Digital Cinema Advantage

Incredible clarity and detail, whether you're catching that movie on opening night or months after, it will always look its best! This is because digital movies will not fade, have scratches, pops and jitter that film is prone to with repeated screenings.

Digitally produced or digitally converted movies may be distributed to theaters easily and in various ways. They can be distributed via satellite, physical media, or through networks. The digitized movie is stored by a server which "serves" it to a digital projector for each screening of the movie.
