Kuwait National Cinema Company opts for Qube XP-D Servers
Published: MEA
KUWAIT: Qube Cinema has installed 39 Qube XP-D servers for Kuwait’s main theatrical distributor – Kuwait National Cinema Company (KNCC) – completing the chain's transition to digital cinema. Previously, Qube Cinema had partnered with KNCC to convert an additional 15 screens.
Real Image, the parent company of Qube Cinema, was the system integrator on the project. It delivered a turnkey solution for KNCC, pairing Barco projectors with the Qube XP-D servers. Sixteen of the screens also include MasterImage 3D systems for playing stereoscopic content. KNCC will have around-the-clock access to Qube technicians who are able to remotely access a Qube XP-D server via its web interface, ensuring the systems stay up and running.
‘The choice was easy this time,’ said Hisham Al Ghanim, general manager, KNCC. ‘We looked at several digital systems before adopting Qube, Barco and MasterImage for our first round of installs. We are very pleased with the technology and the support we received.’
‘We are proud to partner with Qube on this important roll-out for KNCC,’ added Abel Garamhegyi, Barco vice president growth markets and managing director for India. ‘These converted theatres now have high-quality systems that allow them flexibility in a rapidly changing environment.’
‘KNCC has always been a technology pioneer, and had moved to digital ahead of the market,’ concluded Raja Enok, chief marketing officer at Qube Cinema. ‘They were one of our first customers in the region and we are delighted that they have now chosen Qube for their entire network.’
