Doremi Cinema has signed an agreement with XDC for the supply of its digital cinema products and services. Under the agreement Doremi Cinema is to provide support for XDC cinema customers equipped with Doremi Cinema servers.
The agreement follows many years of close cooperation between the companies during which Doremi Cinema has supplied over 600 digital cinema servers, comprised of DCP-2000 and the IMB/ShowVault 2K/4K server models. The digital cinema servers have been installed in European countries including UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Austria. The recent agreement secures Doremi Cinema’s provision of support for these existing cinemas and will, where applicable, be extended to new installations.
“We are delighted to be expanding our long-standing partnership with XDC,” comments Patrick Zucchetta, CEO Doremi Cinema EMEA. “As Digital Cinema business plans very often centre on the VPF (virtual print fee) model it is more important than ever that the technical equipment complies with industry standards. Moreover, the running of VPF model increasingly demands that the cinema equipment has passed the CTP (DCI Compliance Test Plan). We deliver servers with CTP certification and can ensure that level of continued performance for XDC.”
Serge Plasch CEO, XDC, adds, “We are very pleased to have the ongoing full support of Doremi. With a large deployment of digital cinemas across Europe depending on the VPF model its technology and assistance fulfills a vital role for our rapidly expanding business.”
Doremi Cinema has its world headquarters and production facilities in Burbank (USA), its European headquarters and R&D in Sophia-Antipolis (France), a Japan office in Tokyo, and two other R&D entities in Canada and EMEA. Its annual production capacity of more than 20,000 cinema servers allows it to provide all its customers around the world with short delivery times.
