All theatres will have digital projection within the coming months, offering guests superior picture and sound quality on 98 Santikos screens. Currently, the Silverado 19 IMAX, Palladium IMAX, Silverado 16 and Embassy 14 have converted all existing 35mm auditoriums to digital using Barco Digital Cinema projectors. Art Seago, director of operations for Santikos has led the company’s technology upgrades.
“When we decided to convert to digital circuit wide, we underwent the process of comparing the wide array of options available. Barco brought to us superior technology, quality, value and service which is what we strive to provide to our customers at all times.”
In addition, 27 XpanD 3D screens (http://www.xpandcinema.com/products/) will be added in time for Alice in Wonderland 3D to be seen at any Santikos theatre on March 5th, 2010. “XpanD offers an unparalleled 3D presentation with their exclusive Active Glasses which offer the clearest, flicker-free 3D experience in the world,” Seago said.
D-BOX motion seats will be coming to San Antonio’s Silverado 16 in April 2010 following the highly successful launch of this exciting new viewing experience in Houston at the Silverado 19 IMAX. The patented technology, D-BOX Motion Code (http://www.d-box.com/en/movie-theatre/)™, is embedded frame by frame, onto each film by D-BOX Motion Designers, perfectly synching the onscreen action with the motion sensations of each seat. Additionally, seats come fully-equipped with personalized intensity adjustments allowing movie viewers the opportunity to experience as much or as little action as desired.
