Jan 30, 2012

Epic Theatres of DeLand, Florida has converted 69 screens to digital projection with Barco DLP Cinema® projectors. Included in the deployment is the installation of two DP4K-32B models for two “Epic XL” large-format premium cinema screens in its new Deltona, Florida location.

The Deltona location, which opened on Dec. 20, boasts the area's only cinema with two 69-foot, large-format Epic XL auditoriums featuring RealD XLW 3D. Barco installed 12 screens at this location, including six 3D auditoriums. The new deployment follows installations of Barco's DP2K and DP4K digital cinema projectors in Florida and North Carolina.

Clint DeMarsh, VP for Epic Theatres, called Barco “the only supplier that could provide the light levels and image quality we needed on our Epic XL screens.”

Terri Westhafer, Barco’s director of business development, noted that Epic has been “on board with Barco since the beginning of changing from film to digital, and we appreciate their loyalty and vision as they have equipped their state-of-the-art Deltona theatre with 4K equipment.”
