Hollywood has done it to us once more. All of our widescreens now have black bars on them again because Hollywood is filming with even wider formats. No worries-New screen, projector and lens technologies allow for building your system so that you can take full advantage of these new wide formats and see the movie as it was intended. A specialized screen with motorized masking bars and an outboard “anamorphic” lens will bring you the best in widescreen entertainment known as 2.35:1
Now you can get a bigger, better Bruce!
The Bat Cave home theater has been featured in trade and shelter magazines, contests, blogs and reviews over the years, most notably, the trade source CEPro. Their website is currently featuring “Spot Light on Home Theater” and the Bat Cave Theater appears once again as a ‘Favorite Themed Home Theater’. First of all, we offer many, many thanks to CEPro and writer, Arlen Schweiger for recognizing this very special project. Next, we thought you would enjoy learning about the recent upgrades which updated the theater to 2010 audio video standards.
The legacy 3 gun sony CRT projector andFaroudja line quadrupler have been replaced with a state of the art 3 chip Digital Light Processing projector by Sim2. Check out that sexy Italian beast! The projector is now mounted with a Chief ceiling mount system. B&K Reference Audio Processor and Amplifier were upgraded to 7 channel digital amplification and THX Ultra2 Plus Preamp/processor by Integra.
We used Audyssey MultEQ Pro Calibration to achieve perfect sound in this decidedly challenging space. Viewers can now enjoy the latest video format with the addition of a Sony Blu-Ray player complete with new HDMI topology using SnapAV B7 series cables.
And lastly, we reprogrammed the Crestron control systems to incorporate these upgrades and make the system easier than ever to operate. With the touch of a button, the movie is cued up, the lights dim, the screen drops, the curtain rises,the volume adjusts and the drama begins, better than ever!
Oh-and by the way-we changed our name from DC Audio Video to DC Home Systems!
