Microspace Digital Cinema Distribution
Hits
the 50 Movie Mark!
The
growth
of
the Microspace
digital
cinema
delivery
network
has
reached
a milestone
ensuring
the
most
cost
effective
method
of
digital
cinema
delivery
over
competing
satellite
networks
and
alternative
forms
of
delivery
such
as
hard
drives.
Microspace
has
now distributed
50
motion pictures
to
date from
eight
major
motion
picture
studios,
including
the
first 3-D movie
and
the first
4K
movie via satellite,
to
theater circuits
within
the
United States,
Mexico
and
Canada. Microspace
also
delivers
alternative
content
such
as
sporting
events
which
included
a
college
football
game
delivered
live
in
High
Definition
to
multiple
theater
locations
and
the
delivery
of
a
sporting
event
to
over
150
Carmike
theatres. “Microspace
continues
to exceed
its forecasts
of signed
and installed
theaters
by meeting
the security
and
reliability
requirements
of our
studio
and exhibitor
customers," said Curt Tilly, Manager of Digital Cinema
Distribution at Microspace. "Our growth has extended
a network
that
achieves the most cost effective digital cinema delivery
method
available. This is underscored by the partnerships
we currently
hold with eight major motion picture studios.”
Much
of
the company's continued success is a result of Hollywood’s
demand
for an effective and cost efficient method of delivery to the growing number
of digital screens across North
America.
Satellite distribution offers studios, theater exhibitors and alternative
content providers a less labor-intensive
and
secure method of content delivery. Delivering motion pictures
via satellite
is a
secure,
scalable,
hands-free
approach
that
includes
full
tracking
and verification
of the
delivery
through
the entire
process
and reduces
the overall
workload
of the
theater
staff.
The Microspace
digital
cinema delivery network is built by expanding
on
a dependable, successful 20 year satellite broadcasting
business.
Microspace has played an integral part in helping the industry address
the concerns and workflow of electronic
distribution
via satellite for the past five years. The Microspace digital cinema
delivery network is the only open technology platform that encourages
further connectivity and integration with other key suppliers
serving
the
motion picture and theater exhibitor community.
