The Sony system is also compliant with all of the specifications of Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) for digital motion picture projection.
'As exhibitors continue to realize the benefits of digital cinema, it's critical that all the necessary security and content management tools be readily available in one easy-to-install package,' said John Kaloukian, director of marketing for display systems at Sony Electronics. 'This new system can provide that user-friendliness and peace-of-mind, while enabling a smooth transition from current projection technologies.'

Specific functions include: JPEG2000 decoding, security key management, extraction of audio and visual images from MXF files, alpha channel insertion for sub-titles, and audio and image watermarking.
The media block also features 16 audio channels. It can be connected to generic Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) storage units.
