Executive Summary

December 2011

  • State of the Industry - our bi-annual report covering everything (well, almost everything) digital cinema.   If you thought 2010 was a good year, the numbers for 2011 are nothing less than phenomenal.
  • Projection. Talk of high frame rates (HFR) and lasers dominated the year.  We provide the details.
  • Servers and Media Blocks. HFR shines a light on the in-projector media block (IMB).  More surprises lie ahead, and not all may be happy ones.

  • Security Key Management. The bane of digital cinema.  Thanks to Fox, there’s now light at the end of the tunnel.
  • Barco and Christie reveal the world market shares of projectors.
  • XDC and DFL Ireland finally agree.
