“We actually like going into places where people think you can’t do a good job showing a movie, and Fenway Park was one of those.”

With the endless array of new technologies hitting the market, many of our clients are wondering whether they should transition to digital cinema or incorporate digital into their environment. We’d be glad to talk with you about your options and help you make the best decision for your needs. In the meantime, we’d like to share our approach to digital cinema.

 

Bringing craftsmanship to digital cinema

Whether you’re showing first run features, high-definition content, or archival film, the principles of creating an outstanding presentation remain the same. It is this foundation that continues to guide us in delivering excellent cinematic experiences.

 

We’ve mastered the art of cinema presentation across digital, video, and film formats. As technical advisors for landmark events such as the Sundance, Doha Tribeca, and Telluride Film Festivals, we’re adept at integrating the full spectrum of digital presentation technologies, including 3-D digital presentation, DCI-compliant digital cinema, computer-based content, Blu-ray DVD, professional broadcast formats (e.g., HDCAM, DigiBeta, XDCAM), and all common consumer video formats. Our digital upgrade capabilities also include multi-channel audio (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).

 

Perfecting the art of digital cinema

We love ingenuity. And we love movies. This odd combination has given us a reputation for delivering the impossible. From providing extraordinary cinematic experiences in unforgiving outdoor settings to overcoming the most challenging room acoustics, we revel in solving vexing technical obstacles. As we continue to push the envelope of what’s possible, we’ve gained a keen understanding of the complexities involved with digital cinematic presentation.

 

Providing a consultative approach

There are plenty of commercial AV companies ready to push theatres toward digital cinema. Yet with 30 years of hands-on experience supporting high-end theatres and screening rooms, we’re immersed in new technology daily, digital or otherwise. Digital cinema upgrades are ideal for many environments but not all. We’d be glad to work with you to identify the best solution and then design and install the equipment for your environment.

 

We’re not just there for the big guys

BL&S supports a wide range of clients, from small independent theatres and local colleges to global film festivals and world premieres.
