Arts Alliance Media (AAM), leader in digital cinema software, has
announced that its class-leading Theatre Management System (TMS), Screenwriter,
has become the first TMS to include support for Barco’s recently announced Barco
Alchemy integrated cinema media processor.
This feature will be available to
all current and future Screenwriter users, allowing them to easily integrate projection
systems equipped with the Barco Alchemy technology into their circuits. Support for Barco Alchemy adds to the support Screenwriter
already provides to equipment from multiple different vendors even within the
same cinema, allowing exhibitors to manage all screens and content in the
complex seamlessly from one central point.
Combining the functionalities of an integrated
cinema processor (ICP) and a media server into a single projector, Barco
Alchemy brings more simplicity and reliability into the projection booth, while
providing future-proof modularity at unparalleled levels. Barco Alchemy
technology also supports cutting-edge projection: the 4K Barco Alchemy
projectors deliver stunning 4K 3D images and are the first digital cinema
projectors that enable 4K 2D content to be shown at 60 fps.
“AAM are passionately committed to freedom of choice for exhibitors”
said Rich Phillips, CTO of AAM. “We support all the key servers and media
blocks, enabling exhibitors to use equipment from different vendors in the same
facility seamlessly. We are delighted to be able to now offer the same support
for the innovative Barco Alchemy product, giving exhibitors the freedom to make
technology decisions that are not limited by compatibility with their existing
systems”
Theodore Marescaux, Product Manager at Barco,
added: “We’re delighted that Screenwriter is now integrated with Barco Alchemy
technology. In addition to having the best possible image technology,
exhibitors can now seamlessly manage Barco Alchemy screens within their
complex. Barco and AAM are both committed to offering exhibitors groundbreaking
technology that’s easy to use, making cinema operations even more simple and
reliable.”
Arts Alliance Media will be demonstrating its digital cinema
software suite at CineEurope in Barcelona (Booth #601) from June 16th
– 19th.
