GDC Technology Limited (GDC) is showcasing a wide range of technologies at CineEurope 2026, including HDR cinema LED, speckle-suppression, wide-angle and high-gain PET screen, 64-channel DTS:X renderer that supports IAB standard, laser illumination, and a media server that scales beyond 8K resolution. Attendees visiting GDC at Suite MR 131 (Level P1, CCIB) can experience live demonstrations of the company’s latest cinema solutions.
In addition to the CineEurope showcase, invited exhibitors will have the opportunity to experience the Tricorne Premium LED at Odeon Multicines in Madrid. The installation features the first and largest fully acoustically transparent HDR cinema LED in Europe, a 17-meter fully acoustically transparent HDR Cinema LED screen and serves as a real-world demonstration of next-generation premium HDR cinema presentation. Tricorne Premium LED now represents more than 25 installed and committed projects worldwide, including installations across Australia, China, Germany, India, Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and the United States.
Odeon Multicines’ flagship PLF cinema in Sambil, Madrid, was installed in December 2025 and has been screening multiple HDR titles over the past six months. The project was delivered through close collaboration among GDC, Tricorne Premium LED, and Equipo de Cine, the local system integrator. Despite the installation’s scale and complexity, the complete system was delivered within a 30-day timeline by a four-person technical team.
“This installation marks a game-changing milestone for our premium cinema strategy,” said D. Luis C. Millán, CEO and owner of Odeon Multicines Sambil, Madrid, “By pairing HDR cinema LED with true acoustic transparency, we’re bringing European audiences something completely new – the visual brilliance of Direct View HDR, perfectly paired with the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos.”
“From an integration perspective, this project demonstrated that large-format acoustically transparent LED can be deployed efficiently without compromising performance,” said Juan García, CTO of Equipo de Cine. “The combination of modular design, precise alignment, and a certified playback ecosystem allowed us to meet both technical and operational targets within a very tight schedule.”
“This project is proof that LED cinema has come of age,” said Dr. Man-Nang Chong, the founder and CEO of GDC Technology. “A fully DCI-certified, acoustically transparent LED solution at this scale isn’t just a technical achievement – it’s a game-changer for exhibitors and audiences alike. The HDR visuals we’re delivering here simply cannot be achieved with conventional projection technology.”
HOYTS also hosted an experience showcase debuting its new premium cinema format APEX at HOYTS Melbourne Central and HOYTS Karrinyup. The Tricorne Premium LED screen forms the visual centerpiece of APEX, integrating Dolby Atmos, premium seating, and purpose-designed lighting to deliver a unique and immersive movie experience. HOYTS Karrinyup boasts a 25 meters wide by 11 meters tall screen, powered by over 24 million pixels, and is currently the world’s largest cinema LED screen operating in a commercial multiplex. The HOYTS Melbourne Central screen is 21 meters wide by 9 meters tall with over 17 million pixels.
Dr Man Nang Chong highlighted, “HOYTS APEX is powered by our latest micro-perforated, HDR (“High Dynamic Range) LED technology, delivering the most advanced big screen experience available today. It offers 30 times better picture contrast and millions more pixels than traditional cinema projection, creating a level of immersion and precision unlike anything Australian cinemagoers have experienced before.”
Damian Keogh, CEO and President of HOYTS Group, added “What sets APEX apart is its combination of a curved LED screen of spectacular scale, cutting-edge LED technology delivering true pixel perfection, and Dolby Atmos immersive sound, bringing every moment to life with remarkable clarity and depth.”
GDC will also showcase the CineUnion’s OMIS White 2.2 Screen, the 64-channel AIB-4000 DTS:X for IAB cinema processor, and its latest media server technologies. Additional technologies on display include the CineUnion Pure RGB Laser Light Upgrade (LLU), DTS Surround Cinema solutions, Enterprise software and theatre management solutions, as well as Content storage and cinema automation technologies.
“Exhibitors worldwide are doubling down on premium cinema experiences — and for good reason. It’s what sets the big screen apart from streaming at home,” said Dr Man Nang Chong, “At CineEurope 2026, we’re proud to unveil technologies that push the boundaries of visual quality, immersive sound, and media server intelligence. Our mission is simple: give exhibitors the tools to wow audiences every single time they walk into the theater.”
