Nordic Digital Alliance to digitize Norwegian screens
March 3, 2010
Film & Kino recently announced the result of an open tender process for organizations to carry out the conversion of all of Norway’s cinemas to digital—the world’s first national non-commercial digital-cinema rollout. NDA will have responsibility for installing 76 screens across 56 different cinemas in the West region, from Sokndal in the south to Rindal in the North, and including all five screens of the prestigious Haugesund Kino.
Each screen will be installed with a DCI-compliant system, consisting of a projector, a server and a Theatre Management Software package. All systems are fully ready to work with 3D, satellite and 4K projection, and exhibitors can choose to upgrade their systems to include these options. NDA will begin the installation of screens in the coming months, working with both Hjalmar Wilhelmsen and Arts Alliance Media.
Film & Kino has signed Virtual Print Fee agreements with five Hollywood studios, which will contribute towards the cost of digitization.
