dcinex/Ymagis Group, the European specialist in digital technologies for the motion picture industry, has supplied the first Sony SRX-R515DS dual 4K projection system in Germany to Cinecitta’ Multiplexkino in Nuremberg. Just a few weeks after its installation, a second SRX-R515DS system has recently been installed, with Cinecitta’ confirming an additional order for a further five systems for its Multiplexkino, to be installed before the end of the year.
Germany’s biggest cinema complex, Cinecitta’ Multiplexkino boasts no less than 23 screens – all underground – together with 5000m2. of foyer space, three restaurants and bar/café areas.
The first of the two SRX-R515DS ordered has been installed at one of Cinecitta’s 120-seat ‘Deluxe’ premium auditoriums. The system’s extra high brightness levels ensure stunning 4K images on the 12.5-m screen. The dual projection system also ensures that 3D presentations are spectacularly smooth and easy on the eye, compared with conventional ‘triple flash’ 3D solutions using a single projector. Complemented by immersive Dolby Atmos sound, it all adds up to an unforgettable ‘VIP’ experience for patrons as they enjoy the show in cosseted luxury, with extra-large reclining seats and an at-seat refreshments service.
Cinecitta’ has consistently led the way in championing new technologies, since installing one of Germany’s very first digital cinema projectors as long ago as 2005. With the SRX-R515DS, the trail-blazing independent operator has been able to achieve significant improvements in picture quality, colour and contrast ratio over its previous generation 2K projectors.
