Qube Cinema has installed 39 Qube XP-D servers for Kuwaits main theatrical distributor Kuwait National Cinema Company (KNCC) completing the chains transition to digital cinema in early summer. Previously, Qube Cinema had partnered with KNCC to convert an additional 15 screens. Real Image, the parent company of Qube Cinema, was the system integrator on the project, delivering a turnkey solution for KNCC, pairing Barco projectors with the Qube XP-D servers.
Sixteen of the screens also include MasterImage 3D systems for playing stereoscopic content.
Speaking about the installation, Hisham Al Ghanim, general manager, KNCC said: We looked at several digital systems before adopting Qube, Barco and MasterImage for our first round of installs. We are very pleased with the technology and the support we received.
The Qube XP-D server is fully DCI compliant and integrates seamlessly with all major Theater Management System software. KNCC will have around-the-clock access to Qube technicians who are able to remotely access a Qube XP-D server via its web interface, ensuring the systems stay up and running.
Abel Garamhegyi, Barco vice president Growth Markets and managing director for India added that the converted theaters now have high-quality systems that allow them flexibility in a rapidly changing environment.
The Qube digital cinema systems are easily upgradeable and can be outfitted for full 4K playback with the addition of Qube Xi 4K Integrated Media Blocks (IMBs).
