Growth of DTS:X screens boosted with the recent announcement by DTS

LAS VEGAS, April 2, 2019—GDC Technology Limited, (“GDC”) a leading global provider of digital cinema solutions, announced today at CinemaCon 2019 over 1,000 global movie theatre screens are installed or committed with its award–winning immersive sound media server with a built–in DTS: X™ decoder and cinema processor (GDC Immersive Sound Solution) to exhibit motion pictures released with a DTS:X soundtrack.
