California's largest 3D digital cinema multiplex prefers Barco

Barco's DP-2000 projectors have been selected by Cinema West for their new Palladio 16 Cinemas site located in Folsom, California. Six of them are 3D-equipped, using 3D technology from RealD - making the Palladio 16 the largest single-site 3D installation in California, if not the West Coast.

With a current chain of 12 theater locations throughout northern and central California, Cinema West has a long history of innovation and its new Palladio 16 theater is no exception. Each theater in the complex offers sports stadium seating and wall-to-wall screens, with individual capacities ranging from 140 to 300 seats.

Nate Alchesky, General Manager for the Palladio 16 Cinemas, commented on the selection of Barco projectors: "It was the quality and the ease of use. Once we saw the pictures on screen, we realized that this was the best way to go. The picture quality is amazing, and the install couldn't have been simpler. They were almost plug and play."

"We're honored to have been selected by Cinema West for their new installation, which is noteworthy on many levels," explained Terri Westhafer, Director of Business Development for Barco Digital Cinema. "Not only are we part of the largest 3D installation in California, but we also play a part in the company's high regard for ‘green' energy use. This all-digital complex in Folsom is a showplace for customers who are visiting our Sacramento offices. Cinema West's high presentation standards align with our own, and Barco is proud to partner with such an innovator in digital technology."
