Fun facts
  • This format consisted of 10 projectors projecting on 9x9 meter screens
  • This system premiered at the 1900 Paris World's Expo
  • The projection was successful but the projection room would heat up to the point that on one occasion the operator fainted, making it too dangerous to use
