Preview on Display with Expected Availability During 2007
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2007--DTS Digital Cinema
(NASDAQ:DTSI) has announced that it will preview an Avica
FilmStore(TM) D-Cinema player at this year's ShoWest convention. This
newest development is the result of a joint engineering effort between
Avica and DTS resulting from the exclusive global licensing agreement
signed by both companies in November of 2006.
"The benefits of having the Avica IP available for development by
DTS Digital Cinema is already showing results in the form of the new
update for the FilmStore supporting DCI specification JPEG2000
decoding and decryption," said Don Bird, senior vice president for
corporate strategy and business development.
At its ShoWest trade show suite (Palace 2 at Bally's), DTS Digital
Cinema will demonstrate JPEG decoding under the control of the
FilmStore's well-known user interface. The product has been updated to
support compliance with the latest studio requirements for D-Cinema
exhibition playout equipment and is expected to be re-released to the
market later in 2007. The FilmStore made its initial debut as one of
the first commercially available D-Cinema players at ShoWest in 2001
and was successfully deployed on a number of D-Cinema screens
worldwide.
Says Nicholas Clay, Avica CEO, "Since joining forces with DTS
Digital Cinema, we are pleased to see Avica's products and
technologies brought forward to the market with the support of a
global organization that has deep expertise and relationships in the
cinema industry."
DTS Digital Cinema will have ongoing industry demonstrations of
the FilmStore at ShoWest March 12 through March 15.
