HOLLYWOOD, Calif. and MORELIA, Mexico, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MasterImage 3D, Inc., a provider of pioneering 3D solutions for theaters, announced today that its digital 3D cinema systems will be deployed by Cinepolis, the fourth largest exhibitor circuit in the world and the largest outside of the United States.  Through the agreement, MasterImage 3D's new MI-CLARITY3D digital 3D system and MI-1000 dual projection 3D glass filters will be used in cinemas throughout Mexico and Brazil.

Operating 275 theaters with more than 2,500 screens across Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Peru and India, Cinepolis is an early adopter of digital technology for Latin America and has already rolled out digital cinema solutions for more than a quarter of its screens across the Latin American region.

The MI-CLARITY3D digital cinema system is the new flagship offering from MasterImage 3D, designed in three models for varying projection booths.  Like its predecessor, it offers high-quality 3D presentation and is available through a compelling ownership-based pricing model.  Unique to the MI-CLARITY3D is increased light efficiency, full system automation and improved styling.  The MasterImage MI-1000 glass filters are universal and work optimally with MasterImage 3D glasses for oversized screen installations.
