NCR Corp. and MOD Systems announced they are bringing digital movies to travelers with the first Download2Go digital kiosks at 20 InMotion Entertainment stores in 12 U.S. airports. Travelers now can download digital movies to Secure Digital (SD) cards in about two minutes, the partners reported.
Consumers can own or rent new release and catalog titles for playback on Windows computers. The movies never need to be returned.
Download2Go kiosks are now deployed in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Denver International, John F Kennedy International, Lambert-St. Louis International, Los Angeles International, Memphis International, Phoenix Sky Harbor, Sacramento International, Salt Lake City International, San Antonio International, San Francisco International and Seattle-Tacoma International airports. The digital kiosks will be installed in additional airports and InMotion stores over the course of the next year. NCR and MOD Systems completed the first installations in Atlanta and Seattle on July 16.
Download2Go kiosks offer consumers the first opportunity to purchase or rent digital movies in GreenPlay format by transferring content to portable SD cards, and watching on Windows PCs and a growing number of consumer electronics devices. In addition to digital movies, consumers will be able to download television shows to SD cards, and music tracks and albums to flash drives and directly to MP3 players this fall.
Download2Go kiosks allow InMotion customers to select from more than 2,600 movies from several major and independent film studios. Pricing for most movie rentals is $3.99, and purchases range from $12.99 to $19.99. For movie rentals, consumers have 30 days from purchase to watch, and once the movie rental is started, can watch as many times as they like for 48 hours for most titles.
Consumers can use (and reuse) their own SD memory cards to download movies or purchase a card in the InMotion store. Consumers can play movies on Windows PCs and televisions (using the GreenPlay Digital Media Player) with support for additional consumer electronics devices in the future.
NCR and MOD Systems are expanding the Download2Go digital kiosk beyond airports, providing customers with convenient and affordable access to their favorite entertainment titles in locations nationwide.
MOD Systems' Retail Digital Entertainment Platform enables retailers to deliver digital entertainment to consumers through self-service, touch-screen kiosks. The company's growing entertainment catalog includes licenses for nearly 4,000 major and independent movie titles and television programs, and more than five million music tracks.
