Polson Theatres Selects Barco Exclusively for Circuit-Wide Digital Cinema Deployment
Barco,
the global digital cinema technology leader, has completed installation of 26
DLP Cinema® projectors in Polson Theatre’s 11 sites located throughout Montana.
“We are very pleased with our new Barco projectors,”
commented Becky Dupuis, Owner and Principal of Polson Theatres, based in
Polson, Montana. “The picture is sharp, clear and bright and the color is
fantastic! Our patrons stop us on the street to thank us for upgrading to
digital projection.”
Because the Polson Theatre circuit is spread across many
small towns throughout the state, the owners wanted to maintain a high degree
of self-sufficiency with their projectors. Three of the principals completed Barco’s
industry-leading training and certification program so they could handle the maintenance,
service and repair needs quickly and efficiently at each theater location. “We
are very happy with the service and support that we have received from Barco,”
continued Dupuis. “We’ve been able to resolve any glitches onsite by ourselves and
have been able to do so very quickly.”
“When we met the Pickerell and Dupuis families about five
years ago, they were very careful and deliberate about converting to digital,”
commented Terri Westhafer, Director of Business Development Digital Cinema for
Barco North America. “Their desire to achieve certification with their Barco projectors
reflects their commitment to maintaining outstanding screen presentation.
We are proud they chose to convert their entire circuit to Barco, and we look forward
to a long and mutually prosperous relationship with them.”
