CinemaNext and Harkness Screens Partner to Install Cutting-Edge Hugo SR Screen in Vienna's Cineplexx Donauzentrum

CinemaNext, the largest cinema exhibitor services company in EMEA and the US, and Harkness Screens, the world's leading screen technology company, have joined forces to install the revolutionary Hugo SR screen in Screen 7 of Vienna's Cineplexx Donauzentrum. This installation marks a significant step forward in cinema technology, providing moviegoers with an unparalleled viewing experience. 
 
The Hugo SR screen, measuring an impressive 1980x900cm, has been specifically engineered for laser projection. It is the centerpiece of the premium cinema auditorium, which also features Dolby Atmos sound, D-Box seats, and a state-of-the-art Barco SP4K55B laser projector. 
 
Christof Papousek,   CFO/Managing Co-owner Cineplexx Group, commented that, “we have installed a significant number of Harkness Clarus screens with our major investment in Barco laser projectors throughout the Cineplexx Group in Austria, Romania and the Balkans. A brand new Barco SP4K55B is the perfect projector match for the Hugo screen.” 
 
Christof Federle, General Manager of CinemaNext Austria, commented on the installation: "We're thrilled to bring the Hugo SR screen to Vienna. This technology represents a quantum leap in cinema screens, perfectly complementing the advanced laser projection and immersive sound systems in place at Cineplexx Donauzentrum. It's a game-changer for the viewing experience." 
 
The Hugo SR screen is the result of over five years of research and development, created in collaboration with projector manufacturers, global exhibitors, the Hollywood community, and leading educational institutes. It boasts several groundbreaking features, including embedded speckle reduction technology, built-in high contrast, and an optically whiter surface. 
 
Tony Dilley, SVP Sales of Harkness Screens, stated: "The Hugo SR screen represents the future of cinema viewing. Its ability to reduce laser speckle by up to 30% compared to traditional high-gain silver screens, coupled with its enhanced contrast capabilities, makes it the perfect choice for modern, laser-equipped cinemas. We're excited to see it in action at Cineplexx Donauzentrum." 
 
This installation follows successful collaborations between CinemaNext and Harkness Screens on recent Omniplex multiplex projects in Wigan and Birmingham, UK, where Hugo SR screens were also installed. 
 
The Hugo SR screen is designed to support and leverage the benefits of all types of laser projection, creating compelling 2D and deep 3D images with additional contrast. Its unique surface coating creates more vivid colors with blacker blacks and whiter whites, ensuring that the enhanced capabilities of laser projection are fully realized.
