Datasat Digital Entertainment announces that South Africa’s largest cinema exhibitor Ster-Kinekor will be installing the DC20 Digital Cinema Processor at more than 20 of their sites in the coming months.

“The DC20 is the server to install into 3D cinemas,” said Johan van Staden, Technical Manager for Ster-Kinekor. 

“The features on the DC20 make the uploading of content so much easier and faster. The connections and installations go very fast, and the software is very user friendly.”

The DC20 features a FIPS certified media block and can be used as a standalone digital cinema player for a single screen, or as a network player system for a multiplex configuration. The processor supports multiple playback formats and offers both digital and analog audio outputs.

“Backup service on the DC20 is service that cannot be matched, fast and down to the point,” continued van Staden. Datasat offers a high level of customer service and technical support on the DC20 and their entire cinema product line. 

Ster-Kinekor Theatres, the filmed and digital entertainment division of Primedia, operates 31 Ster-Kinekor Junction value cinemas and 16 Ster-Kinekor Classic cinemas with over 400 screens and 60,000 seats.
