digital projection

Light-based image casting

Digital projection is the display of images or video using digital technology rather than film.

In cinema, digital projectors replaced traditional 35mm film projection, storing movies as data files rather than physical reels.

The term also covers any projection system—classroom presentations, outdoor screenings, art installations—that uses digital rather than analog sources: The museum's digital projection mapped images across the building's facade.
