Digital vanguard: Asian market leads the way in d-cinema deployments

In 2011, Asia (and in particular China) continues to lead the global market with digital conversions being driven by a boom in new cinema construction as well as the ongoing retrofit of existing cinemas. Currently, the Asia region has approximately 7,000 digital screens. China alone has around 3,000 new screens either planned or under construction. China, India, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries are the most rapidly expanding cinema markets.
