Abstract
A projection arrangement for projecting an image onto a projection surface, said arrangement comprising a light source ( ), a film stage ( ), arranged following said light source, for holding a positive image recorded on a carrier medium, and projection optics ( ) for projecting a illuminated positive image, is provided with a control unit ( ), a light modulator ( ) controllable by said control unit in order to generate an additional image on the basis of predetermined image data, said light modulator being followed by an optical device ( ) for projecting the additional image onto the projection surface ( ), and with a beam splitter ( ) arranged between the light source ( ) and the film stage ( ) so as to split the light from the light source ( ) into a first partial beam directed to the film stage ( ) in order to illuminate the positive image and into a second partial beam which may be directed to the light modulator ( ). Thus, a projection arrangement is provided which allows to project additional images, such as subtitles, in addition to the illuminated positive image.
