    Couldn't find a cinema forum, so this looked like a suitable place.

    Ireland is to become the first country in the world to have completely digital cinema.

    Digital Cinema Limited (DCL), the Irish subsidiary of the American digital cinema technology firm Avica Europe, will install new technology into 500 screens in 105 sites throughout the country at a cost of €40m, making Ireland the first country in the world to convert all cinemas to a digital format from 35mm film.

    This technology from Avica will enable cinemas to download new films to a computer server via satellite at the press of a button. Advantages of the new system include better picture quality and the elimination of flickers and scratches that develop over time as 35mm film degrades.

    MAIN ADVANTAGE:The new technology will make it easier for smaller cinemas to get faster access to new movies rather than having to wait for bigger cinemas to finish their run of a specific movie.

    Very nice for cinemas down the country, where you may only get one new film a week, as they could now get movies quickly :cool:
