Nu Metro - enhancing 3D in Africa

The DP-2000: designed to project the perfect picture.

Barco is an established worldwide brand and one of only a few DCI compliant vendors who is authorised to show Hollywood content. Questek Advanced Technologies, exclusive distributor of these products in Southern Africa, installed the projectors.

The majority of cinemas in South Africa still operate in film, with a few 3D cinemas scattered around. "The upgraded cinema complex will be the company's flagship venue offering all the benefits of digital including better picture clarity. Cinema is continually evolving to move away from the traditional but cumbersome 35mm reels and provide the audience with an enhanced cinema experience," said Mark Harris, Nu Metro's content executive.

According to Questek Advanced Technologies, George van Gils, "The Emperors Palace project incorporates two new models recently introduced into the DP Series, the DP-2000 and DP-1500 models, based on the Texas Instrument's DLP chips, which are known for faultless picture quality."

The DP series offers greater image quality guaranteed over time with sealed engine, extended lifetime of the equipment with enhanced DMD cooling, lower cost of ownership through the modular design of the projector, improved reliability and NOC compliance through SNMP (v3) agent and communicator software.
