Fixed mounted device for theatre automated measurements (light & audio) and adjustment (focus) ensuring the best projection quality.
Theatre mounted video monitor for monitoring projection brightness, ensuring focus and audio system quality. Composed by a monochrome camera and audio class 1 microphone hardware that thanks to its dedicated software is fully integrated with the digital system environment allowing fully automated operations.
This integration with the cinema server, projector, and using custom test patterns, the Optimizer camera can live measure screen brightness and uniformity across the screen (144 unique points). The Optimizer can control and adjust the projector lens focus to achieve the peak focus and save the lens file to the projector for both flat and scope. Using the calibrated omni-directional microphone, the Optimizer can validate and ensure the theatre audio runs on the calibrated levels ensuring the best quality even with ATMOS processors.
Integration with 3rd party monitoring systems via SNMP or API commands allow for quick alerts and response times by the technical team.
