I think that projector is working now. At IMAX Port Vell, Barcelona, I saw
"The Last Buffalo" with a double strip projector. That projector have two
"rolling loop" rings with two lens in a single box. Is suitable to show:

IMAX (Flat screen), OMNIMAX (IMAX-DOME), IMAX HD (48 fps) and IMAX 3D (flat
screen, polarized glasses).

That double decker projector is working on a "dog house" in a Omnimax theater 
with a movable dome screen and a fixed flat screen behind.

I think is possible to project IMAX 3D at 48 fps (IMAX 3D/HD), because the 
projector is prepared with the double rolling loop at 48 fps. 

The 3D work well (a little gosthing) with the flat screen (with somewhat 
curvature). Possibly that theatre can be converted to LCD glasses system, 
but I don't know if it can be turned to IMAX SOLIDO (IMAX 3D DOME).
