Barco is proud to announce the installation of the first
flagship laser projector in the Republic of Korea. Lotte Cinema, one of
the country’s major multiplexes, has equipped its auditorium with
Barco’s ultra-bright 6P laser cinema projector for premium screen
(DP4K-60L).
Lotte Cinema operates about 900 screens in three nations — the
Republic of Korea, Vietnam and China — and is one of the fastest-growing
cinema exhibitors in the APAC region. To create the best possible movie
experience, Lotte Cinema recently launched its own premium auditorium
brand, Super Plex, which features over 22-meter wide screen, immersive
3D sound system with premium speaker and a brighter 3D system with 2.4
gain silver screen.
To ensure that SuperPlex can differentiate itself in terms of picture
quality as well, Lotte Cinema decided to look into the possibilities of
laser technology. Barco’s
DP4K-60L's
exceptional image quality, simplified operations and reduced operating
expenses convinced Lotte Cinema to make the switch to laser projection.
“Creating a big screen is not so difficult,” comments Cha Woncheon, CEO
of Lotte Cinema. “The key is to provide the sound and image quality that
suits such a screen. We thoroughly tested Barco’s
DP4K-60L for more than two months and are now convinced that Barco laser projection will be the real game-changer for premium cinema.”
