Doremi Cinema has been selected by Odeon/UCI, Europe’s largest cinema operator, to supply the next phase of its Digital Cinema expansion with DCP-2000 servers enabling 3D playback.

In response of the significant number of 3D releases slated for 2009, Odeon/UCI latest expansion will triple its coverage of 3D digital screens. Beginning this month, Doremi will equip 70 new Odeon/UCI screens throughout the UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Austria bringing the total number of DCI compliant screens to 111.

“We are very excited about Odeon/UCI’s accelerated digital cinema deployment” comments Michael Archer, VP of Doremi Digital Cinema. “Our digital cinema server line works with any projector and any 3D technology allowing freedom of choice to the exhibitor. We are very pleased to see Odeon/UCI has chosen Real D as a partner for their deployment”.

Doremi recently announced that the Real D 3D EQ ghost busting technology that significantly enhances the 3D viewing experience will be available in Doremi servers within the next 2-3 months.

Drew Kaza, Executive Vice President of Digital Development for Odeon/UCI Cinemas, said, "Odeon/UCI is dedicated to installing the latest technology across our cinemas.” “We look forward to working with Doremi on this project”.
