Dolby Selects 20 Barco 2K Digital Cinema Projectors
Digital cinema pioneer Barco announced today that Dolby Laboratories has selected 20 DP100 2K Digital Cinema Projectors.
Barco’s DP100 2K Digital Cinema Projectors were selected in part due to Barco’s leading reputation as a high-quality reference standard within the industry and its market leadership in postproduction for color grading and Academy screenings for the most discriminating audiences in the motion picture industry.
Barco’s DP100 advanced “Communicator Software” allows easy projector setup and functionality in both 2-D and 3-D applications, as well as sophisticated 2-D and 3-D “macro-control” for easy one-button operation, preferred by leading exhibitors. The Barco 2K Digital Cinema Projectors work seamlessly with Dolby Digital Cinema servers, which provide all the elements for digital movie playback and show management.
“We are pleased to have earned the trust of digital cinema providers like Dolby Laboratories, based on a track record of providing high-quality digital projection systems with advanced features that make implementation easy and reliable for exhibitors,” stated Nico Vernieuwe, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Barco Media and Entertainment.
“Digital cinema is happening now and we are excited to bring technologies to market that significantly improve the moviegoing experience,” said Tim Partridge, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Professional Division, Dolby Laboratories. “Consumers will see with their own eyes how digital cinema brings pristine quality and stunning images to the big screen like never before.”
