Cobb Theatres of Birmingham, Alabama, installed Barco
digital-cinema projectors in its first three “CineBistro” theatres
located in the Tampa and Miami, Florida areas. CineBistro combines
premium dining services with VIP moviegoing and reserved seating.
While enjoying fine cuisine and premium wines and cocktails,
customers can view first-run movies in their own luxurious leather
rocking chair.
A CineBistro consists of an intimate lounge and restaurant area in
a boutique setting, surrounded by multiple theatres—each seating
between 80 and100 customers. After dining, the tables are rolled
back and patrons enjoy a movie in what Cobb Theatres describes as a
true “private Hollywood movie screening experience.”
Barco DP-1500 and DP-2000 projectors with Texas Instrument's DLP
Cinema® technology were installed in the first three CineBistro
venues, enabling Cobb Theatres to offer customers both 2D and 3D
films with ease. In addition, for the Hyde Park (Tampa, FL)
CineBistro, a Barco ACS-2048 alternative-content switcher was also
installed. The switcher effectively expands the theatre's display
capabilities beyond movies, with the ability to input and scale
alternative-content formats (such as DVDs or satellite feeds)
directly into the projector. With this addition, the CineBistro
venue can host private corporate events and screening of live
telecasts such as boxing bouts and concerts.
