OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 17, 2013) - International Datacasting Corporation (TSX:IDC), a global leader in digital content distribution for the world's premiere broadcasters, today announces a contract with a leading European digital cinema distributor, valued in excess of USD $650,000 for the expansion of their network.

The contract includes IDC's SuperFlex Pro Video receivers and Datacast XD head end solutions, which will enable the satellite distribution of digital movie content and alternative live event content to cinemas across Europe in both 2D and 3D formats. It is estimated that over 50% of European cinema screens are now capable of digital projection. Forecasts indicate that by 2015, the market will be nearly 100% digital.

Theatre owners are able to maximize revenue streams, while minimizing content distribution costs. Cinemas can now enhance their alternative content choice, thereby expanding their audience reach.

"We are proud to work with this premiere European team in the expansion of their digital cinema network," stated Del Lippert, IDC's Interim CEO and Chairman.
