    This article describes Theater Mode and the applications that can take advantage of it.


DISCUSSION

    Theater Mode is built into the iMac (Summer 2000) computer and works with Apple's media playing software: QuickTime Player, iMovie, and Apple DVD Player. It enhances the brightness and contrast of video content that is presented at full screen size. Theater Mode produces a more lifelike image by increasing brightness up to three times and improving color saturation.

    The versions of software that enable Theater Mode on the iMac (Summer 2000) are:

    • QuickTime version 4.1.2 and later
    • Apple DVD Player version 2.2.1 and later
    • iMovie 2.0 and later

    Theater Mode is enabled automatically in these applications. You may disable Theater Mode in the Monitors control panel as shown in Figure 1.
