Following the release of RosettaBridge Theatre Management System (TMS), which was first released into the market in 2008, Unique Digital announces the release of version 1.5. 

Developed by Unique Digital Ltd, RosettaBridge is a full-featured TMS providing cinema management and staff with an unrivalled suite of tools to manage film and advertising content through an intuitive and easy to use interface. Key features include a scalable library server, agnostic player and projector interface, automation control and content distribution, with all elements being managed using a simple drag-and-drop client GUI.

Building on their extensive experience of installing and supporting the first generation solution and managing content distribution for over 3000 screens across Europe, Unique have added a range of new features based on customer feedback and the needs of the expanding digital cinema market. First to benefit from the new release will be cinemas in Norway, as Unique continues deployment of the 350 screen contract awarded by Film and Kino earlier this year. As part of Unique’s software license model, all RosettaBridge customers under contract will be eligible to upgrade to the new version.

Unique’s RosettaBridge is a Linux based TMS designed to run on an enterprise class server with user access from any suitable network based PC via a self-installing Java client. Digital cinema deployments require efficient and robust network management and RosettaBridge lies at the heart of Unique’s complete range of software solutions aimed at managing content distribution, booking control, remote support and VPF reporting.

The RosettaBridge TMS leads the market in being completely device agnostic and supports integration with all major server and digital cinema projector equipment. Unique pride themselves in maintaining compatibility with the latest digital cinema server and projector software releases, as well as retaining backward compatibility with older, legacy systems.

Key new features include the ability to schedule multiple content ingests via the Content Management Transfer Module (CMTM) and integration with the latest GDC and Dolby software versions via their web based API’s. In addition the new version includes a film booking management system that ensures changes made in either the server or TMS are continuously synchronized across the network.

“Our RosettaBridge TMS product has been developed to meet the needs of the fast changing cinema market and we are committed to delivering the best technical solution for our customers” commented Phil Morris, director of product development at Unique Digital, adding “RosettaBridge and our NOC monitoring systems already play an integral role in the operational viability of many digital cinema networks.” 

Rod Wheeler, Sales and Marketing Director of Unique Digital Ltd commented, “Following extensive evaluation and in-field acceptance of our TMS by many of the leading cinema chains in the UK and Europe, the release of our latest version underlines Unique’s ability to deliver software and hardware solutions that provide operational efficiencies and real commercial benefits for cinema operators.”
