Doremi Cinema announced that its digital cinema
servers are being used to playback Sensio's Live 3D broadcasts
of World Cup Soccer matches around the world.
The 2010 World Cup will be the first-ever global live 3D event.
SENSIO is FIFA's main live 3D events technology partner and
is delivering this groundbreaking live 3D event to cinemas
and large venues.
Sensio's Live 3D encoding and streaming technology is already
embedded in all Doremi DCP-2000 and DCP-2K4 digital cinema
servers and, at this point in time, only Doremi servers are
capable of decoding Sensio Live 3D World Cup broadcasts without
adding additional hardware in the projection booth. To date,
there are over 1000 cinema screens worldwide that are broadcasting
live 2010 World Cup matches.
“This is an exciting milestone for digital cinema equipped
theatres and venues” comments Michael Archer, VP of Doremi
Cinema. Exhibitors are seeing more alternative content revenue
streams that support the transition to all-digital cinema
screens, and Doremi's offers some new and unique hardware
solutions to make it that much simpler to participate.”
One of Doremi's solutions is for those theatres wanting to
broadcast the live World Cup matches using other manufacturers’
digital cinema servers. Here Doremi's new Dimension-3D Cine
decoding hardware provides the needed bridging device to allow
decoding Sensio live 3D events without the need to manually
reconfigure the cabling. Thus far, over 158 sites are using
this device to enable the live Sensio 3D broadcasts.
Should a theatre want to broadcast the World Cup Matches to
several screens at once, Doremi has developed a multi-casting
streaming device called the StreamIt. The StreamIt is a broadcast
MPEG2 video streamer companion device for Doremi DCP-2000
and DCP-2K4 digital cinema servers.
The StreamIt enables the streaming of alternative programming
via satellite to multiple screens live, in both 2D and 3D.
Up to four screens can be streamed simultaneously allowing
for up-to-the-minute scheduling. At this time, the StreamIt
only works with Doremi Cinema servers.
Sensio President and CEO Nicholas Routhier comments, “It's
exciting that theatre owners will be able to receive and stream
live 3D events, like the World Cup, to an entirely new demographic
of customers. Innovative companies like Doremi, with its Sensio
3D-enabled servers, and ancillary hardware options, means
any digital cinema theatre can capitalize on live 3D World
Cup broadcasts if they so desire.”
