The revamped offering will be available as part of Comscore’s Hollywood Software suite of solutions and will provide exhibitors worldwide with a faster, more user-friendly and flexible theatre management system.
Comscore (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, announced today the launch of the next generation of its theatre management system (TMS) software, Comscore Cinema Auditorium Control Engine (ACE). Cinema ACE, a part of Comscore’s Hollywood Software suite of solutions, is designed to provide exhibitors the ability to connect auditoriums, centralize content management and automate the transfer of features, trailers and encryption keys.
Cinema ACE features a faster, more-user friendly interface, new automations to expedite weekly task completion and a simplified web browser-based user interface. The upgraded solution also features more flexible hosting options for circuits of all sizes as well as an SQL database that can be hosted on-site in the projection booth or from the Cloud, with full data encryption at rest and in transit.
“We’re very excited to introduce Comscore’s Cinema Auditorium Control Engine as our next generation theatre management system to exhibitors both domestically and internationally,” said Arturo Guillen, Senior Vice President and Global Managing Director of Comscore Movies. “Comscore will continue to listen to our partners in the movie exhibition space to offer the highly valuable solutions they need to succeed and drive business growth.”
