Kinepolis Deploys the SmartJog Central Library Solution for Storage and
Digital Cinema Delivery to Its Theaters in Europe

PARIS, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartJog, the leader in managed digital delivery
workflows worldwide, is pleased to announce that European exhibitor, Kinepolis
Group, has selected SmartJog's Digital Cinema Central Library Servers to use
in all of its 23 theaters. Kinepolis will purchase and install the Digital
Cinema Central Library Servers which are capable of storing large amount of
content as well as receiving Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) via satellite and
fiber.

"Kinepolis has been using the SmartJog system for a few years now to receive
advertising content from Mediavision, as well as cinema trailers which are
digitally sent via the SmartJog network to our Cinemas in France," says Bob
Claeys, Research and Development Director for Kinepolis Group. "Since we are
actively rolling-out digital equipment in all of our Cinemas in France,
Belgium and Spain, it was essential for us to find a solution capable of
scalability in terms of storage and digital delivery."

Claeys continues, "Therefore, we have opted for the SmartJog "all-in-one"
solution of high-end storage and digital delivery solution. Since it's already
compatible with the equipment in our cinemas such as our Dolby servers, the
SmartJog Central Library allows us to store content received in our
multiplexes without the need to add multiple reception and storage equipment.
The flexibility of the SmartJog solution also lets us manage the delivery of
our own promotional content to all of our cinemas in Europe seamlessly."

By the beginning of 2010, all of Kinepolis Group Cinemas will be equipped with
the SmartJog 12 or 8 terabyte Central Library servers and will benefit from
SmartJog's fully managed digital delivery service. With this announcement,
SmartJog is proud to announce that it has now connected 537 screens in Europe.
