Five-Year Rollout To Bring Low-Resolution Digital To Cities, Provinces
China To Install 2,500 E-Projectors

SHANGHAI, China – The government-owned China Film Group (CFG) announced in February plans to have 2,500 electronic projectors up and running over the next five years.

Sources indicate the Chinese projectors will not be true d-cinema projectors, but rather more akin to low-resolution e-projectors frequently utilized for on-screen cinema advertising in the United States.

CFG general manager Yang Buting indicated that 500 of the 2,500 e-projectors would be situated in urban areas, with the balance earmarked for rural locales.

The new equipment will be capable of projecting DVDs, as well as high- and standard-definition TV.
