Qube Cinema Partners with the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival to Present a Digital Cinema Showcase.Festival Filmmakers to Screen Films in JPEG2000 on Qube Cinema NEW YORK -- Qube Cinema is proud to partner with the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival taking place in New York City from April 23 to May 4 to present a digital cinema showcase of festival films. This initiative will introduce independent filmmakers to Qube Cinema and the DCI JPEG2000 format - the global standard for digital cinema. At the Festival, Qube Cinema will showcase its Qube XP-D DCI compliant digital cinema servers as well as its suite of mastering tools. A 2K DLP Cinema[TM] projector and Qube XP-D server will be installed at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center theater where TFF's premiere red carpet screenings will be held. Using Qube Cinema's QubeMaster Pro and QubeMaster Xpress systems, an individual filmmaker can efficiently create their own DCI JPEG2000 from a multitude of file formats. This will allow them instant access to the approximate 7000 digital cinema systems in the world - approximately 5000 of these systems are in the United States (all of which are approved by major studios). It is further anticipated that an additional 10,000 systems will be deployed worldwide over the next 12 months. "We are excited about this collaboration with Qube Cinema. Qube's interest in independent cinema and recognition of the potential economic impact that this content will make as our industry evolves is compelling. Their support of the independent film community, the efficiency of mastering within the Qube workflow, and the ease of equipment integration will allow for a very productive partnership this year," stated Mark Steele, Director of Operations at the Tribeca Film Festival. QubeMaster is rapidly becoming an industry standard for Digital Cinema Package (DCP) creation. It is used by some of the leading digital cinema facilities in the industry, and QubeMaster customers include Technicolor, Ascent Media, IMAX, Arri among others.
