Cinemas in Australia and New Zealand are being offered technology which will deliver digital copies of films, trailers and commercials via satellite.
The Cinecastar system is being touted as cheaper than the current method of shipping content around the country via couriers.
Ipstar Australa has tested the equipment at 12 locations in Australia and New Zealand, including ones operated by Hoyts and Wallis Cinemas.
“This is a significant step into the 21st Century on the distribution of Dcp (digital cinema package) material and will especially benefit cinemas in regional areas whose freight bills for Dcp drives can be many thousands of dollars,” Independent Cinemas Australia president Scott Seddon tells If.
The content is delivered via the Thaicom 4 satellite with the Kencast technology which has been used by the Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition (Dcdc) since 2013 to deliver content to 2,700 North American cinemas every week.
