IDC can help cinema companies, both large and small, move from simply showing 35-mm films to becoming hubs of entertainment activity providing everything from movies, old and new; training; special events; and interactive showings. The unique qualities of satellite broadcast — point-to-multipoint delivery anytime, anywhere — make it the perfect choice for distributing feature films, trailers, advertisements, and alternative content to theatres to geographically dispersed theatres. Based on the interoperable DVB-S2 platform, IDC solutions offer higher orders of modulation and forward error correction — offering a choice of bandwidth savings or higher speed delivery of up to 50% over previous levels. IDC’s complete end-to-end solutions for the delivery of both file encoded movies as well as streamed live events feature multiple layers of encryption for extra security, built-in "on the fly" forward error correction, conditional access, direct screening from an LED projector, and DVB-S2 8PSK or 16APSK delivery.
