CINEMA PARK, the leading nationwide multiplex chain in Russia, and Ymagis
Group (ISIN: FR0011471291, TICKER: MAGIS), the European
specialist in digital technologies for the cinema industry, today announced the
completion of the installation of a Barco DP4K-60L 4K laser projection system at
the Cinema Park Mega Khimki location in Moscow. The most powerful 4K laser projector to be installed in Russia to date now
equips the Premium
Large Format SUPER D, which boasts a 17.7-meter wide screen and a seating
capacity of 376.
“As a leading cinema
chain in Russia, we are pleased to offer the audience a perfect image both in
2D and 3D formats with the highest light output in the world, as certified by
the Guinness World Records book, and this marks the very first installation of
the projection system technology in Eastern Europe,” said Nadezhda Baimbetova, Head
of Marketing for CINEMA PARK. "Together with global leaders in digital
technologies, Ymagis Group/dcinex and Barco, we are introducing an innovative
new technology that uses 40 percent less power than xenon lamp versions. This
is a technological breakthrough in our industry and an environmentally-friendly
solution."
“Our cooperation with Russia’s
largest cinema exhibitor is a significant achievement to us and strengthens our
business relationships in this market,” explains Kirill Kuzmenko, General
Director of dcinex/Ymagis Group’s Russian office. “Along with our partner Barco,
we are delighted to equip CINEMA PARK with such technology designed specifically
for Premium Large Format auditoriums. The Barco 4K-60L projection system with
its 60,000 lumens is an ideal solution for big screen theaters and offers
exceptional image quality, unmatched brightness in 3D with vivid contrast,
realistic color reproduction and the same image quality in the center as at the
edges of the screen.”
The Barco
DP4K-60L is the first DCI-compliant projector capable of showing 4K 2D content
at 60 fps and 4K 3D at 30 fps. Barco’s flagship laser projectors are based on
an intelligent projector concept that combines cost effectiveness and the
unmatched Barco Alchemy technology.
