TI says these latest figures mark a turning point in the cinema industry with more than 50% of the estimated worldwide commercial cinema screens converting to digital. The industry expects the shift to near completion by the end of 2015.
To mark the event, DLP Cinema provided each of its licensees; Barco, Christie and NEC, with a commemorative DLP Cinema chip representing the 50,000th 3-chipset manufactured. These chips will be installed at three cinemas. Barco has selected the Cinemark El Tesoro in Medellin, Colombia, Christie has chosen the Shanghai Film Group Corporation (SFG) in China and NEC has picked the Majestic Cinema in Milwaukee, WI USA as the worldwide representatives of this 50,000th milestone.
Christie said that it was responsible for shipping and installing more than 26,000 digital cinema projectors worldwide while Barco claimed more than 20,000 units bagging 40% of the total DLP Cinema based projector fleet across the globe.
