Hi
What kind of equipment do they use in cinemas for projecting the video and reproducing the audio with?
For example, do they use a film reel in front of a projector (that has been printed off of a digital edit using expensive equipment I assume), or do they use 4K digital projectors? If not why not (I know they exist)? Reason I wonder is that seeing as the edit is almost always done digitally (ie. using a computer/computers), then what is the point of using film at all when making a movie? Surely you could film using a RED 4K digital camera or something similar, edit, then export to a digital format (much cheaper than exporting to film isn't it?).
thanks

PS. this is just about curiosity I don't actually require this information for anything!
