Palace Cinemas is working with XDC to install Barco's DP2K series projectors in both XDC screens and new sites to be opened over the next two years. Palace Cinemas currently operates 21 theatres with 180 screens throughout Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. 

V.J. Maury, chief executive officer of Palace Cinemas says, "At Palace Cinemas, we are dedicated to creating the very best entertainment destination so that our customers can have a great night out at the movies. We decided on Barco after a very successful test with 12 projectors. We were looking for extremely bright digital cinema projectors – especially for the upcoming 3D releases. During the test period, we learned that they can meet all our technological requirements, and the DP2K series is even better."



Serge Plasch, chief executive officer XDC says, "Palace Cinemas is the most dynamic exhibitor in Central Europe, and we are excited to be able to deliver Barco's DP2K projectors for their sites. The new series offers one of the brightest and most cost-effective projection solutions available on the market today." 



"The digital cinema market in Central Europe is growing rapidly and Barco is pleased to be part of it," says Wim Buyens, vice president of Barco's digital cinema division. "Palace Cinemas is just one of the ongoing installations in this region, and we are confident many more will follow."
