CJ 4DPLEX (www.cj4dx.com),
the world’s leading cinema technology company, announced today a new
partnership agreement with GDC Technology, where the two companies will work
to identify new opportunities for ScreenX and 4DX to expand the companies’
exhibition network across Latin America. This alliance will bring a realistic
innovative movie-going experience like no other to a much broader audience in
Latin and Central America.
ScreenX is the world's
first multi-projection theatre technology that offers a 270-degree panoramic
movie watching experience. ScreenX allows the audience to go beyond the frame
of the traditional movie screen, utilizing a proprietary system to expand the
center screen image to the side walls, surrounding audiences with imagery and
providing a sense of being inside the movie.
GDC Technology offers
a one-stop shop for digital cinema solutions for the global cinema industry,
specializing in Cinema Automation systems and media servers. Today, one in
every three cinema screens in the world, from art houses to multi-screen
complexes, count on GDC solutions to enable new cinematic possibilities and
experiences. GDC is widely recognized for its first-to-market solutions to
automate cinema workflow and improve operation efficiency. At CinemaCon 2019,
GDC also presented the world’s first highest frame-rate 3D cinema solution with
Academy Award-winning
director, Ang Lee, for 3D playback in 4K 240fps format. GDC is the
recipient of the prestigious “Catalyst Award for Best New Technology of
CinemaCon” winning in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
4DX’s advanced theater
technology enhances the on-screen visuals of action-packed blockbusters,
transcending the traditional cinema experience through special effects
including motion-synchronized seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, snow, bubble,
vibration, and scents. The result is one of the most innovative cinema formats
in the industry, drawing fans into the action on the big screen.
“We are thrilled to be
expanding our relationship with GDC for this new opportunity to expand across
Latin America,” said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. “We entered the Latin
American market in 2011, expanding into Mexico, Chile, the Caribbean and the
Dominican Republic, and with GDC, we look forward to expanding our presence
further in sharing our next-generation technologies 4DX, ScreenX, and our
latest 4DX with ScreenX, to a new and wider audience.”
“Developing new
technologies for the cinema industry is unique in that it requires constant
communications with exhibitors, distributors and the creative community. Our award-winning Cinema Automation and
SR-series media servers were developed from our 20-year knowledge of digital
cinema and constantly working with our industry partners, such as CJ 4DPLEX,”
said Dr. Man-Nang Chong, founder, chairman and CEO of GDC Technology Limited.
“This partnership with CJ 4DPLEX to offer 4DX and ScreenX in Latin and Central
America will provide exhibitors award-winning technologies from two leading
companies and keep them ahead of today’s and tomorrow’s digital cinema world.”
