NCR intros Slimline 85 with cinema interface

April 9, 2013

NCR Corp. today announced the NCR Slimline 85 for cinema, a digital signage kiosk designed to give moviegoers the ability to purchase tickets and order concession items.

The Slimline 85 with cinema interface offers performance improvements over previous models. The 32-inch touchscreen can display multimedia movie art and trailers for an engaging way to buy tickets and pay for concessions, the announcement said.

Other features include:

• Enhanced multimedia graphics on a 32-inch touch-screen
• Redesigned user interface
• "Crosstown" sales capability; the kiosk can be placed in central shopping locations to drive ticket sales for multiple theatres of the same brand
• Ability for users to view movie trailers and pay with credit cards and/or gift cards
• An integrated QR code reader allowing for online ticket retrieval and pick up from the kiosk

NCR displayed the retail model of the kiosk, the NCR SelfServ 85 Slimline, at last year's Customer Engagement Technology World. (Click here to see the video). The cinema model will have its debut at CinemaCon at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, April 15-18.
