ADDE’s technical department completed its EclairColor HDR certification last week, which in return allows the company to sell, install and service EclairColor-compatible projection systems.

The EclairColor certification program qualifies third-party companies to oversee the installation of EclairColor-enabled projection systems following an extensive training process.

"We are delighted with this new cooperation with ADDE, one of the leading system integrators in France," explains Simon Eyriès, EclairColor Project Manager. "ADDE and Ymagis Group’s EclairColor certification program have mutual ambitions when it comes to quality, cost and innovation. This collaboration will allow us to extend our deployment of EclairColor-compliant projection systems, hence offering cinema exhibitors a larger selection of cost-effective, customized and optimum screening solutions. This marks another important step in the acceleration of the deployment of our HDR cinema solution in France and confirms our strategy to further open the EclairColor HDR business model.

“We are happy to be the first third-party integrators to have the opportunity to expand our service portfolio through this certification and offer our clients an even greater selection of technologies and services,” adds Marion Rosset, ADDE Chief Executive Officer.
