Cinema

The cinema industry is facing increasing cost pressure. The centralization of IT and AV equipment as well as the automation of movie theaters offer possible solutions here.

 

The simple definition of a movie theater is a room or building where a movie is shown in front of an audience. In German we have synonyms for cinema such as Lichtspielhaus, Lichtspieltheater and Filmtheater.

To be able to show a movie, the right cinema technology is important. Cinema technology describes the performance of cinematographic representations for scientific, business and social purposes. The technical requirement of a cinema in classical cinemas is a screen with a projection of a projector or beamer. This cinema technology is located in the projection room behind the auditorium. Newer cinemas do away with the projection room and use a large LED screen directly in the auditorium. For all cinemas, safe and trouble-free operation is critical to a positive movie-going experience for the audience.

Mastering specific challenges in cinema operations

A reliable power supply in the cinema auditorium or projection room is essential. Cinema technology such as digital projectors, LED walls, screens and digital sound systems depend on a reliable power supply. Modern cinema technology in particular requires energy monitoring in order to reduce high electricity costs and keep overvoltage peaks to a minimum.

Smooth access to the main server should be guaranteed. This is particularly important if several cinemas in a network access a master server in order to play their films automatically according to schedule. Controlling is also important to ensure trouble-free cinema operations.

However, if there are problems with the screening of the cinema film, it is not only the cinema operators who start to sweat. Audiences can leave the cinema in frustration because the cinema technology is not working properly, which can result in cinema operators losing money. Without remote access, an AV technician has to intervene manually and takes time and effort to deal with the malfunctioning equipment
