological upgrade and broken the monopoly of foreign companies in this field, not only expanding the domestic market, but also reaching out to the international market.

The country's independently developed HeyLED screen is 10 meters wide and comprises over 110 cabinets and more than 2.3 million LED pixels to form a small unit that emits independently, covering the entire light-emitting surface.

"Its brightness can reach five to 10 times that of traditional projectors. In terms of contrast ratio, regular films typically have a contrast ratio of about 300:1, but the LED screen can achieve 30,000:1 or higher, resulting in pure black in dark areas and exceptionally bright in bright areas. The details in both bright and dark parts of the movie are showed more accurately," said Chen Weijun, general manager of Shenzhen Timewaying Technology Co., Ltd.

So far, HeyLED screens are not only widely used in cinemas across major cities in China, but are also exported to countries such as the United States, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Romania, and others.

There are a total of 18 production companies globally that have received DCI certification for LED movie screens, with 13 of them being Chinese enterprises.

In addition to making continuous breakthroughs in independently developed projection technology, China has recently officially released the first ISO film standard, led by the China Research Institute of Film Science and Technology.

"There is a unified international standard. The technical requirements and test methods for digital cinema stereoscopic projection are the first global industry technical standard led by China. It has won the leading position for domestic film equipment to enter the international market and participate in international competition," said Dong Qiangguo, deputy director of the institute.

A young male panda was filmed playfully biting and wrestling with an older co-habitant at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, showcasing a humorous moment reminiscent of a tired mother managing a mischievous child.

In the footage captured at the Starry Sky Giant Panda Pavilion, panda cub Lun Wu can be seen energetically embracing his elder, a female named Zhao Mei, playfully nipping at her and eventually pushing her to the ground.

Zhao Mei, also called Zhao Xiaomei, was rescued in May 2014 from the wild in Sichuan's Zhaojue County, where she was discovered by the Miyi County Dafengding Protection Bureau.

Lun Wu, born in 2023, is affectionately nicknamed "Little Ao Bai" due to his resemblance to an outrageous historical character during his early days. The naughty cub currently resides with Zhao Mei, who acts as his surrogate mother, at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is a world-renowned institution for the conservation of giant pandas. The base is famous for its work in protecting and breeding giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wild animal species exclusive to China as well as its educational outreach programs and its role as a major tourist attraction.

The video footage was filmed on Sept 13 and was released on the iPanda channel on Oct 8.
