Exclusive relationship features leading Barco projection and Barco Alchemy media servers

Cinionic, the Barco, CGS, and ALPD cinema joint venture, announces an expanded exclusive relationship with South Korean-based exhibitor CJ CGV Cinemas to power more theaters with leading projection solutions. Under the new agreement, Cinionic will provide a technology mix that includes Barco Alchemy ICMP-X media servers and Barco projection for all new CJ CGV theaters over the next two years as the circuit pursues its ambitious growth strategy.
