Ymagis Group, the European specialist in digital technologies for the motion picture industry, and Austrian cinema exhibitor Cineplexx, a subsidiary of Constantin Film Holding, GmbH., announced it will equip up to nine additional Cineplexx auditoriums with Dolby Atmos immersive sound technology. Three Dolby Atmos screens were successfully installed in July at Cineplexx Linz, Cineplexx Amstetten and Cineplexx Wiener Neustadt by Ymagis Group’s Vienna-based company, dcinex GmbH. The company also completed earlier Cineplexx Dolby Atmos installations in Vienna and Graz, in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
“In addition to being the largest Austrian cinema exhibitor, Cineplexx has always been at the forefront of technological innovations in Europe, adopting Dolby’s revolutionary sound system back in 2012, which was a first in German-speaking countries,” said Till Cussmann, VP Exhibitor Relations of Ymagis Group/dcinex. “By year end, no fewer than 19 screens in Austria alone will have been equipped with Dolby Atmos systems by our skilled engineers and technicians. Thanks to Cineplexx and other clients in Central Europe, we have gained tremendous experience in the installation of this new technology, increasing our ability to offer cost-effective solutions to movie exhibitors.”
“We are thrilled to continue our first-class collaboration with Ymagis Group/dcinex,” said Christian Langhammer, Managing Director of Constantin Film Group in Austria. “With what undoubtedly constitutes groundbreaking sound innovation, we continue to boost the cinematic experience to the next level. With a larger number of screens in Austria equipped with this new technology, more Cineplexx patrons will be able to enjoy their favourite movies in a truly spectacular way.”
