IMAX cameras are specifically designed to shoot 15 perforations, 70 mm film (15/70) - the world's largest film format. Weighing between 42 and 100 pounds, these cameras are extremely versatile and can be used in virtually any environment. They have been to space, explored the ocean floor, climbed Mt. Everest and traveled the globe.

IMAX projectors are the most powerful in the world. The key lies in the Rolling Loop technology, which advances the film in a wave-like motion at 24 frames per second. During projection, each frame is positioned on fixed registration pins and a vacuum holds the film flat against the rear lens element. When combined with IMAX 15/70 film they project images of immense size, sharpness and clarity.

IMAX Screens and Sound
To complete the effect of the IMAX digital surround sound system, the huge IMAX flat screens and dome screens are perforated with thousands of tiny holes to allow the crystal clear sound to flow through freely.
