Prof. Holman Installs 20th 10.2-channel Audio System
Prof. Tomlinson Holman addresses audience on 10.2-channel audio system installation at the Institut International du Multimedia of the Pôle Universitaire Leonardo de Vinci in Paris in March.
Prof. Tomlinson Holman, an IMSC key investigator and Professor of Film Sound at the School of Cinema-Television, traveled to Paris in April to install a 10.2-channel audio system at the Institut International du Multimedia, a part of the young and dynamic Pôle Universitaire Leonardo de Vinci as the first setup in Europe and 20th around the world.
He pointed out that two large cinemas and one home theater demonstration room have installed the 10.2-channel system in anticipation that films will be made in the format in the future. Prof. Holman and Prof. Chris Kyriakakis made the most recent permanent installation at Inha University in Inchon, Korea, last fall.
Prof. Holman, who received an Academy Award in 2002 for his research and systems integration in improving movie loudspeaker systems, developed the Lucasfilm THX Sound System® during the 15 years he was at Lucasfilm, Ltd.
