Santikos Theatres Selects GDC Servers for Digital Cinema Conversion
GDC Technology (“GDC”), a world leading digital
cinema solution provider, is pleased to announce that it has won a major digital
cinema deployment contract with Santikos Theatres, a leading cinema circuit in Texas. The
project will see the deployment of 88 GDC SA-2100A servers into
Santikos Theatres and currently work is already underway for the rollout.
Over the years, Santikos Theatres
has established a well-deserved reputation for bringing the “latest and
greatest” in cinema technology to San
Antonio. From the first drive-in theatres and
multi-plex indoor theatres, to THX and digital sound technology, Santikos
Theatres leads the way in innovation. More recent additions include 3D
presentation, Hollywood IMAX films, HD digital projection, in-theatre dining
and the city’s only art-house. John Santikos, founder and President of the
locally owned theatre circuit is proud to continue this tradition. “It has
always been our goal to offer our guests the best possible presentation,
service and overall experience. Being the first local exhibitor to bring all
digital projection here is an exciting undertaking,” John
added.
Art Seago, director of operations
for Santikos, was the driving force behind expanding digital projection to the
remaining multi-plexes. “When we decided to convert circuit-wide, we
underwent the process of comparing all of the options available to us.
GDC brought to us superior technology, quality, value and service which is what
we strive to provide to our customers at all times.”
“As one of the industry pioneers, Santikos Theatres is famed for having
brought many innovative cinematic experiences to San Antonio,” said Dr. Man-Nang CHONG,
founder and CEO of GDC Technology. “It is an honour for us to be entrusted by a
visionary company like Santikos Theatres to perform in their digital cinema
deployment. We are committed to continuously bringing advanced digital cinema
technologies and cutting-edge entertainment experiences to exhibitors and their
customers.”
