Qube Cinema, a leading provider of end-to-end digital cinema
technology solutions announced that its content distribution service, Qube Wire
has currently over 42,000 screens actively using its application.
Theaters
use the portal to track content that is being delivered to them and manage
their theatre operations. While Qube Wire’s Distributor
Portal enables distributors to seamlessly book content to theaters across
geographies, the Exhibitor Portal allows
cinema chains, independent screens and digital cinema integrators to manage
their facility details, view and download their KDMs, or choose to
automatically forward the KDMs to the correct target facilities. To support
these operations, a dedicated and meticulous team works tirelessly behind the
scenes to ensure the accuracy of the theatre data and to provide around-the-clock
technical support.
Some of the major cinema chains using the service include:

The speed and ease of use of the Qube
Wire platform has been appreciated by its end users. As Aldo Sánchez González, the
Manager of Projection for Cinemex, a leading chain in Mexico explains, “Using an online platform means that our TDL
(Trusted Devices List) can be updated by any approved Cinemex personnel with
access to the Qube Wire system at any time. This reduces
the time of response and increases the accuracy of our TDL. Now, that is easier
and faster to update, the information is more reliable and always available.”
Speaking of the ease of use of Qube Wire’s
integrated functionality, Brandon Corrier, Film Buyer at Regal says, “With
the creation and integration of Qube Wire’s online portal, it has been a smooth
and positive experience for Regal. Our theatres are able to get tracking,
KDM’s, and Qube support all in one place with ease.”
Qube Wire saw major
growth in 2018. There was a 96% increase
in distributors using the service, 40% more countries received deliveries of
content, and more than a thousand movies were distributed over the network.
Qube Wire is also
providing exhibitors and distributors a platform for electronic delivery of
feature film and trailer DCPs across the globe. Qube Cinema started the
commercial rollout of its electronic DCP network in early 2019. The coverage is expanding across the globe
and as part of the offering to theatres, Qube
Cinema is offering the Qube WireTAP, a cloud-connected, in-theatre appliance that allows automated delivery of
DCPs and KDMs directly to theatres worldwide over broadband and satellite IP
networks.
