San Antonio, Texas-based Santikos Theatres selected Barco cinema
projectors for their digital projection conversion of five
additional multiplexes. Santikos chose the full spectrum of Barco
digital projectors for the 62-screen conversion, including the
DP-1200, DP-1500, DP-2000 and Barco's flagship DP-3000.
The digital conversion is now underway at five San Antonio
locations—the Palladium, Mayan 13, Embassy 14, Rialto 14 and
Silverado 16—and will enable 3D presentations.
Scott Freidberg, Barco’s VP of sales, noted, “Santikos was one of
the first exhibitors to test digital presentations and we knew
their selection criteria went beyond basic projector evaluation.
Our goal was to provide this client a superior turnkey package of
system hardware, operational support and world-class service.”
