Deluxe to extend digital cinema operations
Deluxe has appointed Adrian McCarten as digital content distribution executive; a new role that’s part of the company’s extension of its digital cinema operations.
“Deluxe is already the leading local provider of services in film and digital media to the entertainment industry. Adrian’s appointment marks the next evolution in our theatrical distribution services for the region which will ultimately give distributors and exhibitors confidence in partnering with a proven operator,” said managing director Alaric McAusland.
McCarten led the team that installed Australia’s first digital cinema satellite network and managed the first live satellite broadcast in 2007. He has produced live events such as the 3D World Cup matches and Andre Rieu in concert.
The Deluxe Entertainment Services Group recently announced a joint venture with Echostar Corporation to build an advanced satellite distribution network targeting delivery to digitally equipped theaters in the U.S. and Canada; and an agreement between Deluxe Digital London and Arqiva to use its European Digital Cinema Platform for the electronic delivery of DCPs from international studios to cinemas across Europe.
