As Partner, XDC has installed the digital cinema systems
in the renowned auditorium Fevi (one 2K Cinemeccanica
CMC3 D2 projector controlled by one XDC server) and
also in La Sala and Piazza Grande. XDC will provide
the technical support for all digital projections in
collaboration with its Swiss integrator Protronic AG
Kinotechnik.
XDC has the responsibility for the whole workflow
from the digital encoding to play out. It is the outstanding
successful track-record over the last 5 years in digital
cinema, both from the management and the technical
staff, with the roll out of over 230 screens and the
preparation of over 150 films in Europe, which allows
XDC to meet this technological challenge.
The
projectors installed in all the theatres are compliant
with the requirements of the DCI and are today all
in 2K resolution. The XDC servers are perfectly well
suited to the specifications presently used for digital
film distribution.
Over
7 films have been processed by XDC Lab. The producer
and/or the distributor give the image via the digital
master. Sound and subtitles are also provided
along with in some cases, trailers. Then, the motion
picture is digitally encoded with or without subtitles
and dubbed audio versions. Stringent quality control
is performed all along the digital copy production
workflow process, with a series of validations of
the final result being carried out by several engineers.
The digital copy is stored on a transportable hard
disk and encrypted for optimal copyright theft protection.
XDCs strength is to be able to provide this
high quality work at very short notice and is accustomed
to producing digital copies in just a few days before
the projection during the Festival.
The
full-length feature films being prepared and managed
by XDC are: Street Thief by Malik Bader, Destricted
by Marina Abramovic, Wild Tigers by Cam Archer,
Gretchen by Steve Collins, Windows by
Shoja Azari, The Bimo Records by Rui Yang and
The Heart of the Earth by Antonio Cuadri.
XDC
will participate to a discussion panel held in the Forum,
Monday 7th August, about HD, I-POD, HDNET, PSP.
