Barco is supplying 800 digital cinema projectors to the China Film Group (CFG), which is leading the digitalization process for cinemas in China.
To support this process, CFG will purchase a large quantity of Barco digital cinema projectors to convert existing theaters to digital and to supply newly constructed digital cinemas. What’s more, the annual number of devices purchased from Barco will increase each year.
China Film Group’s procurement plan for 2013 calls for more than 800 digital cinema projectors, offering a wide range of models to ensure the perfect match for every screen, from the premier theatre to small and mid-sized cinema.

So we are really pleased that China Film Group has selected our leading technology to further develop the digital cinema market in China. This roll-out of digital cinema technology to many more theaters will enable China’s film industry to reach and benefit a large audience of moviegoers," commented Wim Buyens, Senior Vice President Entertainment for Barco. "Our comprehensive range of cutting-edge digital cinema solutions including 3D cinema sound, advanced digital cinema projection technology and digital signage will offer Chinese moviegoers the ultimate cinema experience."
