KORTRIJK, Belgium, April 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cinionic, the leader in laser
cinema, and Cineplex, Canada's
leading entertainment and media company, today announced their new
partnership to bring Laser Projection by Cinionic to more than 800
screens across Canada in the
coming years. The companies will start the move to laser projection
later this year.
Cinionic's industry-leading portfolio of cinema laser solutions
means brighter, sharper, and more vivid theatrical presentations
for moviegoers across Canada.
"We are constantly introducing features to innovate and enhance
the movie-going experience. We are excited to work together with
Cinionic to bring their industry-leading portfolio of cinema laser
solutions to film lovers across Canada for a brighter, sharper, and more vivid
theatrical experience," said Ellis
Jacob, President, and CEO, Cineplex.
Each Cineplex screen under the deal will feature award-winning
Barco Series 4 laser projection designed with performance and the
planet in mind, smart Barco media servers and enhanced services
from Cinionic. Alongside benefits for moviegoers, Laser Projection
by Cinionic also reduces the carbon footprint of theatrical
exhibitions and delivers energy savings of up to 70% versus
traditional Xenon lamps.
"Cineplex creates entertainment destinations, and we are proud
to work with them to take the experience to the next level across
Canada," added Wim Buyens, CEO of Cinionic. "With moviegoers
showing their passion for cinema at the box office, today's
announcement highlights our shared commitment to cinema and its
long-term future as laser projection becomes the premium standard
for exhibition."
The announcement was made as the cinema industry convenes in
Las Vegas for CinemaCon, where
Barco laser projection first debuted in 2012.
