Majestic Cineplex Unveils South Asia’s First Tricorne Premium LED Cinema Screen
GDC Technology and Ceylon Theatres Raise Standards in Premium Cinema Experience in Sri Lanka
Colombo, Sri Lanka, May 14, 2026 — GDC Technology Limited, a leading global provider of digital cinema solutions, today announced the grand opening of the Tricorne Premium LED cinema screen in the Platinum auditorium at Majestic Cineplex in Colombo, Sri Lanka — marking a first for South Asia. The 13-meter Tricorne Premium LED, installed through a partnership with Cine Digital (Pvt) Ltd and operated by Ceylon Theatres, is among the most advanced direct view cinema presentation systems in the region.
New Standard for Premium Exhibition
The Platinum auditorium features a 13-meter floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall Tricorne Premium LED screen, delivering unmatched brightness, contrast, and color performance compared to traditional projection. The Tricorne Premium LED cinema screen has a fully acoustically transparent perforated design, enabling loudspeakers to be installed directly behind it. This maintains natural sound localization, ensuring dialogue and sound effects come from the screen as intended by filmmakers.
Tricorne Premium LED ensures reliable, energy-efficient operation while enabling a wider range of content—from films to live events and alternative programming. Powered by the GDC LED media server with built-in CineCache solid-state storage (4TB), the system is engineered for high reliability, targeting a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of up to 100,000 hours. The installation also incorporates the active 3D solution, delivering brighter and more stable 3D images with minimal crosstalk.
“Upgrading to the 13-meter Tricorne Premium LED screen has transformed our Platinum auditorium. The acoustically transparent design allows us to deliver both breathtaking visuals and properly localized sound, creating a truly immersive experience for our audiences,” said Mr. Sanjay Niles, executive director, CT Holdings PC.
“This milestone installation of the first Tricorne Premium LED validates the growing demand for HDR cinema technology across South Asia,” said Sachin Shetty, country head, India of GDC Technology. “With Tricorne Premium LED, exhibitors can deliver premium visual performance while preserving true cinematic sound, setting a new standard for modern cinema presentation.”
“We are proud to partner with GDC Technology and Ceylon Theatres in delivering this landmark installation at Majestic Cineplex,” said Wasim Cader, Chairman of Cine Digital (Pvt) Ltd.. “The Tricorne Premium LED screen represents a significant step forward in cinema presentation, combining cutting-edge visual performance with precise audio integration. This project reinforces our commitment to bringing world-class cinema solutions to Sri Lanka and supporting exhibitors in elevating the moviegoing experience.”
About Ceylon Theatres
Ceylon Theatres has been associated with the entertainment industry in the country for over 90 years with its primary focus on movie production and exhibition in Sri Lanka. The Company owned and operated a string of cinemas in various parts of the country including such well-known destinations such as Regal Colombo, Empire, and Majestic Cinemas. The Company also set up the first film production and processing facilities in the country with the establishment of Ceylon Studios Ltd in 1956, thus paving the way for the development of local film production expertise.
