Doremi Technologies is pleased to announce the successful playback on the
DCP2000 Digital Cinema Server of the Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC (DCI)
compliant Digital Cinema Package (DCP) called “StEM Mini Movie – The Sequel 2K @
24fps” which marks one of most important milestone for the development of
Digital Cinema.

Server that was immediately installed in several digital upgraded theatres
through USA, Doremi will introduce at Cinema Expo Amsterdam June 28-30 (Booth
211), the first release of the DCP2000 Digital Cinema Server designed from

The DCP-2000 Digital Cinema Server is capable of playing DCI compliant 2K DCP
using JPEG2000 codec at up to 250Mbits/sec. The DCP-2000 features dual link
HD-SDI output, up to 2K RGB 4:4:4 @ 10/12 bits, up to 1200GBytes of RAID5

"The successful playback on our newest DCP2000 of the DCI compliant DCP is a
major step into the delivery to market of Hollywood approved Digital Cinema
Servers and we are very proud to be first manufacturer to show such a JPEG2000
DCP compliant digital cinema server at next Cine Expo Amsterdam. Now theatre
networks can start to install compliant delivery solutions that will not become
obsolete sometimes next year.” commented Patrick ZUCCHETTA, Head of European
Business Development at Doremi Technologies.
The development process was a collaborative effort of Doremi Labs, Burbank and
Doremi Technologies, Sophia-Antipolis involving technologies developed at both
locations. Doremi Technologies recently expanded its European headquarter
operation with a new building located at the heart of Sophia-Antipolis high tech
Park, located 15mn from Cannes city, well known in the film industry. The new
