Following the announcement in 2012 that Arts Alliance Media (AAM)
had agreed VPF deals for Latin America with major US distributors, the company
has become the first to announce a major Latin American VPF deal, with Peru’s
leading chain Cineplanet agreeing to rollout digital to over 200 screens across
Peru and Chile under AAM’s VPF program in association with Latin American
integrator Quanta-DGT.
The deal will also see AAM’s Theatre Management System (TMS) software, Screenwriter, being installed on Cineplanet screens to automate
operations and unlock the real benefits of digital cinema through features such
as intuitive playlist creation, automated scheduling and comprehensive content
management.
Fernando Soriano, CEO of Cineplanet, said of the deal "After a thorough
analysis of all the VPF solutions offered in Latin America, and several trials
of hardware and software, we selected the AAM-DGT VPF program as the best
solution for our digitisation. In addition to their know-how and experience in digital
cinema, we know that they offer the best tools and software solutions so that
we can rely on them to help us bring the best experience to our customers for
years to come"
Eric Stevens, Commercial Director of Arts Alliance Media, commented
“We at AAM are enormously proud to be working with Cineplanet, one of the
region's premier exhibitors. The Latin
American digital cinema conversion is now most certainly in full
swing."
Guillaume Thomine-Desmazures, AAM’s Senior Sales Manager, added “We
have been working with our Latin American partners DGT and Bardan for a long
time establishing the best digital cinema solution for the market, and we’re
delighted that Latin America is moving forward with the transition, and very
proud that the leading independent chain has chosen AAM’s VPF and TMS software to
make the transition with.”
The rollout will begin in January 2014, and will see Barco
projectors, Doremi servers and central equipment from Bardan being installed by
locally-based Bardan engineers.
Arts Alliance Media will be at Showeast from 21st October
– 24th October, at booth #409, where the company will be
demonstrating its digital cinema software products, including Screenwriter
(Theatre Management System, TMS), Producer (enterprise TMS), Locksmith (KDM
management software) and AdFuser (digital cinema advertising management).
