European exhibitor Kinepolis Group selected SmartJog’s Digital
Cinema Central Library Servers to use in all of its 23 theatres.
The servers are capable of storing large amounts of content as well
as receiving Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) via satellite and
fiber.
“Kinepolis has been using the SmartJog system for a few years now
to receive advertising content from Médiavision, as well as cinema
trailers which are digitally sent via the SmartJog network to our
cinemas in France,“ notes Bob Claeys, research and development
director for Kinepolis Group. “Since we are actively rolling out
digital equipment in all of our cinemas in France, Belgium and
Spain, it was essential for us to find a solution capable of
scalability in terms of storage and digital delivery. Therefore, we
have opted for the SmartJog ‘all-in-one’ solution of high-end
storage and digital delivery solution. Since it’s already
compatible with the equipment in our cinemas such as our Dolby
servers, the SmartJog Central Library allows us to store content
received in our multiplexes without the need to add multiple
reception and storage equipment.”
By the beginning of 2010, all Kinepolis Group cinemas will be
equipped with the SmartJog 12 or 8-terabyte Central Library
servers.
