This year, our tradition of being first-to-market continues at CineAsia by launching several new technologies, including high-performance media servers for LED cinemas.”
GDC has pioneered LED cinema media servers, with close to 200 LED cinema screens installed worldwide. As of September 2024, more than 80 percent have adopted GDC LED media servers. “The journey into the next era of digital cinema will be an exciting adventure led by LED cinema screen technology,” said Pranay Kumar, CTO of GDC Technology Limited. “With our high-performance standalone integrated media block for LED direct view displays, exhibitors can now offer their customers an unmatched moviegoing experience.”
