Cobb CineBistro venues install Barco d-cinema projectors
Feb 5, 2010
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.

Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon translate their shock-and-awe Bourne stylistics to a stiff, uneven Iraq War actioner that's more anti-invasion wish fulfillment than ideas-driven drama. More »
