Just as digital technologies have revolutionized the communications, information processing and television industries, a new digital technology is being developed to provide the motion picture industry with a Digital Cinema solution that offers new capabilities, superior quality and opportunities for new business.

What is Digital Cinema?

Digital Cinema is a system to deliver full-length motion pictures, trailers, advertisements and other audio/visual "cinema-quality" programs to theatres throughout the world using digital technology. The Digital Cinema system delivers motion pictures that have been digitized, compressed and encrypted to theatres using either physical media distribution (such as DVD-ROMs) or electronic transmission methods, such as via satellite multicast methods.

Authorized theatres automatically receive the digitized programs and store them in hard disk storage while still encrypted and compressed. At each showing, the digitized information is retrieved via a local area network from the hard disk storage, then is decrypted, decompressed and displayed using cinema-quality electronic projectors featuring high quality digital sound.
