Author Topic: What Projection equipment does your Theater Use ? Eric Webb Film Handler Posts: 40 From: Atlanta GA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-09-2005 02:06 AM                     What Equipment does your theater uses for projection and sound? If you can, tell the Equipment make and model like a Christie P35C projector; and tell if you think it is good or not and why. Also state where and what the theater is called  |  IP: Logged David Yauch Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Mesa, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-09-2005 03:09 AM                     Harkins Superstition Springs 25 Mesa, Arizona All setups are Christie AW3s with Cinemec V5s. All theatres are equipped with DTS capabilities(no sdds). The sound processors are CP500s. AW3 MUTs are used as well.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-09-2005 03:40 AM                     Reel Theatres 5 locations, one in Nampa, 3 in Boise Idaho, and one in Ontario, ORE. Strong X-90 consoles Simplex 1050 (3, 1014's, and 3 1050's at one theatre) Simplex 5 Star Strong A3/AP3 platters Dolby CP-55 with DA-20s CAT-700's Ultra Stereo J-1000 units Ultra Stereo center/surround units (these blow big time..) DTS 6/6D units Ontario: Strong X-90 consoles Simplex Mil2000 (with manual turrets) Simplex 5 star Strong AP3 platters CP-500's CAT-701's all platters using the microswitch brains (damned things...) just have to watch out for those diodes in the motors shorting out, otherwise a decent platter, but nowhere close to the CHR AW3/R units. The manual turret configuration for the Mil2000 blows a big one: with that turret rotation release lever jutting out there like nobodys business, one can really lose an eye when focusing through a small single port window. -thx Monte  |  IP: Logged Gary Crawford Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: Neptune NJ USA Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-10-2005 08:43 PM                     Beach Cinema, 110 Main St., Bradley Beach NJ.
