EclairColor technology offers cinemas the opportunity to significantly improve their projection quality at minimal cost. Far from being elitist, this new technology, based on a range of projectors already in use in many cinemas, is accessible to all exhibitors, said Ymagis Group founder, chairman & CEO Jean Mizrahi. EclairColor projectors have been designed to offer exhibitors greater programming flexibility, as they can be used to show either 2K or 4K content in both standard DCI format and in EclairColor.

With Dalida' in EclairColor, audiences will discover an unprecedented image quality with richer colours and heightened details that reflect the colorimetry originally envisioned by the film's creative teams, said Maxime Rigaud, Managing Director, CinemaNext France. We are thrilled with our ongoing partnership with Les Cin mas Gaumont Path . This latest EclairColor installation comes just a few weeks after our teams equipped the Gaumont Champs-Elys es, a strong sign of their confidence in this new technology.

Developed by Ymagis Group engineers, EclairColor is a revolutionary digital color solution that combines a post-production process innovated by Eclair with the optimization of select projection system technologies available from CinemaNext.
