Cinionic exists because selling projection to cinemas is a different business from selling projection to everyone else: it involves financing, service contracts, laser upgrade programmes for installed xenon estates, and a relationship measured in a decade rather than a transaction.
For an exhibitor the practical point is that a Barco decision and a Cinionic decision are usually the same decision.
Filmgrail has no commercial relationship with Cinionic and this listing is not an endorsement. It is here because a cinema evaluating its supply chain should be able to see the whole of it in one place. Details change — check anything decision-critical with the supplier.
