About DCIP
DCIP is a joint venture owned equally by exhibition industry leaders AMC
Entertainment Inc., Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and Regal, a subsidiary of
Cineworld Group plc. Formed over 10 years ago to facilitate the upgrade
from 35mm to digital projection technology, DCIP has overseen the
conversion of more than 18,000 screens across the United States, Canada
and Latin America, and continues to provide management services and
facilitate information flow for its deployment footprint and exhibition
and distribution partners.
As part of the monumental transition from film print to digital
technology, DCIP developed extensive expertise in managing vast amounts
of information throughout its digital network, which led to the creation
of Cinergy, a scalable centralized enterprise software suite developed
to help exhibitors and distributors better monitor and manage cinema
execution, presentation and quality assurance, utilizing information
that was not centrally available prior to the industry’s conversion.
