Barco

A well-known movie exhibitor offering family entertainment and luxury theaters in Peru, UVK Multicines recently desired to upgrade their cinema technologies to best-in-class digital projection across their circuit in rapid fashion. They were able to secure the best total solution approach to their needs by choosing Barco, Cinema Equipment & Supplies (CE+S), and GDC Technology, who manages their VPF subsidy and provides both IMB technology and theater management software.

“Thanks to a very competitive package offered by Barco, CE+S and GDC, we were able to obtain industry-leading projectors and attractive financing to meet our objectives,” Monica Ubillus, Director Manager of UVK Multicines. “They worked seamlessly together to meet our very aggressive timeframe, providing top-notch service and support all along the way, from planning through full implementation.”

Turnkey services and support
CE+S provided a 360-degree solution based exclusively on Barco projectors, pre-staging units and assembling their theater management systems at their Miami location before shipping to UVK.  Thanks to Barco’s wide range of options, UVK matched the perfect projector to every screen, from the compact DP2K-10Sx to the DP2K-23B for larger auditoriums.

“It has been a wonderful experience to partner with Barco to support UVK’s digital cinema conversion, as we appreciate their in-depth knowledge of the Latin America market as well as their highly efficient workflow,” comments Alex Younger, VP of Sales for CES. “Because of our completely in-house operation and turnkey approach, we can exercise more control and efficiency to fulfill the needs of digital cinema conversions in a timely manner.”
