Leading theatre circuit Cinemark entered into an exclusive
agreement with digital-cinema provider Barco. Cinemark is also
partnering with Texas Instruments’ DLP Cinema product group and
media server provider Doremi to employ Barco's upcoming family of
DLP Cinema 4K projectors.
Cinemark plans to deploy digital cinema as part of the DCIP
initiative. More than 3,000 digital projectors are to be installed
in nearly 300 theatre sites throughout the U.S., which include
Cinemark's Century, Cine Arts and Tinseltown brands. The agreement
also includes plans for Cinemark's international locations in Latin
America, which would bring the overall deployment to more than
4,600 screens.
“Cinemark has selected Barco not only for the quality of their
projectors, but because they have the ability to partner with our
team throughout the conversion process from 35mm to digital,” said
Alan Stock, CEO of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.
