Jakarta, Indonesia, 24 August 2015 — Barco, a global leader
in digital cinema technology, is proud to announce the installation of
the first Flagship Laser projector in the APAC region. Cinema 21 Group, a
long-term partner of Barco in Indonesia, has equipped its auditorium
with Barco’s ultra-bright 6P Flagship Laser cinema projector for large
screens (DP4K-60L). The goal is to get a proper understanding of the
projector’s operation in preparation of a more extensive rollout across
the group’s halls and theaters.
Cinema 21 Group operates more than 800 screens in 33 cities
across the Indonesian archipelago and is one of the fastest-growing
exhibition and distribution giants in the APAC region. Always eager to
be one step ahead of the competition, the group was looking into laser
projection as way to drive business in the region.
From Las Vegas to Indonesia
During the CinemaCon trade fair in Las Vegas (US), the Cinema 21
Group delegation discovered Barco’s DP4K-60L; a top-of-the-line Flagship
Laser cinema projector that brings brilliant brightness levels and
cutting-edge image quality to large screens. Combining exceptional image
quality with simplified operations and reduced operating expenses, the
group quickly realized the potential of this innovative technology.
On top of that, Barco and Cinema 21 Group were no strangers to each
other: the Indonesian group has already deployed more than 600 Barco
digital cinema projectors across the country, as well as media servers
and image processing products.
“Barco’s consistent quality and innovative spirit have persuaded us
to pilot Barco’s Flagship Laser projection in the APAC region,” comments
Suryo Suherman, president at Cinema 21 Group. “Furthermore, now that we
are expanding rapidly nation-wide, we are confident that this
technology has the potential to further drive our business.”
