Doremi Appointed Official Digital Cinema Partner for Berlinale 2013
Sixty-third Berlin International Film Festival Berlinale 2013, Berlin, February 7-17
Doremi,
a leader in digital cinema technology, has been confirmed as official supplier
of the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival, the ‘Berlinale’. The
company is proud to provide twenty sets of equipment to support projections at
the festival in 2D and 3D, and in 2K and 4K resolutions.
As official supplier and digital cinema partner of Berlinale
2013, Doremi is providing equipment for the festival's digital cinema
screenings. With 25 years’ experience, the company has worked with many major
international festivals. At Berlinale 2013 the Doremi equipment includes
two types of digital cinema servers, the DCP-2000 and the Integrated Media
Block (IMB)/ ShowVault.
Doremi servers have earned a reputation for efficiency and
reliability, and are the most installed and widely used cinema servers
worldwide. The IMB & ShowVault solution includes features to provide
efficient operation for the latest cinema requirements. These include a double
3G SDI input, an HDMI input with HDCP and HDMI 3D connections as well as
support for 4K and 48/60fps high frame rate (HFR) screenings. The video input
can be powered via PCI Express, HDMI and SDI connections, and the use of just
one RJ45 audio output helps to simplify the cabling. The IMB can de-interlace
1080i inputs, and outputs all formats in native XYZ colorspace, so avoiding the
need to change projector settings when switching between DCI movies and
television footage.
The partnership between the Berlinale and Doremi shows the
company’s commitment to provide all audiences with a quality cinema experience,
and so help to ensure the success of the festival. Patrick Zucchetta, CEO
Doremi Europe, comments, “We thank the Berlinale for its trust in us. We are
proud to provide this prestigious event with our technology to guarantee the
best quality projection, and we look forward to a strong and productive
collaboration.”
Ove Sander, Technical Manager Digital Cinema of the
Berlinale adds, "We are very excited to have Doremi as a new partner for
Digital Cinema this year. Its server products are used by the majority of
cinemas that we use for the festival, so being able to also equip our temporary
venues, such as the Berlinale Palast, with these systems makes the management
and planning of our infrastructure a lot easier. The Doremi ShowVaults can
easily be integrated into our fiber network, so for the first time the
Berlinale will transfer DCPs directly via this high-speed network into the
different venues."
