DENVER, March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Screen Digital(TM) will debut its 100% high-definition digital pre-feature network at the prestigious ShoWest 2005 Convention. Motion picture professionals from around the world will experience the extraordinary Big Screen Digital advertainment pre-show program at Bally's Paris Las Vegas.

Both in-theatre and in-lobby systems with advertainment will be demonstrated in the Big Screen Digital theatre at ShoWest. Big Screen Digital's DTN is the first 100% true high-definition delivery system for theatres modeled after a broadcast environment.

"Big Screen Digital set-out to enhance the movie going experience by developing the next generation of pre-feature advertainment," stated Justin Allen, Founder and Interim CEO of Big Screen Digital. "We are proud of our new high-definition standard and are delighted to show motion-picture professionals how fantastic movie trailers and other content look and sound on our Digital Theatre Network."
