Theatre Management System

RosettaBridge

There are a number of different TMS solutions on the market today. What makes RosettaBridge stand out is that it's developed to support all DCI approved playback servers and projectors.

This provides users with a single interface for controlling and scheduling all screens, regardless of what equipment the screens might have. The system stores KDMs, features, trailers, advertising and other content in a local library for easy administration.

All functions and content are controlled through an easy to use and simple interface that allows for multiple simultaneous users.
Another unique feature of the RosettaBridge is its functionality for centralised booking and distribution of JPEG2000 advertising.

This function is available in the RosettaBridge advertising module.
RosettaBridge is also fully integrated with Unique Digital’s automation system (IQ Control). This integration allows complete control of all functions related to cinema operation within a single interface.
The platform independent touch friendly TMS system RosettaBridge has a long list of features that include PDA interface, role based access, key validity calendar, extensive advertising integration, VPF data collection and much much more.

Automation

IQ-Control

IQ Control bridges the gap between your current base of cinema technology and your new D-cinema equipment. IQ Control is the most flexible automation system ever introduced to the cinema industry.

It can be supplied as a plug-in to the Unique RosettaBridge TMS or as a stand-alone automation system. The software is characterised by an intuitive graphic user interface, which is as easy to use as it is flexible and configurable. The client software can be combined with a touchpanel PC (standard or wireless), offering powerful remote control and monitoring features.
The touchpanel can also be configured as a scene-based conference control unit, rendering additional and costly control systems superfluous.
When installed as a plug-in to the RosettaBridge TMS, IQ Control makes it possible to perform all scheduling and show builds through one common user interface. Not one single piece of cinema equipment will require a separate control path.

The hardware core of the system is a server-grade computer along with an industry grade PLC. An unlimited number of client PCs can be connected to the system. IQ Control can communicate with other equipment in a number of ways, including TCP/IP, RS-232, ModBus, dry relay inputs and dry relay outputs. Other protocols can be implemented upon request.
The software is supplied with support for the most widely used cinema equipment, including D-cinema projectors and servers from all leading manufacturers as well as other equipment such as Dolby audio processors, Yamaha multi-processors, masking control systems, etc.
IQ Control can be purchased with a software maintenance plan, which provides software updates for products which will be installed in the future (pending that Unique is provided with the relevant products' API). Consequently, IQ Control will be constantly updated to a changing operating environment, ensuring that the investment is future proof.

Doremi

Doremi is a leading developer and manufacturer of video disk recorders and video servers for the broadcast, post production, digital cinema and ProAv markets.

Established in 1985 by Camille Rizko, the Los Angeles based company's first product was the DAWN workstation for audio post production.

Dolby 3D

Dolby 3D Digital Cinema is an extension of Dolby Digital Cinema, a powerful, flexible, and reliable technology. Dolby 3D Digital Cinema ensures that your audiences enjoy a richer, more compelling 3D experience, with realistic colour and a sharper, clearer image from every seat in the house.

It's the kind of experience that drives dramatic box office performance and produces a new level of audience excitement.
Dolby 3D Digital Cinema retains compatibility with 2D presentations, so there's no need for a dedicated 3D auditorium. In fact, alternating between 3D and 2D presentations is easy.
Better still, Dolby 3D Digital Cinema uses a standard white screen and a standard digital cinema projector (with a simple accessory), minimizing your investment while eliminating technical issues and compromises. And Dolby's reusable 3D glasses are lightweight, comfortable, and environmentally friendly.
For content creators, Dolby 3D Digital Cinema simplifies the creation and distribution of mind-blowing 3D movies, because there's no need for additional colour correction or other compensation processes in postproduction. That means distributors can master and distribute a single digital file that can be played in both 3D and 2D auditoriums.
