“The Supra-5000 is a truly stunning new technology that combines the most important factor of beautiful cinematic image quality with features that no other technology can provide in the market. Its uniquely compact form-factor, whisper-quiet operating noise level and a range of onboard features make the projector a peerless product that fits the needs of many of our customers today,” said Massimo Riva, CEO of Cinemeccanica. “We all know GDC Technology for their market-leading IMBs and we are thrilled to see them enter the projection market with this unique product that can truly help revolutionise how and where cinemas can operate.
