Digital Cinema gets another boost in Cannes!

The Cannes Film Festival Official Partner for digital cinema, XDC has encoded over 25 motion pictures and will manage over 40 digital cinema screenings at this year’s Festival
XDC enhancing its partnership with the Cannes Film Festival will support all the digital cinema activities from encoding the movies up to the screenings in the auditoriums of the Palais. As Official Partner of the Cannes Film Festival for digital cinema, XDC has installed the digital cinema systems in the renowned Lumière, Debussy, Bazin and Buñuel in Palais des Festivals theatres, and will collaborate with CST to provide the technical support for all digital projections in the Official Selection and in the parallel sections.

“We are particularly proud that the Festival has entrusted XDC with the responsibility for the whole workflow from the digital encoding to play out. It is the outstanding successful track-record over the last 5 years in digital cinema, both from the management and the technical staff, with the roll out of over 210 screens and the preparation of over 150 films in Europe, which allows XDC to meet this technological challenge” says Alain Remond, General Manager of XDC France.

XDC has also provided the equipment necessary for digital projection and play-out into Espace Miramar for the International Critics’ Week and into Noga Theatre for the 38th edition of the Directors’ Fortnight. The projectors installed in all the theatres are compliant with the requirements of the DCI and are today all in 2K resolution. The XDC servers are perfectly well suited to the specifications presently used for digital film distribution.

“Over 25 films have been processed by XDC Lab”, says Regis Raway, XDC Services Sales Manager. “The producer and/or the distributor give us the image via the digital master. Sound and subtitles are also provided … along with in some cases, trailers. We then, digitally encode the motion picture with or without subtitles and dubbed audio versions. Stringent quality control is performed all along the digital copy production workflow process, with a series of validations of the final result being carried out by several engineers. The digital copy is stored on a transportable hard disk and encrypted for optimal copyright theft protection. XDC’s strength is to be able to provide this high quality work at very short notice. We are accustomed to producing digital copies in just a few days before the projection in Cannes.”

The full-length feature films being prepared and/or managed by XDC are :
