In a context of constantly growing business, XDC more than ever wishes to focus on its customers - their satisfaction and the lasting success of their digital deployment.
To help achieving this objective, it has been decided to create a new cell within the Operations activities: the Account Project Management.
It will be composed of 3 people fully dedicated to the follow-up of your Digital Cinema projects, namely people you already know for most of you: Philippe Grandclaudon, Bertrand Ruwet and Joan Flechet.
We will act as your privileged point of contact throughout the whole deployment process, working closely with our counterpart on your side, the Technical Manager.
We will accompany you and your team from the contract signature to the definition of the digital material & deployment planning and even after the installation is completed.
We will officially enter in our new function on 2010, January 4th.
Please note that this new cell won’t replace the Field Operations department (in charge of the pre-build & installations), the Content department (in charge of the Keys issuing) or the NOC department (in charge of Technical Support).

The United Nations released a statement today about the film: “Of all the canaries in the climate coal mine, the polar regions and the mountain glaciers are singing the hardest and the loudest. “Mark Terry’s new climate change documentary The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning underlines these realities with some of the latest and increasingly sobering scientific findings, providing further stark evidence as to why governments need to Seal the Deal in Copenhagen.” — Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme.
It has been invited by the United Nations to screen at the Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen this December. This will be the only film screened to 190 world leaders as they create the world’s first climate change policy. Here is the link to the UN announcement:

XDC went to Switzerland to equip the only IMAX Theatre of the country at the the Swiss Museum of Transport (Verkehrshaus der Schweiz) in Lucerne.
Emmanuel Finck - XDC’s Test and Pre-Build Engineer – and Protonic (local integrator) installed 2 Christie Projectors CP2000 XB with 3D Dolby systems both managed by only one server to show screenings like Dinosaurs 3D or Fly me to the Moon 3D or other giant screen film titles available in digital 3D format
A unique 3D installation in Europe to allow IMAX viewers to see a 40-minute tour of new worlds, enlarging the minute and showing the large at full size taking the 3D film experience to a new level.
Christian Scheidegger - IMAX Theatre Manager of the Swiss Museum of Transport - has written :
“The IMAX Theatre is equipping itself for the future. For the first time, 3D digital films will be shown on Switzerland’s largest permanent cinema screen. The typical feeling IMAX gives audiences – of being in the thick of the fray – will be even further intensified by the third dimension. Not only will the fascinating, two-dimensional image on film be new: thanks to the illusion of spatial depth, every spectator will really become part of the action.
The IMAX Theatre in Lucerne is the world’s first large-screen cinema to introduce this latest generation of projection technology, and will be showing two new 3D family films in the 2008/2009 winter season. Now, viewers can hike through primeval Patagonia side by side with dinosaurs or fly to the moon on board the Apollo 11 capsule.
The IMAX Theatre is breaking completely new ground by installing the 3D projector. IMAX is the world’s first ever large-screen cinema to work with the interference filter technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, which is superior to both conventional 3D systems with disposable cardboard with coloured lenses and to systems with polarisation filters or electronic shutter glasses, and produces more realistic colours and a sharper image than existing, film-based systems. Due to the extremely high separation of the individual, stereoscopic images, the experience of spatial depth experience is unimpaired by any double contours. The image is projected onto the 475m2 screen by two high-performance projectors – a worldwide innovation.”
