Connecting advanced technologies
with cinemas

Our
Services

Our group has pioneered digital cinema services by mastering and delivering Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) of numerous movies for showing in theaters, creating Key Delivery Messages (KDMs), and supporting distributors and exhibitors since 2000. Envisioning the advancement of video and network technologies, we have stayed one step ahead and built a track record in the delivery service to theaters.

As of April 1, 2023, Cinema Connect, Inc. will offer the service to deliver DCPs and KDMs, operationally support cinema advertisements, and install and maintain the system for content delivery to movie theaters. Cinema Connect is a newly established company and will liaise with our group companies, such as Imagica Entertainment Media Services, Inc.

Message

Cinema Connect offers
a Digital Cinema Package delivery service
for movie theaters.

We receive movies and other video content from film distributors and deliver them safely, surely, and speedily to movie theaters across Japan.

The company was named Cinema Connect to reflect our thoughts, an aspiration of a technical service provider to support and pass on to the future the movie-making processes of production, distribution, and exhibition through servicing our customers with a high-added value that would enhance their business efficiency and productivity.

We are excited to launch our newly developed DCP delivery service for movie theaters. This service is founded on our group’s expertise and track record—the operational expertise cultivated over the years as a film laboratory, delivering film prints and digital media, and the track record as Japan’s digital cinema pioneer.

With the hope to play an integral role in further developing the movie and video content industry, we will liaise with Imagica Entertainment Media Service and other group companies and work with devotion. Your continued support will be sincerely appreciated, and we look forward to working with you.
