Microspace’s digital cinema efforts are focused on
the secure, reliable and cost-effective delivery of digital
cinema content to theatres. To help accomplish these efforts,
Microspace has partnered with studios, content preparation
companies, and exhibitors to utilize satellite distribution
and its benefits. The proven electronic distribution and
workflow of Microspace’s satellite distribution provides
the
industry with a turn-key solution for content delivery and
minimizes the potential issues and costs associated with
physical
delivery.
Because of the critical nature of digital cinema content,
the Microspace Digital Cinema Delivery system is completely
redundant through the entire distribution chain. Through
the use of two discrete satellite systems with backchannel
connectivity, movies and other digital cinema content arrive
on-time, every-time at Microspace connected theatres.
