What all does a movie theatre have?

What all does a movie theatre have? Seats, a huge screen and popcorn machines? Yes. But it has got a lot more behind the scene too. It has a huge ticketing system, a huge projector with sound systems. and a giant wheel to rewind the film. At more expensive theatres, you will find that they are no longer using old fashioned films, but projectors that download movies from satellites, store it locally, and play it for the audience. It is usually in real media format. There are also theatres that project live streaming, meaning the videos would be played at the server and it would be displayed in real time at several theatres.

A satellite downlink is usually used for this, not necessarily an internet satellite, but a satellite that specializes in relaying digital video signals to dish antennas placed below across its range.

Problems with online reservation

One big problem with an online reservation system is that you will have your database and files on a server that would be thousands of miles away from your place. And this would result in a deal slow down of ticket reservations. Let us say that we have a system developed and hosted in on a server that would serve a movie theatre where people would be standing in a queue at the counter to get their tickets, as well as people would be booking it online thru the website. This would mean a lot of database operations, and without a high end database server, you cant hope to have a good speed in the database operations. Apart from that, there is a latency of the time that is taken to access the servers for every database or file query. This could take a lot of time. Therefore the best way to do is to keep online and offline reservations seperate, allot seats seperately.

Or just have a reservation system, and get seats alloted at the counter like the airline people do. There are a million to EASY WAYS TO EARN CASH FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, and online ticketing is one of them. Just sign a contract with someone, and get the job done from your home, and money would come looking for you.
