Larry Jacobson joins QuVIS as President of newly formed Entertainment Division

QuVIS, Inc. is pleased to announce that Mr. Larry Jacobson has joined the company as President of QuVIS newly formed Entertainment Division.

The new division will provide QuVIS advanced digital imaging technologies to those entertainment markets seeking solutions to the increasing demand for high resolution, high fidelity imaging - including d-cinema exhibition, gaming, large venues, production, post production, and alternative programming.

"The formation of a separate Entertainment Division is necessary to continue our expansion of efforts in this industry," said Kenbe Goertzen, President and CEO, "This move will ensure that QuVIS remains focused on our entertainment customers. We are proud to have a respected industry veteran like Larry Jacobson to lead it .

Mr. Jacobson most recently was Vice President of Strong Digital, a division of Ballantyne of Omaha Inc. He has approximately 30 years tenure as a theatre consultant and exhibitor.

During his career, Mr. Jacobson has been responsible for the design and construction of theatres, the purchasing and installation of fixtures, and the oversight of existing theatre rehabilitation. As a result of his involvement, he has personally been responsible for and holds patents on several industry innovations in audio and theatre facility design.

In 1998, Mr. Jacobson received an Academy Award for Technical Achievement and in addition, he was one of only four people in NATO history to be the recipient of the Medal of Honor for Outstanding Achievement on behalf of NATO and Exhibition. Eastman Kodak presented him with the Technical Service Award on 1991. In 1994, he received the Stace Award by Dolby Laboratory for the Theatre Equipment Association ( TEA").

I am excited about the possibilities provided by the technological superiority of the QuVIS product line. QuVIS provides a true end-to-end digital imaging solution, a solution that is especially well suited for the emerging digital cinema market, Mr. Jacobson said. It was obvious to me that QuVIS' business philosophy of merging the most advanced technology with the needs of its customers will be a catalyst for success.

About The Digital Test Bed The Digital Test Bed was born out of the need for an independent and neutral testing facility for exploring the new digital technology that is affecting cinema exhibition and filmmaking. The inspiration came out of the industry co-operation that resulted in the road-show 'Celluloid or Silicon?', which toured London, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bradford and Belfast in Nov-Dec 2000. There was also a call for a UK/European equivalent to the Digital Cinema Lab, set up by the Entertainment Technology Center in Hollywood, California. These two elements came together in the DTB.
