NOTE:AUDIO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE CINEMA LOBBY SHOW. CONTACT YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGER FOR DETAILS.
UP-CONVERSIONAn HD up-conversion service is available, however standard-definition creative submitted for up-conversion must be of very high quality and will be subject to quality inspection. Despite all possible care being taken, the reformatting process will soften the image somewhat.
PRE-SHOW VS. LOBBY SHOW
If you have a contract for both the Pre-Show and CinemaLobby Show, you can upload one file for both. In addition,you can submit two different creatives if, for example,you would like to add burnt-in subtitles because theCinema Lobby Show does not play audio. Please ensurethe creative is being uploaded with their respective shownames in the file name.
ASPECT RATIOCreative submitted with an aspect ratio other than 16x9 for the Cinema Lobby Show, (e.g. 4x3, or 1.85:1) will be re-formatted for presentation on screen. To avoid pillarboxing or letterboxing, please provide artwork compliant with our specs by creative deadline.

4X4 SCREEN
LCD SCREEN BEZEL
• The Cinema Lobby Show has multiple screen configurations; the scheduling system plays creative simultaneously on all screens in the lobby at once.
• The multi-screen formats contain bezels* of various widths.
• All locations have single screen uninterrupted displays, as well as a variety of matrix formats.
• For more details on configuration of the Lobby Show, please reach out to [email protected].
QUICK FACTS
3X3 SCREEN
SINGLE SCREEN
2X2 SCREEN
*Bezel Definition: A monitor bezel, or screen bezel, is the area of a display that surrounds the screen. For example, if a monitor has a 27mm bezel, the screen is surrounded by 27mm of plastic or metal.
BEST PRACTICEThe best practice we recommend is that creative be designed to incorporate enlarged text, logos, and/or graphics that are displayed with a broad range of motion across the screen. This will ensure that all visual elements can be showcased regardless of the bezels between screens of 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 matrix displays.
