Evergrande Cinema Line Management Co., Ltd. selected GDC Technology as its technology partner to provide approximately 300 units of SX-3000 Standalone Integrated Media Block (IMB) and 30 sets of Theatre Management Systems (TMS) at its cineplexes in China. As of August 13, GDC’s IMB and TMS had already been deployed in 15 Evergrande cineplexes.

Evergrande's first complexes are in Xian, Zhongshan, Yueyang and Danzhou.
“Stable and reliable hardware and software are both essential for a top cinema line in China,” said Guangwei Li, general manager of Evergrande Cinema Line. “After stringent comparison and analysis over a long period of time, we have come to a conclusion that GDC’s IMB and TMS are compliant with all our requirements.”
