Nordic Digital Alliance (NDA), the joint venture run by Arts
Alliance Media and a Norwegian consortium of businesses, was
awarded the contract to roll out digital cinema across the large
West region of Norway, as part of the nationwide rollout scheme run
by Film & Kino, the industry organization for Norwegian
cinema.
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.
