After winning accolades of movie-buffs from Nizam area, digital cinema is making its forays into Andhra and ceded (Rayalaseema) areas of the State.
These films will be uploaded to a central server and later distributed online to the cinema halls equipped with the receiving systems. The whole system is encrypted to prevent piracy.
Theatres in rest of the State too are in the pipeline to replace their age-old projectors with new ones enabling cine goers to experience the difference. Fixing film reels to the projector and changing them every half-an-hour will be passe in theatres. Once the digital projection system is installed, movies will be downloaded through satellite.UFO Moviez, a Mumbai-based digital cinema network, which has plans to create the largest chain of cinema houses across the country, clinched a deal with a couple of local theatres to convert them into digital cinema halls. If everything goes well, people of the city will watch Raviteja-starrer 'Vikramarkudu' in the digital format, followed by Chiranjeevi-starrer 'Stalin.' A couple of theatres in Kurnool and Kakinada will also be digitised soon. Our plan is to introduce digital technology in at least 450 theatres across the State in the next six months, says T. Rama Mohan Rao, dealer for UFO Moviez in Andhra Pradesh.
UFO will obtain a no-objection certificate from film producers to digitise their films in MPEG 4 format. These films will be uploaded to a central server and later distributed online to the cinema halls equipped with the receiving systems. The whole system is encrypted to prevent piracy.
