OREANDA-NEWS. NEC Corporation has signed a partnership agreement to provide digital projection systems to Moviecom and Cineflix, two of Brazil's leading digital cinema chains.

Under the agreement, NEC Latin America, a wholly-owned NEC subsidiary, will supply 100 digital projection systems to Moviecom within the next twelve months. The company will also provide approximately 35 systems to Cineflix in next twelve months, and a total of 100 systems by the end of 2016.

In recent years, the transition to digital cinema has rapidly changed the face of the cinema industry. Traditional film-based cameras are being replaced by digital video cameras and computer graphics are helping to reduce filming costs. Moreover, digital projection systems are easier to maintain than conventional equipment and images retain their original high quality.
