My eyes go to the huge reel of film, but the simulator of the PDA is reflected in the screen of the left-hand column-mounted tablet.

The picture is not very clear because it is not meant to show this emulator, but the terminal was released in 2002Palm m 130He is.

Since there is a limit to the length of film that can fit on a single reel, feature-length films are shown while switching between multiple reels. The rack that holds the sorting rollers is called a platter. The Palm m130 was used to control a QTRU (Quick Spinning Reel Unit) that receives the next spool to be played from the platter and passes the played spools onto the empty platter.

“As a result of the shortage of the actual Palm m130 in the IMAX theater, it appears we decided to use a Palm OS emulator rather than a microcontroller, PC, or Raspberry Pi,” said Tom Barber, who tweeted a photo of the actual Palm m130 that was actually used for the controller.

According to The Verge news site, officials commented, “I think the QTRU will be updated if IMAX 70mm is revived, and until then, you’d better keep riding until the wheels come off.” As a result of digital checking becoming mainstream, it appears that there will be no chance of replacing the QTRU with a new mechanism unless there are many.
