Movies whisk us away and immerse us in times and places wonderfully removed from our everyday lives. The Theatre experience, brought into our home via the Home Theater Projector and available on our timetable, can be one of the most rewarding investments one can make in relaxation and whole family entertainment.
Home Theater Projectors & Front Projection Systems
The no holds barred theater will always have a front projection system. Flat panel TV’s are great. But, no matter how large or what technology, they define the room as a media room, not a dedicated Home Theater. Theaters have projectors and wall size screens!
The projection system is crucial to that ultimate Home Theater experience. Our consultants are here to help you design your Dream Home Theater by integrating the latest projection technology that exceeds the visual performance of going out to a movie theater, and offers a bigger image at the seating position too!
Home Theater Projectors: Technical Requirements
It’s important to know the technical requirements for a projector in your Home Theater project from the initial design stages. Projection mounting, or throw distance, relate directly to the projector and screen mounting height and absolute aspect ratio. If you intend to use an Anamorphic lens at any time – meaning initially or some time in the future – that needs to be considered in the beginning to avoid unwanted cost and work.
Technology advances in the front projection arena yearly. Therefore, front projection is an area we have been involved in for decades. We are your ongoing resource to ensure the result is at least everything you expect, and a retrofit is all you expect too.
