Malco Selects Barco for Entire Circuit

March 15, 2010

Barco, a global leader in digital cinema technology, is pleased to announce an agreement with Malco Theatres to provide Series 2 projectors for all 320 screens in the circuit. Installation of the new projectors will begin this summer.

Barco's six new Series 2 projectors support 2D and 3D projection. In addition to advances in software, diagnostics and patented cooling, all Series 2 projectors include enhanced security features as mandated by the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI).

Mike Thomson, CTO of Malco, praised Barco's software and product design and the brightness of its projectors—noting that he and his Malco team provided Barco's engineers with feedback and suggestions for enhancements that Barco incorporated into Series 2. A pioneer in digital cinema, Malco installed their first Barco digital cinema projector in the early 2000s.

“Malco is one of our long-standing digital cinema customers, and they're among the very first circuits to go digital,” said Joe DeMeo, director of sales for Barco Digital Cinema, NA.

Barco is displaying its latest technology at ShoWest in Las Vegas, in booth #1931 at Bally's Convention Center.
