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.
