Nuovocinemadigitale.it is the first Italian website dedicated to digital cinema technologies. The editors have, in fact, the goal of riding the 'wave' of these new technologies. The outlook of the cinemas are changing like the range of entertainment, the quality and the perception of the audience. Yesterday multiplex, today multimedia.

Digital content, as well as a movie, can be a live contribution that means more options to the audience. The new digital movies or tv productions can be pushed on servers: it's easy to transmit and receive, possibly via satellite.

This specialized website is designed to update consumers and professionals with news, presentations of technological tools and new content, first of all the 3D. Topics will include latest models of cinema projectors, the most innovative software or hardware, screens, adaptations for the new cinemas, models of stereoscopic glasses and more.
