Canada's Second
Largest Exhibitor Chooses Doremi's Cinema Servers for Nationwide
Deployment
Doremi Cinema announced an exclusive agreement with Empire
Theatres Limited of Canada to install Doremi Cinema Servers
on more than 300 Empire screens.
The installations will include Doremi's DCP-2000 and Integrated
Media Block (IMB) with Doremi's ShowVault. Burbank California
based Doremi manufactures the industry's most popular digital
cinema servers with more than 15,570 units shipped worldwide.
Empire Theatres is Canada’s second largest exhibition
company with headquarters in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. Empire
Theatres operates 50 theatres throughout Canada, with 380
screens, and employing more than 2,500 employees.
"We began our relationship with Doremi last year when
we installed 63 screens with Doremi's DCP-2000 cinema servers,"
commented Valerie Ryan, VP Real Estate & Development for
Empire Theatres. "Given that initial success, and the
additional field testing we conducted in conjunction with
Series II projectors, Doremi servers were the clear choice
for going forward."
“We selected both the Doremi DCP-2000 and IMB with ShowVault
because we wanted to future proof our circuit for 4K,"
commented Ryan. "Both models provide outstanding 2K playback
for 2D and 3D, but knowing that Doremi’s IMB is the only
4K IMB readily available today which can easily be upgraded
to 4K playback with a simple firmware upgrade gives us the
flexibility to control how we roll out our 4K screens."
Empire Theatres' choice of Doremi exemplifies their commitment
to providing movie audiences throughout Canada with the most
advanced technology in support of Hollywood's 2D and 3D blockbusters.
"Empire Theatres is a truly innovative exhibitor with
an outstanding reputation for quality and guest satisfaction."
Michael Archer, VP of Doremi Cinema comments.
"Their selection of Doremi as their exclusive digital
cinema server provider illustrates their in-depth understanding
of digital cinema technology and where the future of exhibition
is headed. We are thrilled to undertake this long-term partnership
and look forward to supporting Empire Theatres as they take
their theaters to the next level."
