Empire Cinemas to use Arqiva’s Digital Cinema Satellite System
UK exhibitor Empire Cinemas has selected Arqiva’s digital cinema satellite distribution system for its entire 16-theatre circuit. Barrie Woolston commercial director at Arqiva Satellite & Media says “We believe that satellite based electronic delivery is the future of cinema distribution as it provides cost effective secure and simultaneous distribution of film content to multiple sites. It also enables the distribution of live alternative content which we see as a major growth area and an exciting commercial opportunity for exhibitors.
