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.”
