Odeon UCI Chooses Arqiva’s Digital Cinema Platform

Odeon UCI, one of Europe’s leading cinema exhibitors and the world’s largest outside of the Americas, has chosen to deploy Arqiva’s Digital Cinema Satellite System. The agreement, working through Arqiva’s Digital Cinema partners Arts Alliance Media, will see Arqiva install its professional satellite receive equipment at nearly 100 cinemas for UCI in Italy and Portugal, UCI Kinowelt in Austria and Germany, and Cinesa in Spain. This will enable the delivery of DCPs and live events via Arqiva’s Digital Cinema platform on IS905.
 
Barrie Woolston, Commercial Director at Arqiva Broadcast & Media, said: “Odeon UCI’s decision is a massive endorsement of our Digital Cinema Satellite System both conceptually and technically.
