First installation of mastering facilities in Russia

"The first Digital Cinema mastering station in Russia has been installed as a part of the national Digital Rollout programme developed by the Head Data-Computing Centre (GIVC) of the Federal Agency of Culture and Cinematography, and the ComSat company, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Culture. This installation means that now, not only foreign, but also national films can be projected onto digital screens with DCI-rated image quality. Coming only a few months after the opening of the first digital cinema in Saint Petersburg, this installation is a big step towards a full-scale digital rollout in Russia.

Doremi Cinema's DMS-2000 mastering station was selected by the Head Data-Computing Centre to create Digital Cinema movie files. Today Doremi is a leading developer and supplier of DCI JPEG 2000 digital cinema servers and encoders. Several DCP-2000 cinema servers are already installed at commercial cinemas and laboratories in The Russian Federation.

With the DMS 2000, Head Data-Computing Centre will provide encoding/mastering of JPEG 2000 files in 2k resolution conforming to DCI specifications. The Doremi system also enables the mastering of pre-show content such as publicity, documentary films and video clips."
