Doremi, world leader in digital cinema servers, has
been the Official Technical partner of the Cannes Film Festival, which took
place from May 14th to May 25th. For the 3rd consecutive year as an Official Technical
partner of the Festival, Doremi has successfully implemented its most advanced
technologies.
Doremi is one of
the pioneers of digital cinema, and
one of the leading players in digital cinema, obtaining compliance with DCI standards
and giving it recognition throughout the industry. More than 55,000
screens equipped with Doremi are active in the world, including approximately 5,000 in France.
This year, the partnership with the
Festival highlighted the flagship of the Doremi playback servers: Integrated
Media Block (IMB) and ShowVaults. A fleet of 45 servers was provided for all of the theaters of
the Palace, from the Official Selection to the “Marché du Film”. The
projections were displayed in 2K and 4K, and 2D and 3D. All of the deployed
solutions comply with quality standards
and ensure an excellent DCI projection of the movies.
Patrick Zucchetta, President of Doremi Europe commented, "This year, we
were again very pleased to get the chance to work closely with the Festival of
Cannes. It is an honor to provide our technology, including this year a large
majority of the theaters equipped with IMB/ShowVault. The long standing relationship
with the Cannes Film Festival allows us to implement our technology in the
service of this great film event of international renown."
Doremi was assisted by the technical expertise of the CST (Commission
Supérieure Technique de l' Image et du Son) to manage its fleet of servers, in
order to deliver the best possible picture. The joint work with this historic Image
Expert guarantees the Festival a perfect technical quality of facilities, as
well as optimal broadcasting of the
movies.
Alain Besse, in charge of projections at the CST, adds, "We are very satisfied
with our collaboration with Doremi, which ensures performance and reliability.
Their servers are at the forefront of technology and are able to meet all of
our screening needs, including 2K and 4K, or regarding the perfect management of
subtitles for example. As for the experienced Doremi team, they are always
available and we can count on them."
Regarding the
validations and repairs of the DCPs (Digital Cinema
Package), these were made in collaboration with the EclairGroup on the Doremi
RAPID station and
via the latest generation software tool, CineAsset-Pro.
Frantz Delbecque,
Director of R&D Eclair
Group highlights, "Doremi tools are reliable and
enable us to meet the demanding needs of digital cinema. And we
have the assurance of a professional mastering job of the utmost quality."
