Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV) Dimensional Laser TV and HIVE Platforms: Diane Troyer shares information about
her laser TV patents. Troyer comments on articles, other patents and provides “white paper” excerpts. Page | 2
Troyer shares with lay people and experts about the patent process and how to read claims to
understand the invention and potential infringement. You might want to study Troyer Patent Portfolio:

The Troyer patent claims cover big screen dome TV as well as flat screen best 3D. The Troyer patent
claims cover from the big 80 ft. domes to the suitcase and small PICO projector. Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV)
provides KISS solutions (keep it simple streamline) for planetariums, digital cinema, staging sets, gaming,
simulation, CAVE, immersive training, teaching and learning. Many believe that the Smart Internet TV
(Google TV/ Apple TV/ etc.) will be immersive auto dimensional (3D with no glasses). It has been shown
that the best immersive reality experience is in curved space. Z*TV is the linchpin to the HIVE:
Holographic Immersive Virtual Environments. Gaming, military, medical, industrial, home theater, etc.

Saint Valentine Massacre 2012: The Troyer camera projector patent was issued on Valentine Day, Feb.
14 , 2012: laser apparatus with a projector and camera that produces dimensional (3D) full color
spectrum high contrast images that adjust in real time to any irregular surface (dome, Cinerama,
simulation, immersion). Massacre? Provided is the “disruptive” blueprint for smart internet laser TV.
Certain industry experts acknowledge that the Troyer patents are the solution for the “holy grail” auto
dimensional images. Laser images are needed to create 3D without glasses.

The Metatron Laser Projector R&D was accomplished in the Metatron Inc. labs 1992 – 2003. Industry
leasers provided advice and saw demonstrations. Troyer stated that lasers would be used in digital
cinema because of the broader color spectrum, better contrast (black blacks and white whites) and
inherent polarization allowing real time image adjustment to any surface.

Troyer’s patented process provides a safer laser eye solution. Previous laser projectors were eye
dangerous because laser beams were directed straight out of the lens. Troyer’s patented process
suggests that the laser beam is expanded and directed to a reflective light valve. The spatially modulated
pixels in the expanded laser beam are then reflected off the light valve and directed through the lens,
retaining the inherent laser attributes of coherence, polarization and collimation in the image.

Finally in 2012 the industry recognizes laser projection. Troyer claims call for deeper red (635 nm or
higher) to create full color spectrum. Taught previously was that 610 nm orange red should be used for
brighter images (NTSC color chart). Deep purples and fuchsias and mustards cannot be seen with 610
nm orange/red when mixed with blue and green. Troyer suggests that the additional cyan wave length
(secondary color blue/ green) be mixed with deeper red laser wavelengths to produces better blacks/
whites and less speckle. The MetaZtron name has been changed to Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV). This is to call
attention to the Z depth spatially modulated pixels making possible IF IT IS: infinite focus; instant
transformation; infinite sharpness. Any image feed in real time is automatically transferred into sharp
vivid full color auto dimensional images. Z*TV creates IF IT IS images and is the linchpin and keystone for
the HIVE. The HIVE is now possible because images can be formed in domes and curved space.

Reply to Comment by Dr. Steven L Smith: Why Troyer Patents are Strong; We
Page | 3
discuss “Holographic” images Filed under: Laser Video Projector

This message was sent to my HIVE ZELF Holographic Immersive slide share. It is from Dr. Steven L Smith;
Optical Engineer and 3D Imaging Specialist and a Senior Research Fellow of Modern Holography at De
Montfort University (Boston). Smith has been a purist about using the word “hologram”.
http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy/hive-zelf-holograph-immersive-virtual-laser-meta-ztron-troyer

From Dr. Steven L Smith Diane, I reposted here so that you know who posted this comment, I
cannot comment on your patent issues that seem to be many from this presentation.
Importantly though I want to caution you on using the work ’holographic’. This term is not a
catch all phrase for any ’potentially 3D’ media, but specifically designates a type of 3D image
that is Phasebased in the reconstruction of spatial information through the generation or
playback of fringe gratings that reconstruct an objects wavefront, a subset if you will of the
wider 3D imaging process. your process is not a phase based 3D imaging process. In fact that
very point that you make that your image is in focus everywhere goes to prove that it is not a
3D wavefront that has been created but a 2D image projection. 3D wave fronts focus at the point
of an objects location and diverge again from that point. All other issues that you are making in
this presentation related to your prior art probably will inevitably have to be sorted out in a
court just due to the very long history of laser scanning and projection. best of luck

This is the Troyer reply.
Hi Steven, Thanks for the comments and wishing me luck. May I respond? The first section is about the
Troyer patents. The second section is about the MetaZtron patented process and the label holographic.
You probably have not had a chance to read my patents or claims. Or to compare my patents to the
Kodak laser projector patents or other laser projectors. Having the Canadian patent claims allowed Feb.
28, 2011 establishes a great strength to the Troyer Patent Portfolio. The Canadian patent is based on my
2001 US and is a combination of my divisional claims of 2005 and 2006 patents.

The Canadian patent office is very good with their research counting all previous work including papers,
speeches as well as patents. They found no prior art for my claims: full spectrum color over 635 nm red
and lasers addressed to a reflective light valve (scanning as one of the approaches). The claims broaden
to all RLV including DLP, LCoS or any to be invented. The spatially modulated laser keeps the attributes
of the laser to the screen (polarization, coherence and collimation).

The Troyer patent portfolio and claims are explained at this site
http://www.slideshare.net/fullscreen/metatroy/troyer-patent-portfolio-2012/2

IF IT IS — Innate Focus; Instant Transfer; Infinite Sharpness.
Each laser pixel retains the Z depth factor in the spatially modulated collimated laser beam to the
screen, the screen being any form or volume (could be fog, plasma, Cinerama, dome, etc.).

Brightness: We find that raster scanning is the best approach for brightness, heat mitigation, and
contrast. Also it is the most efficient use of the laser light. Unlike with other methods, almost all the
laser power is used on the screen. The entire laser light is in the expanded laser beam line with
brightness evenly distributed. Raster scanning creates a bright image. Multiple laser expanded lines can
be used within the 60 cycles a second. Full flood or combined expanded laser beams does not work as
well because it is difficult to control the artifacts. The most efficient is when the raster scan of the Page | 4
reading laser corresponds to the raster of the formed writing image, when available.

Laser Scanning: The Troyer patent claims are broad and cover different approaches to delivering laser
light to the reflective light valve. The preferred way is with expanded laser beams into slots that are
directed to the RLV (reflective light valve). Another is expanded beam lines that raster scan in sync with
the reading information when delivered in that method. This is at 60 cycles a second. Multiple laser lines
can be scanned for more brightness. The Canadian patent office has sorted out the “long history of laser
scanning” projection and has granted Troyer patent claims as original art, thus confirming the US
patents as “strong”. Doubt is caused because IMAX is claiming they have the laser projector patents
from Kodak for big screen domes.
http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1222364361001/imax-ceo-on-laser-projection-patents-deal-with-kodak/

It will not take a court battle for the industry to realize that Kodak patents to not cover dome projection.
It is as simple as Kodak of IMAX producing the patents when asked, even though probably members of
the LIPA Laser Projection consortium are hoping their representations are not questioned. IMAX, Kodak,
NEC, Sony, Christies, Dolby experts have all attended demonstrations at the Troyer lab and have
received paper work– white papers long before the LIPA consortium was formed. Troyer and team have
been working on this invention for a long time. The Griffin Group backed the building of the prototype
and the JVC ILA digital projector was used as the base.

Kodak Patent: Soon after the Kodak representative saw the Metatron Laser demonstration at Lexel
Laser in Fremont, California (Silicon Valley), they published a patent in Europe. This is the Kodak patent
closest to Troyer’s approach with expanded laser beam addressed to a spatial light valve. The claims
cover an added optic to get rid of speckle. Troyer’s patent also covers the elimination of speckle in great
detail. The Kodak patent does not include full color images and keeping the beams polarization to the
screen. Another Kodak patent written after the Troyer 2001 patent is for using additional colors with
RGB, but no specific wave lengths are mentioned in the claims. Troyer claims cover fuller spectrum red
and also using near 488 nm. for added cyan (blue – green). The Kodak patent also states that “blue-
green” is the best color to add and that it provides more brightness. The Kodak claims, however, suggest
a different way to modulate the four or more colors, since full spectrum RGB, plus added colors has
already been claimed in the Troyer patents. Canada would not have granted Troyer the claims if they
had found that Kodak had prior art.

Claims: Looking at claims and patents is a job in itself, but you might enjoy reading Troyer’s 2001 patent
on lasers addressed to a reflective light valve. Also with a quick look at the Kodak patents, you will
realize that many are based on a grating light valve approach which reduces the brightness and breaks
the coherence, collimation and polarization in the laser beam.

Thus Kodak used the Troyer patented KISS (keep it simple streamline) approach to design their laser
projector demonstration model. If Kodak had used their grated light valve approach, they would not

4

have been able to present 3D unless they used many extra optics to re-polarize the laser beam. It is a
necessity to keep the polarization and coherence to produce decent 3D. In writing her patent, Troyer
was very aware of the importance of retaining the laser beam’s coherent and polarization for the
automatic adjustment to any irregular screen (Domes, Cinerama, simulation, water screen, etc.) and for
dimensional imaging (3D).
Page | 5
The Troyer patent teaches best method for keeping the natural polarization of the laser beam
throughout the optic train to the lens and out to the screen. The patent claims do not limit how many
laser beams can be used on the light valve. The Troyer published white papers discussed the two
channels with different polarizations in 2001 and 2003. The white papers were provided to those
attending the demonstrations. Troyer feels, however, the best use of the patented process is with the
one channel dimensional approach that can be discussed later.

Previous Art: As stated, the Troyer patent claims stress directing a laser to a reflective light valve and
still keeping the laser attributes in the modulated laser beam image. Before the art was to use an AOM,
which also kept the laser attributes. This was not eye safe in the fact that the laser beam was scanned
directly out of the lens. The Troyer patent expands the laser beam that reflects off a light valve out and
out the lens, which makes a more eye safe method for FDA approval. The claims cover using full colored
images (red 635 nm or over). The art was to use an orange red at that time (610 nm) for more brightness
and to match the NTSC color images. No one made these claims before for the most streamlined and
eye safe method.

HOLOGAPHIC Now to Holographic: Your point is well taken. I was calling the process “auto
dimensional”. But I feel by definition we are doing a new form of holography—or at least it will be
considered so as the art evolves. By taking the infinite focus (IF IT IS) attribute into consideration, we can
create the simile of holographic colored images in real time.

Please see my Z factor power point to understand the depth factor with the spatially modulated laser
beam. MetaZtron holographic Z depth factor.pdf

One Aspect Covered by Troyer Patent Claims: Laser Diode Approach: Small near infra-red modulated
diodes, 3 phase image scan (X Y and Z) captured by camera sensor. This can be one module, several or
many. Different slices of the image can be merged. More than one reflective light valve (RLV) can be
used to capture the laser diode 3D images. The near infrared sensor captures the 3D images in real time
(this is considered the writing phase of the RLV). Bright colored expanded laser beam light is applied to
the reflective light valve (reading stage of the RLV) and the captured 3D image is spatially modulated
into the laser beams. This creates full colored dimensional imaging instead. Many XYZ images or for that
matter different splices can be captured and combined. The images can also be optically combined after
the light valve reading beam captures the 3D parts of the image. We know through tests that the
spatially modulated images then become holographic if you project on the right kind of screen. This can
be plasma or another volume screen. Also with the Z factor the images hoover on a curved simulation,
Cinerama screen or a dome. Specialty designed chips increase the effect. Several MetaZtron projectors
can be used for different image sides in surround space.

Use Infrastructure and COTS: The industry needs a process now that uses the infrastructure that exists.
Today the military, medical, industry need high resolution 4K images for simulation, immersive training,

5

security devices, etc. For this purpose we use COTS—and the infrastructure that is in place. A 4K LCoS or
other HD device (DLP) can be directly addressed. Variations: Use a 4K LCoS that has been provided depth
images that have been real time translated into more depth. Light Blue Optics described a “holographic”
program that is a great description of the Troyer patented process.

Page | 6
Big Dome Screens: Using the LCoS, DLP, OLED or other high resolution device to write the image (sensor
captured). The reflective light valve larger surface provides more space for the wattage power of the
addressed high colored laser power.

Applications: Software — chip (algorithm) can be designed with IF IT IS attributes taking into
consideration the spatially modulated Z depth images. The IF IT IS attributes streamline the classic 2D to
3D chips. Also software can be designed for real time merging of 3D two channel images into one
channel that has infinite sharpness and depth of focus. The images adjust to the volume or curved
screen. The imager is chosen (LCoS, DLP, OLED, or any to be invented). The imager can be used with real
colors or as near infrared. The reading sensor is designed to captures with depth the near infra-red or
color images.

Slice Views: The LCoS or OLED or other best imager displays the different views. There is ongoing
research to get “holographic like” best image. The spatial image views with Z depth can be projected
with the MetaZtron from different angles. Great auto dimensional images are formed that can be seen
from any angle, including the back when creating the surround images. Three MetaZtron projectors can
display curved surround images. This might seem complicated, but is really simple with MZTV ability to
project in curved space. Lasers do not decay or fade in color and brightness. They have straight edges
that are easy to merge.

CAVE/ HIVE: Iowa State University used 24 Sony 4K LCoS arc lamp Sony projectors for their stereo
immersive 10 ft. by 10 ft. by 10 ft. flat walled CAVE (merging colors and brightness and edges difficult
with arc lamps). The CAVE is being researched and assembled in many global Universities, science
centers and labs. At least with the MetaZtron (HIVE) the walls can be curved instead of flat and double
projectors do not have to be used for stereo. The HIVE can be much larger than the CAVE and provide
realistic vivid dimensional images, without glasses. The HIVE is much less costly. Three MetaZtron 4K
projectors can be used instead of 24.

Holodeck Playpen: Smaller Z*Tron Vision projectors can be set up in surround position to create a more
holodeck process for immersive training. We call the HIVE (Holographic immersive virtual environment)
a Holodeck Playpen. Cameras and lens with in focus phase foreground/background are being created.
Maybe with IF IT IS attributes as part of the formula, the camera sensors can be modified to capture
always in focus one channel images to go beyond the two channel process? Several groups are working
on such sensors. Samsung is working on such a lens

Great Application Potential Stimulates Crowd Sourcing: The Z*TV Invention is the linchpin – keystone for
many apps created for the MetaZtron HIVE platforms. Presented is a firm base open architecture
streamlined platform that can evolve. Curved space is offered without any of the complicated software
adjustments. Real time auto dimensional imaging is provided. Designers can work with automatic large
always fields of view, always in focus wherever the person stands. This is a great first step.

6

Real Time: This is a description of a patented base for real time colored holographic images. Maybe this
is not the classic hologram as we know it, but still takes into account the basic holographic principles. It
is suggested since the domes are built and available and closing because of no film content being
provided, that the MetaZtron process of delivering any feed be started – the feed instantly transformed
(IT) to auto dimension. Then all else can follow.
Page | 7
Camera and Projector: Troyer has patent pending on a laser apparatus with a projector and camera that
produces full spectrum color and high contrast dimensional imaging. The camera captures in real time is
and is transformed into vivid film like spatial images. 3D space scanning can capture an object (classic
approach) and then that information transformed by the addressed colored lasers on the reading side. If
the sensor has built in space allocation to capture images and has sliced capture of all sides then
another aspect can be explored. The camera sensors have also evolved according to the Moore’s law.

Images are modulated into spatially modulated Z depth laser pixels. Z*TV acts as an amplifier that
enlarges the images retaining resolution. The process automatically replicates, enhances, and amplifies
any feed. This is not the classic film two laser split wave front hologram, but a different process. So
maybe a new word instead of Holographic should be coined for what we do? Have any suggestions?

You state: “This term is not a catch all phrase for any ’potentially 3D’ media, but specifically designates a
type of 3D image that is Phase based in the reconstruction of spatial information through the
generation or playback of fringe gratings that reconstruct an objects wavefront, a subset if you will of
the wider 3D imaging process. Your process is not a phase based 3D imaging process”.

My Fast Response: Why the MetaZtron Vision Process Could Be “Holographic”
Are you stating that our images are not phase based? Are you stating that our images are not
reconstructed? Yes, this approach removes the “film” process and replaces that process with real time
sensor to spatial images. A sensor camera captures the image and it is transformed to a phase based
reconstructed images in real time.

The Z*Tron Vision process is phase based and is a real time reconstruction with spatially modulated
information. No we do not use the splitting into two lasers, one as a scanner of the object and one for
creating and image of the object, but two lasers can be used for the same purpose.

Z*Tron Vision (MetaZtron) works with a new concept which is keeping the collimation, polarization, and
coherence in each pixel (the inherent laser attributes). This is hard to comprehend for someone who has
not worked with laser modulated images.

Hologram Definition: A three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser
or other coherent light source.

The word “Holographic” it is used in the description of the Peppers Ghost technology. This definitely is
not holographic but is produced by a reflective mirror effect. http://www.musion.co.uk/

Metatroy's Blog Patent attributes, history, plans

F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 2 Metatroy Blog Introduction –patent attributes, history, plans Page | 8

Metatroy is a blog and twitter written by Diane Troyer about her patent portfolio for Laser TV. Troyer’s
last patent was issued on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2012. The claims cover a laser apparatus with a
projector and camera with dimensional vivid full color images. Troyer has invented the best approach to
provide laser full spectrum color, high contrast auto dimensional images (Laser TV). She calls the device
Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV). http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy/troyer-outline-411

Troyer’s patents teach how to create laser images with full color spectrum and high contrast with pure
black and white and no artifacts and with limited speckle. The architecture provides eye safe images by
reflecting expanded laser beams. This also allows mitigation of heat from the lasers. The laser beams are
spatially modulated with a Z depth factor in each pixel to provide auto dimensional images (3D without
glasses) Images have IF IT IS attributes: Infinite Focus, Instant Transformation; Innate Sharpness.

With IF IT IS, the images automatically adjust to curved surfaces with even distribution of laser light
across the screen. There is separation of foreground from background in 2D and 3D images. Others who
are attempting to deliver laser TV (Microvision, Light Blue Optics, Sony, IMAX/ Barco/Kodak etc.) are
following Troyer’s patented formula for great laser images.

The Griffin Group backed the Troyer prototype. Roy Disney was an advocate of the Troyer process,
recognizing the inherent qualities of her patented laser imaging process. Many Disney Imagineering
(see the Captain EO replacement design), many other designers for theme parks including Siegfried
(Siegfried and Roy) and the Jackson Group.

http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy/diane-troyer-ztv-themed-entertainment-gallary2010

Roy Disney was in charge of the reissue of the Disney classics. He discovered how expensive it was to set
up Fantasia and the other Disney 2D legacy film features to be released on an IMAX dome. Roy Disney
helped arrange a demonstration of the Troyer video laser projector on an IMAX dome at the Tech
Museum in San Jose. The viewers jumped up not believing what they saw— a satellite boxing match—
the boxers hovering in space, the red blood spattering. An IMAX operative had the water and power
turned off and locked the theater door so the waiting people from Lucas, Disney and Technicolor could
not view the images.

Troyer held demonstrations in her California Metatron Labs. This is a partial list of company
representatives that attended: Kodak, Sony, Disney, Panavision, Warner, Universal, Paramount, IMAX,
Samsung, JVC, SAIC, Telcordia, Raytheon/ Williams Air Force Base, etc.

Clients were thrilled about the attributes. The Griffith Park Planetarium was waiting for the Metatron for
their refurbish, so they could deliver the ultimate in immersive space travel. There were many orders
but the Zuddites (modern Luddites) were too strong with their attacks. They stopped the delivery of the

8

first 10 projectors that were assembled by stealing them. They took the projectors and stopped the laser
company that was supplying the gas lasers. The ten assembled laser projectors were never recovered.

Today finally the industry is recognizing that laser projection is an answer for best images. Also some
realize, as Roy Disney and others recognized 10 years ago that Troyer’s patents were the answer for the
dome, CAVE, augmented realties, simulation, and immersive training and also best 3D imaging. Troyer Page | 9
calls these platforms the HIVE: Holographic Immersive Virtual Environments.

The Troyer Canadian patent granted Feb, 28, 2011 reinforced that the US patent claims are strong.
Troyer was issued a Valentine patent Feb. 14, 2012. The claims cover a laser apparatus with a projector
and camera that portray dimensional vivid full color images.

The best image dimensional process will change gaming and simulation as we know it. The patent claims
also streamline the Telecine Digital Intermediary process. The claims provide a method for duplicating
high quality scanning of objects and art, etc. Dimensional captured images such as endoscopic and MRI,
do not have to be distorted on flat screens, but can be viewed as they were captured. Any feed such as a
football game or TV show or a 2D legacy movie such as Star Trek can be seen in auto dimensional
Cinerama. Troyer calls this Z Rama.

Troyer and team are making strategic alignments so that it will not be another 10 years of chaos before
the next plateau in imaging is introduced and offered to the waiting audiences. A patent troll approach
could be taken. Several groups are infringing. The Kodak patents do not cover the laser dome
dimensional projector as the IMAX CEO states, The LIPA laser projector consortium made up of Sony,
Barco, Christies, IMAX, NEC, Dolby and others is suggesting the Troyer patented approach as their own.
Intel will be infringing if they sell the Microvision projectors.

Troyer feels that it was a great misfortune when the operators in theme parks, planetariums, dome
museums, science centers, command and control facilities, simulation and other immersive venues have
not had the opportunities to take advantage of the KISS (keep it simple streamlining) real time approach
that would have saved a fortune and delivered clear vivid immersive imaging for the viewers.

Several details are important. The Troyer laser TV process uses the infrastructure that exists now. Troyer
believes that it is impractical to attempt to create auto dimensional (3D without glasses) on flat screens.
3D images work best when there is depth—space such as on a curved screen. The reason this has not
happened before is that projectors/ displays were not capable of providing the IF IT IS attributes.

Internet TV: It is predicted by experts that the Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV) formula will be used. The Z*TV
suitcase is a small projector that creates big screen auto dimensional high end images.

We are hoping for a fast track KISS approach to the missing link for the HIVE— Z*TV. There will be many
apps created for the linchpin keystone Z*TV and HIVE platforms. It will be the great next frontier with a
lot of crowd sourcing. The hungry youth will be mentored by the well trained “learning by hands on”
experts. The HIVE provides the tool kit for the Holodeck Playpen.

Metatroy's Blog St. Valentine’s Patent

February 14, 2012 Page | 10
Best Valentine Ever– New Patent
Tags: auto-dimension, Camera and projector, HIVE, holodeck playpen, laser apparatus, MetaZtron, MZTV
—
Best Valentine’s Gift— ever— also more expensive than most gifts—but a great investment with pretty
much guaranteed return at this point. Patents are expensive for an independent she-wolf, that is not in
a pack at this moment. This patent is the icing on the cake for the Troyer patent portfolio.

Patent Pending: There is also the Telecine/ Digital Intermediate (DI) patent pending. Maybe I should just
publish the claims— which will be as effective as being issued in a patent — maybe in this case—
because they are based on the 2001 patent claims.

Provisional: Also I have a hot provisional— I am so excited about getting to work in the lab on this one.

Metatroy's Blog What Troyer Brings to the Table?

Blog Feb. 22, 2012 What Troyer Brings to the Table? Page | 14

 Troyer patent portfolio and proven laser prototypes.
 Patented designs ready to implement that are KISS and COTS
 KISS: keep it simple streamline; COTS: Off the shelf
 Large Z*Tron Vision (over 20 ft.) model and smaller Z*TV (under 20 ft. to PICO/ Suitcase)
 Team: "Tribe"/ Zeons/ conclave of trained support people

PROCESS
 Mostly dealing with Troyer until the roadmap is structured.
 We need help on the ground for the layout of the smaller models for gaming and home.
 At this Point in the Enterprise: ready to pull in the money after years of targeting the goal.
 More support now available because finally industry understands about the transformation.
 Courage and strength to overcome the Zuddites
 The Zuddites (modern Luddites) instinct has been to trash the transformative HIVE technology.

Report on Troyer Patent Portfolio

Troyer US patent 8113660: Issued Feb. 14, 2012. Laser Apparatus Camera Projector with full spectrum
color dimensional images (3D claims). These claims are based on the 2001 patent, but are more fully
described in the 2012 Valentine patent claims. The reader can study these basic claims to understand
what technology is covered and think about the many possible applications.
http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy/troyer-patent-portfolio-2012 page 23 (Feb. 14 patent claims).

Description of Uses

 Pico- Small footprint imager with sensor and amplification for big bright more eye safe image.
Microvision and other Pico handhelds are not as bright.
 Telecine: Copy film or video to storage (DVD, etc.). Camera sensors capture small pictures formed by
film or video. The Laser camera projector apparatus produces real time full color 2D to 3D images
which are projected onto a small curved screen which provides the depth space needed -- separates
the background from the foreground for the dimensional 2D to 3D effect. This Telecine process
provides color enhancement and also transforms 2D feeds to a more dimensional image in real time.
 Microscopic, Telescopic, Endoscopic: sensor camera captures and in real time amplifies to high
contrast dimensional images—not distorted on a flat screen.
 Medical, Scientific, Instrumental: MRI, etc. Specimens and splices can be directed optically and
camera captured and combined for full dimensional images to be seen in real time.
 Performance: Speaker or actors on stage: Optically captured and amplified on huge screen. This can
also be used in sports, Opera, TED type lectures, etc.

14

 Z*TV Laser Amplification Device for film and digital projectors: Optic Device attaches to the film
projector or classic digital cinema reflective light valve projectors (DLP, LCoS, etc.). The arc lamps are
replaced with LED dim light. The camera sensor captures the images that are transformed with
powerful laser beams to modulated bright full colored dimensional pictures. These captured Z depth
images are projected on a flat big screens or on a Z*Rama screen (dome).

Tool Kits and Applications

Many different cameras can be used including IR cameras. A Kinect is an infrared 3D depth sensor that
captures point cloud data to situate where the performer is located in their environment. The recently
delivered perfected 2.5-D camera has been in the development process for years. At the trade shows
long ago you could see attempts for capturing the movements of the participant in interactive tennis or
golf games. Think about today’s carpenter laser leveling tools and the sophisticated object scanning.

Microsoft made a genius move in packaging their Kinect which is a 2.5-D camera, taking interactive
gaming to a new level. Microsoft like Apple kept an open architecture for apps (applications). Kinect
apps started pouring in—from academic science labs, from university’s and from innovative teens.

Z*TV provides incentive for many apps. Z*TV is the keystone linchpin for the HIVE. STEAM TEAMS will
organize to create Z*TV applications and add many advancements to the HIVE (Holographic Immersive
Virtual Environments). The MetaShell is the world that is formed in the HIVE and Holodeck Playpen.

COTS off the shelf software and hardware are merged to create a small form factor laser optic engine
and Z*Kit. Dimensional curved space can be explored with Z*TV attributes -- real time Z depth images.
This is truly Edutainment--- learning the crafts with the new form of virtual building blocks.

We place A (Art) into STEM to for STEAM TEAMS. Science, technology, engineering, and math are
enhanced and enjoyed. Who knows – the Holodeck might be ready long before Star Trek. Captain Kirk is
born March 22, 2228. As soon as the Z*TV keystone linchpin is available the Zeons will have the catalyst
and incentive and right tools to evolve the holodeck playpen.

Many companies, educators, military, etc. want augmented/ Virtual Reality/ HIVE platform applications.
The Z*Tron Vision camera/ projector is a tool kit for augmented realist immersive training, teaching and
gaming. A combined 2.5-D depth camera and high end capture camera take the Troyer patented
process to interesting transformative realms. The Kinect camera is one of the many tools that can be
used to create new platforms, your imagination the limit. Z*TV is the linchpin keystone to make the KISS
(streamlined) HIVE possible. HIVE venues are described in this document. After Hours Live is a live TV
show that would use the MetaShell sound TV stage. http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy/diane-
troyer-ztv-themed-entertainment-gallary2010

HIVE Platforms

Three dimensional modeling is critical for the HIVE (holographic Immersive Virtual environment)
platforms. The participant, performer, Opera singer, warrior must be located and tracked in their space.
15

Imagine an evolved Karaoke. The performer is camera captured and placed in an environment of their
choice in real time. Maybe it is the special world that the singer has created? Maybe it is just a field of
daffodils? Maybe this is a duet and the other singer becomes a charming avatar character, moving with
the beat of the song. Performers can interact in their holodeck playpen—that has evolved way beyond
todays CAVE. This can be in a club, community center or also with Z*TV in the home.
Page | 16
Go to the MetaZone gaming café and have a more physical experience, interacting in virtual worlds. The
gathered enthusiasts write their own musical and create the worlds and perform with a live audience
who are part of the action. The show is televised and is claimed a great event. Best content is a new
“Star Search” TV. TV shows are funded by Google, Disney, Cuban and others that have set up big $
funds to support local content. Longer shows and series prosper on evolved You Tube type channels.

The Z*Rama—dimensional Cinerama—any 2D or 3D feed – but also a planetarium and TV sound stage
and live performances – the Holodeck Playpen tool kit. Back to the days of Vaudeville when local
communities had Opera houses/ juke joints/ town meeting halls where people Congregate, Collaborate,
Create, Celebrate. The ZELF lab (Zone Enhanced Location Fusion) where the Zeons (those trained in the
craft of Z*Tron Vision) create HIVE platform applications. Companies pay the ZELF Lab and Zeons a great
deal for designing and delivering needed HIVE platforms for human factors, training, mapping,
discovery, medical training, healing, behavior modification MetaShell, etc. High paying jobs are created
with hands on mentor training.

Maybe Internet TV audiences will watch the Holodeck Playpen competition to see who has the best
After Hours Live Show. MetaZtron Vision Themed Entertainment (see the Sprite)

The leased turnkey package MetaShell provides the tools needed for local talent. A local community
builds sustainability from ticket tales, lease of facility, and selling content, etc. The leased turnkey:
MetaSphere (Planetarium, Z*Rama, Performance sound stage, Content production tools). A ZELF lab is
attached with lab equipment including machines that make parts (plastic extruders, etc.).

The Hollywood system has worked great. The model is learning the craft from the master; unions,
mentors, interns. Content is still king today. Because of the internet, social networking and You Tube
and new tool kits, the silos are crumbing and there is a vertical landscape. There will be mini-Hollywood
in local communities with high end jobs that bring the talented back home. Local Zeons form STEAM
TEAMS are like Disney Imagineers. The locals receive a salary, learn the art of the trade and enjoy their
work: camera people, writers, singers, actors, software programmers, graphics, artists, engineers,
inventors, designers, etc. The ZELF lab provides the needed stimulation and tools for the STEM crafts.

The MetaSite is a portal with local cloud server and storage that reaches out into the 25 mile radius
wireless network to the computer receiving device in every home and business -- a continuation for a
laptop for every child. Great Grandma can watch from home the gaming contest from the local
MetaZone (gaming theater). Cameras are set up for remote monitoring and doctor/ nurse visits. Tickets
to the MetaSite planetarium show are expensive so the family watches in the home theater. Charlie is a
Zeon and helped edit the content: NASA dimensional Saturn images and syncing Dr. Gurnett’s shuttle
16

recorded Saturn space sounds. Physics, math, astronomy --The “being in space” series is the best in
STEAM TEAMS. A (art) is the glue to merge science, technology, engineering and math.

The teens would rather be creating the fun interactive horror game, learning the craft, how to use the
tools, expressing themselves, and maybe receiving a better salary than their parents if their show hits
big. The holodeck playpen keeps expanding, stimulated by the back set stage designers. The Zeons are Page | 17
working on a seamless transition with actor and changing world – from reality to dream world. They are
being paid by the Metropolitan Opera engineers to refine the software.

Z*Rama contest: Zombie Horror Gaming: The teens compete to present the best interactive horror
show movie/game. The challenge of the Zombies (secure the territory from danger) help promote local
security and first responder preparedness. Zeons work at their home Z*TV holodeck playpen (smart
laser TV with Z*Kit). The Kinect has inspired more movement and interconnectivity. The MetaShell
world could be for behavior modification, get rid of phobias, time travel. Great content creation jobs for
the STEAM TEAMS. The HIVE promotes hands on work in the lab (engineering) and movement at home,
at school, or at the MetaSite, MetaZone or MetaSphere. Wow is this a new avenue for Edutainment?

A physicist holds court at the regional MetaSphere Planetarium. This immersive Edutainment is way
beyond “TED.” The physicist preforms for the audience from the MetaShell world (dimensional curved
screen backset). The holodeck playpen transforms the power point. The audience in theater or at home
can “leap into the HIVE” and experience evolving fractal worlds -or maybe they travel to Jupiter.

In labs today globally (universities, science centers, companies, communities) many are working to
expand the CAVE, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, immersive training. Companies such as John
Deere, Caterpillar and Rockwell Collins are attempting to create better CAVE worlds.

HIVE realties are more like life. Instead of looking at the shadows on the flat wall pseudo 3D CAVE, it is
time to leap into the HIVE. The HIVE takes the participant light years beyond the CAVE. From human
factors (how to design best John Deere Gator or bulldozer) to best medical emergency training, Z*Tron
Vision is the KISS linchpin keystone that creates dimensional realistic (like eyes see).

The Theme Park Designers attempt to create immersive venues

In this press release, Korean Theme park designs still with flat wall CAVE--- but reaching for the
HIVE. http://www.blooloop.com/PressReleases/-Live-Park-World-s-First-4D-Avatar-Theme-
Park-S/3290 . Korean avatar theme park venues attempt to create HIVE type Installations.

Z*TV produces twice the brightness with vivid full color spectrum dimensional screens.
If the designers of the Korean theme park had used laser Z*TV the screens would be much more vivid
and more immersive (curved). Fact: laser images have twice the color information compared to arc
lamp images (today’s digital cinema). Blue and green is mixed with red over 635 nm (Troyer patent
claim). The Z*TV KISS installations are automatic real time in curved space (costs 10X less). Z*TV has
smooth saturated film like images-not dull video arc lamp images. There are not big squares---like with
LED panels.

Metatroy's Blog Letter To LIPPA

Email to LIPA Consortium and Pete Lude about Troyer Z*Tron Vision
Page | 19
Tags: Laser, LIP, LIPA, Lude, Metatron, Metatroy, Red, Troyer, Z Tron, Z*Tron, ZTV

PETE LUDE Memo – President/CEO of LIPA Consortium (Feb. 2012)
Note: Lude is Chairman at LIPA – Laser Illuminated Projector Association
Lude: President at SMPTE and Senior VP at Sony Electronics

Pete,
Thank you so very much for the conversation about laser projection and my patents. Congratulations on
setting up LIPA laser projector consortium. Thank you for caring about laser projectors and attempting
to push the envelope.

Where and how do you suggest we share with the industry the Meta Z*tron Vision (MZTV) laser
projector process? Also explaining why the Troyer patented process works best, ascertained after much
research and demonstrating prototypes for expert evaluators, many in the studios including your Sony
head of entertainment, Chris Cookson when he was at Warner (2002). What do you as the LIPA
chairman feel is a way to fast track this process and so the industry finally has been delivered the KISS
(keep it simple streamlined) way of presenting the best image (dimensional)? Where did you suggest I
present MZTV —what forum? Are there any other suggestions that you have for introducing Meta
Z*Tron Vision again?

I did not know that IMAX had made a deal with BARCO when I talked to you– or we would have
discussed that further. I did share with you that according to research done by a hired expert in
evaluating the Kodak patents (I was asked to provide support by reading the Kodak patents and claims).
Kodak does not have patents on big screen domes. The patents for laser projectors that produce full
spectrum colored images that adjust automatically to curved space surfaces are the Troyer patents.
As I explained the Kodak IP attorneys warned their representatives during their Kodak laser projector
prototype demonstrations that they should not state that they had patent coverage for their prototype
nor should they suggest they are licensing the model they were demonstrating (prototype design).
Kodak attorneys are quite aware of patent law and lawsuits and licensing. Kodak litigated against Apple
and Rim for infringement on their camera and phone patents. Concerning laser projection, Kodak has a
patent portfolio on a grated light valve method. Grated Light Valves have been found not to be an
effective way of delivering laser light to the screen.

The Troyer patents are on a reflective light valve that is much more efficient. The Troyer 2001 patent
claims liquid crystal light valve. The US 2006 and 2012 patent and the Canadian patent broadened to
reflective light valve, counting DLP, LCoS, MEMS, etc. The Kodak demonstration laser projector used the
Troyer patented approach with reflective light valves. The Kodak demonstration model used a DLP
reflective light valve that is covered by the Troyer patents. This is explained in the Troyer Patent
Portfolio Troyer Patent Portfolio see new patent claims Feb. 14, 2012 Projector Camera full spectrum
dimensional (3D) images

19

In research of statements, literature, press releases, interviews and talking to those who attended the
private demonstrations, Kodak representative followed this mandate. Kodak did not suggest that they
had patents covering their demonstration model, nor did they state they were selling licenses to their
demonstration projector. They said they were selling their optic designs for the laser projector. Yes,
Kodak has patents on certain adjustments to the basic laser projector optic layouts, such as explained in
the Troyer patent description and drawings. Kodak has patents on an optic they add, which they state Page | 20
reduces the speckle in the optic path. It is not known if that optic was part of their optical design in the
demonstration model. That optic patent does not in any way reduce the fact that the basic laser
projector architecture that LIPA consortium is now suggesting to be used by the industry to assemble
laser projectors is the Troyer patented process.

In early 2012 IMAX stated in press releases and interviews that they are finally going to deliver big dome
and flat screen laser images. IMAX states they are licensing the Kodak patents that cover big dome and
flat screen theaters. IMAX CEO evidently is attempting to control the laser projector industry and he also
wants to obtain higher stock prices.

To save great time and expense, some responsible entity should ask the IMAX CEO or Kodak IP
representative what patents IMAX has licensed that cover big dome or flat screens? For that matter,
now that IMAX is partnering with Barco, Barco better have the answers or they are putting themselves
in the path of infringement if they use the KISS approach for best image. Should LIPA non-profit
consortium have this responsibility for the industry? Should we have our representative bring this
situation up with LIPA? It would be wonderful if the industry does not have to go through another ten
years waiting for great 3D images with bright filmic colors.

It can be shown through the long history between IMAX and Troyer that IMAX corporate is very aware
of the Troyer patents and has attended demonstrations of prototypes on domes, etc. It is thus assumed
that the IMAX CEO is very aware of the Troyer patented laser projector. In fact it can be shown through
documented evidence that IMAX corporate with strategic collusion companies has made a calculated
effort to thwart Metatron Inc., Metatron Zone Management and Troyer from delivering the Troyer
patented projectors to clients. It is assumed that IMAX and collusion companies have stopped Troyer in
introducing her patented laser projection technology in order to keep the IMAX stock from crashing.

Imax Press Conference Jan. 2012 is reminiscent of press conference May 2003: The IMAX CEO, James
Cameron and Phillip Anschutz gave a press conference stating that IMAX was ready to deliver and install
video cinema projectors (laser) in IMAX screens (flat screens and domes). The IMAX stock shot up and
the Wasserstein Limited Partners sold their preferred stock for over $800 million. (May 3, 2002)

Is it legal to provide misinformation to stock holders? Was it legal in 2003 for the IMAX CEO to represent
they had digital projectors for flat screens and domes? Is it legal today to state they have patent
coverage for domes, when they know they do not?

Did IMAX corporate represent to Cameron and Anschutz that they had finally gotten control of the
Metatron technology? This was soon after the 10 assembled JVC projectors for waiting clients who
wanted laser projectors were stolen. Among the clients: Famous Players for 8 Canadian large screen
theaters, 40 theaters owned by European sister theater company– Universal Vivendi’s, Raytheon
(Williams Air Force Base—simulation), Griffith Park Planetarium for their refurbish; etc. Lexel Laser had
the 30 lasers assembled for the ten projectors and was taken over for pennies on the dollar.
20

Patents protected Troyer from compete demise when the projectors were stolen on the way to clients.
Troyer will preach the importance of patents and the patent developer getting fair return for their years
of time and expense. Troyer and teams ultimate survival from the Zuddites (modern Luddites) attack on
Troyer is an example of how patents can protect a technology and the inventor.

Respectfully, Page | 21

Metatroy's Blog NAB Rantings and Ravings

April 10 -15, 2012 -- Troyer Journal Notes at NAB:

It seems that my letter to LIPA had a great effect. I ran into David Schnuelle from Dolby in front of the
RED Laser Projector booth. He is now a LIPA board member; He saw the MetaZtron projector at IVC lab
(International Video Convergence) in Burbank in 2002. I asked him if he remembered. He looked at me
shocked, because maybe he did not make the connection – but what other woman has been shouting
laser video projector for years? Yes, he was with Ken Holland, owner of IVC, when Holland stood at our
lab door at IVC screaming at me– “You will not get by with this!” We were getting the laser projector
demonstration set up for Warner group (Chris Cookson a member of the Warner group attending).

The IVC post house was the Warner lab for transferring Warner film to DVD. Ken Holland’s main income
was the color lab, where they pushed digital color for the digital cinema arc lamp content (more film
color). Seeing Metatron, the viewers realized that full spectrum color video (like film) is possible. Digital
cinema can be filmic with good blacks (contrast) –without the need of a color lab enhancement.

Ken Holland was a part of the collusion group who made sure that the Troyer patented projector did not
make it to the clients, including the Griffith Park Planetarium for their refurbish. The demonstration
laser projector disappeared from the IVC lab with the lasers, tools and 40 expensive custom made larger
polarizing cubes ($600 each) coded for red, green, and blue that were to go into the 10 JVC projector
bases being built for clients. IVC was the old Lockheed Skunk Works- so was probably the most secure
building in Burbank so all knew it was an inside job. A Burbank police report was made about the stolen
equipment. Carmel Development CEO, Alan Williams, had offered to pay for the lease at IVC. Carmel
Development paid for a year in advance. Clint Eastwood was working with Warner then. Carmel
Development/Clint Eastwood do not have ownership in technology or patents (documents on request).

NAB: Dave Schnuelle was the LIPA person who was the communicator —whether he wanted to be or
not. He informed me he had read the letter sent to Lude. He told me that they had decided that they are
not infringing because they are flooding the reflective light valve instead of scanning. I informed him my
patent claims cover lasers addressed to the light valve and are not limited to scanning. I told him with
our research we found problems with flooding: Heat, Reduced contrast, lack of artifact control.
22

Parallel Projection: The laser attributes mean that the directed beams can be coherent and collimated.
Ambient light like the sun can be flooded, not directed. Parallel Projection combines streams of laser
beams. Kodak and Barco have patents based on different approaches to address laser light to a
reflective light valve. The parallel laser lines are combined into a flood. That might work if the image was
not constantly static (too hot). It is difficult to provide even light flow without artifacts in the images.
Also with such a flood the contrast is reduced. Page | 23

The reflective light valve does not have much surface for high power laser light for a big screen. We have
found that the laser light can be directed to a front surface, and then redirected to the reflective light
valve.
Barco and Kodak both have leap frog patents for addressing laser light to a Reflective light valve. A leap
frog patent adds a specific addition to a patent’s broader claim that has already been issued. Parallel
projection is a specific way to address lasers to the reflective light valve.

The Troyer patent claims are broad in how the laser is addressed to the light valve. I suggested that the
LIPA group read my claims and patents (Troyer Patent Portfolio). Also I offered to provide the LIPA
members a specific claims chart that compares the Troyer patent claims to the Kodak, IMAX, BARCO,
Sony and Christies laser projector reflective light valve configurations in their prototypes.

I informed Dave Schnuelle that my representatives are upset that LIPA is made up of companies whose
representatives have attended the Z*Tron Vision demonstrations, received white papers. LIPA is stating
that they are delivering a new approach to laser technology and essentially marketing my patented
process. Patents are for the purpose of protecting the inventor who spent the years of R&D and a great
deal of money and discovered the innovation (Canadian patent near $30,000—mainly in years of fees).

I also shared I had just seen the RED laser projector 3D demonstration and the images had given me a
splitting headache. I did not know if I had preprogrammed myself for a headache –but there was an
ache right above my eyes behind my forehead. Maybe it was because I had peered at the images to see
if there was blurring in the fast movement. I had just discovered that the person who set the Red laser
projector was my former engineer. Thus I know he does not have patents for his designed process:
lasers addressed to a reflective light valve (LCoS) with the red 635 nm. or above.

Snhnuelle is in charge of Dolby’s new technologies. They were showing an auto stereo display that they
had developed with Phillips. I wrote my blog the next morning at McDonalds and published it. I figured
it was important to let the LIPA group know I was going to be a spokesperson about this.

CASEY STACK: I had exchanged emails with Casey Stack who was talking about laser compliance at the
LIPA session at NAB. I informed him Kodak, IMAX, Barco and Sony do not have basic patent on the laser
reflective light valve method. Stack’s questions were what LIPA members would want answered –which
is a method to cut through a lot of misinformation. Emails under other cover

April Week of NAB: Will Laser TV be the new Smart TV? Red Projector Review

Troyer Note: RED Laser Demonstration – 3D at NAB—
It seems that the prototypes being shown (Sony, Kodak, Barco) all need specialized screens.

The RED demonstration made me realize how important it is to share our approach to auto dimension.
Z*TV can be viewed on a basic white screen material like used in motion picture theaters. It is best if it is
curved for viewing of the real time dimensional images without glasses. The current infrastructure can
be used to deliver the images. No changes need to be made. The reason this auto dimension no glasses
approach works compared to other attempts is because of the wide viewing angle. The viewer can see
the images from any place in the room. The images can be seen from any angle, any seat in the home
theater or in the crowed large auditorium.

Laser TV is the new kid on the block— for big domes, digital cinema, and Smart/ Internet/ Google Apple
TV. We call these attributes: IF IT IS. Infinite Focus; Instant Transformation, and Innate sharpness – the
long sought Holy Grail: any feed transformed to film like color with auto dimensional images that can be
seen from any place in the room.

NAB 2012: Red Laser Projector & Player

By Scott Wilkinson • Posted: Apr 20, 2012

The most important consumer-related product introduction at NAB was a new projector and source
device from Red Digital Cinema, which is best known for its digital-cinema cameras. As its name implies,
the REDray Laser Projector uses lasers as its illumination source, and the red, green, and blue lasers are
housed in a separate module (the larger box seen directly above the projector in the photo) that
connects to the projector itself via fiber optics. Even more interesting, multiple laser modules can be
ganged together to produce more light for larger screens, and the lasers are rated to last more than
25,000 hours with virtually no change in color or light output.

What type of imager does it use? Red would not say, but I have it on relatively good authority that it’s
LCOS. I did confirm that it’s a dual-imager, polarized-3D engine with 4K resolution, allowing each eye to
see 4K simultaneously using passive-polarized glasses. And it can accept frames rates up to 120fps in 2D
or 60fps for each eye in 3D—in fact, it’s native refresh rate is 360fps per eye.

Also introduced was the REDray Player (seen on top of and next to the laser module in the photo), a
hard-disk-based source device capable of playing 4K 3D material at up to 120fps as well as 7.1 audio
from its four HDMI 1.4 outputs. Content is loaded onto the hard disk via gigabit Ethernet, USB, or SD
card, and more storage can be added via eSATA.

24

I was amazed to learn that Red has developed a new codec called RED code RGB that reduces the
bandwidth required for 4K delivery to around 20 megabits per second—that’s right, 4K at a data rate
lower than Blu-ray! Red claims it is visually indistinguishable from its REDcode Raw codec, which is used
for its camera output at more than 400Mbps, but I’ll reserve judgment on that until I can see a direct
comparison between the two. The player includes two independent codecs—REDcode RGB and H.264—
for backward compatibility. It will also upconvert lower resolutions to 4K. Page | 25

The player will be available as a standalone unit for—get this—around $1000! The modular projector
package will include a version of the player with an HDMI input and additional video processing, and the
cost will depend on how many laser modules you want. Most home theaters will need only one, which is
said to be sufficient for screens up to 12 feet wide. And the cost of such a system? Hold on to your hat—
around $10,000! That’s less than half the price of the Sony VPL-VW1000ES with 4K 3D per eye, and it
includes a 4K 3D player!

Of course, the distribution of such content is still a big question mark. At 20Mbps, a 4K movie encoded
in REDcode RGB can be effectively delivered online or on a thumb drive, removing the last technological
hurdle to 4K distribution. But will the studios actually start releasing such high-res content? Only time
will tell, though Red’s proprietary REDpass DRM (digital rights management) might help persuade them
it’s safe to do so.

The line to see the REDray demo was easily the longest at the show. Produced by Ridley Scott among
others and written and directed by his son Luke Scott, the demo consisted of a short 3D movie entitled
Loom, which was shot on Red Epic cameras at 24fps. It’s a dystopian vision of a totalitarian future
reminiscent of THX 1138, complete with a computerized counselor. But whereas much of THX 1138
looks very bright with lots of light and white walls, many of the scenes in Loom are very dark with low
contrast, making it less than ideal as demo material.

Also, the system was not completely dialed in—we were seeing 2K in each eye, and there was some
obvious ghosting because there had been a last-minute switch to a Stewart 5D screen, which required
some tweaking—so the demo didn’t look as good as it could have. Still, I hope to visit Red in the near
future to learn more about the projector and player, which seem to be game changers in the world of
home and commercial cinema.

From an Italian Technology Paper: Reviews on RED laser

“Beyond the ghosting, the thing that struck me immediately is the native contrast ratio, very, very low.
The black level is just too high. Also higher than a lower-priced DLP projector. “
“All in all there’s the projector. It exists and works, but still need significant improvements, not just for
the stereo separation that will be resolved with better management of the polarization of the laser
beams. The biggest trouble I think about the native contrast ratio that is simply timeless. “
__________________
Problem could be resolved if RED maybe reconsider a 3D system alternative to the polarized passive
but always, at least save on the glasses. I know nothing … These are just personal observations. If the
world is turning its business primarily on technologies LampLess, it is clear that not all stakeholders will
be watching blow of seeing major share of the sector more profitable than our niche. Therefore, it is
assumed that we will see some beautiful, beginning with dall’ Infocommm

Problem of polarization of light in laser systems of RED, Sony technology -- cannot use normal screens
for 3D … there is only one type of laser projection … but here I leave the floor to expert of optic physics!

Problem of single implementation: if you adopt a 3D system with linear polarization or circular – as did
Sony and RED – serves the silver screen regardless of the light source, you cannot escape. Matte screens Page | 26
with 3D active systems can be used, if the arrays are able to work at a sufficient speed (ie, over 144hz):
for example Barco demonstrate Wednesday to CinemaCon a DLP projector 4K laser with XpanD, for
more projecting material HFR (Native least 48fps for each eye).

It seems that regulating the wavelengths of RGB laser is actually quite complicated (source: Omega
Optical, developers of the 3D Panavision). Commento # 85 di: SydneyBlue120d pubblicato il 20 Aprile

It was also announced for the Sony compatibility with Panavision 3D system that works with a white
screen, but I do not think has been very successful (to put it mildly …).

E’ un peccato dover usare la polarizzazione , è come fare un passo in avanti ed uno indietro. It ‘a shame
to have to use the polarization, is like taking a step forward and one step back.

Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV) Troyer (Metatroy) Perspective

Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV) Update Information; Troyer’s Perspective
NAB Review (National Association of Broadcasters) April 16- 20

Diane Troyer has just returned from NAB in Las Vegas. The trip verified that the timing is right now to go
into full gear to introduce Z*Tron Vision again and to create a licensing roadmap.

Troyer has predicted more than 10 years ago the transformation taking place today. Troyer’s patents
cover not only the big dome dimensional images that are the Holy Grail today, but also the best
approach to Smart TV/ Internet TV/ Google TV/ Apple TV/ Microsoft TV/ etc. Also Troyer’s patented
process is great for signage, gaming, simulation, medical, instrumentation: Z*Tron Vision has been called
the linchpin to the HIVE (Holographic Immersive Virtual Environments).

26

Troyer could have gotten her technology out sooner, but she was a mouse playing with elephants until
the timing was right. Today Troyer’s patents are a gold mine if handled properly. Patents are a necessity
in the new global game. Ask Steve Jobs and Goggle and Motorola about patents.

Troyer has patents in US (5) and was issued a patent in Canada that validates her US patents: Feb. 2011.
She has patents in India and Mexico. Troyer’s patent granted Feb. 14, 2012 covers laser apparatus with Page | 27
projector and camera with dimensional (3D) full spectrum colored images that adjust to any surface
(curves) with great blacks and whites (contrast). These are the attributes that are demanded for Smart
TV and Internet TV as well as many other applications (medical, signage, gaming, simulation, etc.).

Today patents have become a strong commodity and are a necessity for a successful company that
wants to deliver laser TV. For instance over $130 million was invested in Light Blue Optics. They stated
they had patents for always in focus “holographic” images that adjust to curved screens. It was then
discovered that they were infringing on the Troyer patents. Their two founders left the company
recently. They are proceeding, but it is difficult to expand, not having patents.

Peter Lude of Sony has started LIPA. This is a laser consortium of Sony, Dolby, IMAX, Kodak, Barco,
Christies, etc. LIPA is stating that in digital cinema lasers will replace arc lamps in large screen reflective
light valve (RLV) projectors –RLV: LCoS, DLP. MEMS, etc. Sony, IMAX/ Kodak/ Barco and Christies are
building laser projectors; all based on the Troyer patent attributes (claims). The Troyer patent drawings
and descriptions are blue prints. These groups are using the classic 3D stereo (two) channel approach.
Thus glasses are needed and flat screens so the stereo images match. Troyer has covered the classic 3D
double polarization approach as well as various other ways to present 3D with lasers in her early white
papers, all based on the Troyer basic laser projector claims.

Past Clients: Troyer and team demonstrated the Metatron proof of concept models and set up the
assembled projectors to be delivered to clients. Many saw the Metatron (name in early 2000) projector
demonstrations. Experts from LIPA (Kodak, Sony, IMAX, Dolby, Disney) had private demonstrations and
received white papers. One of the demonstrations was a boxing match and DVD of Fifth Element on an
IMAX dome demonstration. The vivid images adjusted to the dome, the boxers hovering in space, red
blood flying. The images are instantly transferred to full spectrum colors and there is an automatic
natural separation between the foreground and background providing an instant transformation (IT) of
2D images into vivid depth images in curved space.

The clients waiting for delivery were Famous Players (Canada) that wanted 8 projectors, their European
sister company (49), Air Force/ Raytheon (simulation); Griffith Park Planetarium for their refurbish, and
Universal City Walk for a dome theater. The first ten projectors were assembled for the waiting clients
and were lost on their way to have lasers placed (stolen – not recovered).

Laser Digital Cinema: LIPA has members who are infringing (using Troyer’s patented architecture) have
been alerted that when they start selling or leasing their projectors they need to consider being accused
of infringement. Troyer took the leverage approach rather than the threat of litigation (patent troll)
when she communicated with the LIPA Group: Pete Lude (Sony) and David Schuneulle (Dolby).

The LIPA members are stressing using what they call parallel projection, which is forming a flood by
combining many lines of laser beams. It is represented that Barco is using this method in their

27

Cinemacon April 25, 2012 demonstration (55,000 lumens). The LIPA Consortium members state they are
not infringing using this method of addressing the reflective light valve (Schuneulle).

The Troyer patent description suggests that her preferred method to address laser light to the reflective
light valve (RLV) is with a raster scan or with slots of laser color. Moving expanded laser beams are more
eye safe than flying spot laser beams that go directly out of the lens. Scanning expanded laser beam Page | 28
lines do not produce heat. A static laser flood of combined laser beams is hot. Moving laser expanded
beams produces images that have very high contrast because the laser light does not bleed into the
black. Most important—the “scanning” laser lines eliminate the ghosting in fast moving images. A static
laser flood reduces the contrast considerably by bleeding light into the black and producing ghosting
artifacts and speckle. It is difficult to control the collimation, coherence and have good polarization with
a flood approach. An example is the RED laser 3D demonstration. The laser images were full color and
vivid. But there was ghosting and the contrast could have been much more pronounced.

Troyer’s image tests show that in order to achieve the best high contrast artifact free images with even
distribution of the light on a curved screen, that the best laser address to the reflective light valve is a
raster scan with expanded beam lines. Directing of laser light has been kept broad in the Troyer claims,
but scanning or placing slots of laser light on the reflective light valve is the preferred method. Using
expanded beams in a flood is covered by the Troyer patent claims. The Troyer claims main point is to
create full spectrum color with 635 nm red or over with a reflective light valve. How the lasers are
addressed is not a method to write around the Troyer patents.

In the patent world published white papers count. The Troyer 2001 white paper covers these topics.
Better contrast is achieved with moving laser expanded beams on the light valve (not bleeding into the
blacks), thus creating sharper, vivid, non speckled non artifact images. Troyer published a claim chart –
asked for by the patent trolls. These are the claims that are being infringed: lasers addressed to a
reflective light valve using full spectrum color (635 nm. red of above). Another claim cyan (near 488 nm.)
can be added to make a fuller color spectrum and to reduce speckle. Another claim: The laser beam is
expanded (safer for the eye than a beam). Another claim: laser attributes retained in the modulated
image to the screen: coherence, collimation and polarization (This creates vivid, sharp better 3D
images). Because the inherent quality of the beam is kept that is modulated by a reflective light valve,
the image has the ability to adjust in real time to any irregular surface such as Cinerama or domes.

Z*Tron Vision Auto Dimension: Troyer’s preferred approach to dimensional images is laser and curved
space (dome/ Cinerama/ simulation screens, etc.). The LIPA group and Red have not have stayed with
the classic stereo two channel flat screen method. Troyer teaches that the most effective approach for
dimensional images is to take advantage of the attributes of the laser and create dimensional (3D)
images in curved space. This approach is described in the Diane Troyer power points on slide share. It is
called the Z depth factor: spatially modulating depth into each pixel of the laser beam. Troyer has
demonstrated this method by showing images in curved space. The most pronounced was the boxing
match on an IMAX dome. The boxers hovered in space. Any content including sports, TV shows, Opera
and 2D legacy features—or Internet streaming can be shown in real time on curved screens. The images
are dimensional and can be seen from any seat in the room (wide viewing angle). There is absolutely no
eye strain, because the brain does not have to play readjustment games.

The IF IT IS aspect of the Troyer patented process is to take advantage of Infinite Focus, Instant
Transformation and Innate Sharpness in the image (IF IT IS) and create auto dimensional (3D) images in
28

curved space without glasses. These images are best viewed in curved space (Cinerama, Simulation,
etc.). The CAVE now used in industry and instructions has flat walls. IF IT IS makes possible curved walls
in the HIVE: holographic immersive virtual environments). This power point describes the Z depth factor
in the laser beams. http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy/metaztron-holographic-z-depth-factor
IF IT IS: Any feed is instantly transformed (IT) to full spectrum color that can adjust to any surface
(dome). http://www.slideshare.net/metatroy. The power points and documents share different aspects Page | 29
of the IF IT IS transformational attributes.

Smart TV: The Troyer patents IF IT IS attributes are desired for the next big declared boom: Smart/
Internet TV. We had the Smart phone revolution. Recently we had the tablet. It is known that the next
global market will be the Smart Internet TV. Who will deliver the most progressive? Apple TV? Google
TV? Microsoft TV? Sony? Vizit? Samsung? Or a new comer?

At the NAB convention Troyer explored these areas and had conversations with these groups about the
Z depth factor: NVidia for support with chips and working with chosen partner; Motorola Mobility
(purchased by Google)—(Troyer has NDA with Motorola through Symbol); Microsoft: curved
dimensional display for X Box and Kinect; the digital home and theater; Sony: PlayStation gaming; digital
home, digital cinema; Themed Edutainment; Samsung: many areas.

We are now hiring the right attorney who is adept with licensing in the niche area of the Troyer patents.
Example of Infringement: Microvision/ Intel/ Pioneer: Intel has made a deal to work with the
Microvision (Pico) design for the digital home (Smart/ Internet TV). Microvision is infringing on the
Troyer patents according to the patent trolls who have offered Troyer upfront money and contingency
for suing infringers. Microvision has also made a deal with Pioneer to use their designs for automobiles,
etc. (infinite focused images on windshield). Experts at patent troll litigation state that the stakes have
become much higher with Intel and Pioneer involved. The patent troll finds that it is often necessary to
sue one of the infringers to get attention and show that the inventor is serious. One of Troyer’s patent
attorneys suggests since there is so much interest in the patents to put the patent trolls (want to sue) on
the back burner and hire a good negotiator and/or strong strategic partner. A good example would be
Technicolor Global Licensing in the fact that they are familiar with the Troyer’s niche area.

Metatroy's Blog After NAB

April last week; Article written after NAB about laser projection

Troyer Note: The article below was written the week after NAB. This is the first article that mentions a
former laser projector. (Interesting). Maybe my letter to Pete Lude at LIPA and my talk with David
Schnuelle helped? Bill Mead’s (writer) actually brings up former laser projectors in the early 2000 (when
digital cinema appeared).

I want to make it very clear –the experts that saw our projector images did not find that speckle was a
problem. There might be speckle in a still image, depending on the screen type. The moving video
images did not have a speckle issue. Competition might have started the rumor that we had a speckle
problem. Maybe Kodak and Sony had a problem with their grated light valve approach?

29

The “flood” approach now used by the LIPA Consortium members of course has speckle, low contrast
and ghosting. These negative aspects created by a flood of light are pointed out in the white paper I
wrote in 2010. The patented process for elimination of speckle is explained in my patent description

The patent claims cover this process of why the speckle is eliminated.

Shedding light on lasers: CinemaCon offers expert opinions on technology’s future
April 18, 2012 By Bill Mead, Digital Cinema Editor

Barco demonstrated a laser projector prototype at the Moody Gardens symposium in January.
A must-see panel discussion on laser illumination is being planned for CinemaCon in Las Vegas on
Wednesday morning, April 25. Billed as “Laser Light Technology: The New Frontier in Screen
Brightness,”the panel will be moderated by Jerry Pierce, chairman of the Inter-Society’s Digital Cinema
Forum (ISDCF). AMC’s John McDonald, chairman of the NATO Technology Committee, will participate
along with representatives from the major cinema projector companies. Scheduled to speak from the
projector manufacturers are Pete Lude from Sony, Wim Buyens from Barco, and Michael Esch from
Christie and Jim Roisterer from NEC.

Pierce is uniquely qualified to lead the discussion, having been involved in the initial development of the
DCI specifications and later founding the industry’s ad-hoc fix-it group, the ISDCF, who routinely meet to
address ongoing issues affecting digital presentations.

Pierce said of the upcoming panel discussion, “Laser-illuminated cinema projectors have become this
year’s hot topic, and likely will be discussed for several more years before they are practical for
exhibitors. Laser illumination offers exhibitors the potential of lower ongoing costs, a more
environmentally friendly booth, plus the potential of even brighter and better images, but there are still
challenges to overcome. Our panel will be able to address where each of the major projector companies
is in their laser developments and discuss how they see laser-powered projectors fitting into their
product lineup.”

Indeed, laser illumination could eliminate one of the last remaining holdovers from analog film
projectors—the Xenon bulb, which many consider to be the weak link in current digital projectors.
Xenon bulbs are expensive, they produce lots of heat and wasted energy, and they tend to drift in
brightness over their relatively short life. The laser lamps, on the other hand, should last up to ten times
longer, run cooler and more efficiently, and remain steady in brightness.

A key point all exhibitors need to understand is that the laser light sources being discussed result in
conventional light on the screen. With laser illumination inside the lamp-house, the outputs of three
primary-color lasers are combined to create a normal white light source similar to that produced by
Xenon bulbs. In other words, the laser technology is internal to the projector, with conventional light
exiting the lens, porthole and into the auditorium. There are no laser beams outside the projector, so no
risk of zapping the audience or burning holes in the screen.

Although many exhibitors are just hearing about laser illumination, it’s an idea that has been around
since digital projectors were introduced. Initially, the technical challenges seemed overwhelming; with
