The Constant

There are a few things that remain constant in many dedicated home theaters, such as the lifelike image in brilliant, yet natural, colors and the Dolby Atmos object-based audio. These technologies create an immersive experience that allows you to suspend your disbelief and enter the world on the big screen. 

4K native HDR projectors and wall-sized, handcrafted movie screens for various applications deliver this exceptional experience. 

A Place to Relax

Home theaters are often filled with friends and family cheering on their favorite sports teams or sitting on the edge of their seats, enthralled in the latest action-packed movie. However, one of the latest trends adds a touch of peace and tranquility. It's designed to help you remain in the present moment, letting the overactive mind drift away.

Nature scenes engulf the big screen, taking you into the depths of the Great Barrier Reef and high atop the Himalayas. IMAX-enhanced content provides an even greater immersive viewing experience. The 3D sound field envelopes you via in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, with the wind blowing around and through you and the ocean surrounding you.

A star-filled ceiling, acoustic paneling with stunning nature scenes, or innovative systems that look like the natural elements of wood and stone bring the theme together.

The Experience

Today, people are in search of an unforgettable experience. Multi-sensory design and surprising features appeal to all the senses in a home theater, creating a truly engaging and enriching environment. 

The experience starts when you enter your home theater. As soon as the theater appears, it takes your breath away with design elements that fill the space with life. It's a place of intrigue and mystery, from hidden LED lighting that transforms to millions of colors to wall sconces that look like flames.

Hidden speakers are tucked into the wall, while retractable screens and projectors hide in the ceiling.

Managing Your Home Theater

If you incorporate one or more of these design trends, you'll need a central control that makes switching from one atmosphere to another easy. A home automation system offers this ease. Press a button for your chosen activity, whether relaxing, watching sports with friends, or enjoying a movie with the family, and the projector and screen emerge, the lighting adjusts, and the sliding door closes.
