Jordan's IMAX Theater
Jordan's Imax Theater - Natick, Massachusetts
The project at Jordans Imax Theater featured the integration of a number of audiovisual and video technologies into the existing theater. HB's design featured three video, rack mounted playback devices. Additionally, there are two DVD players with component and audio outputs that work with digital and analog output.
The design included three touch panels, one rack mounted and one desk style. The desk unit can be moved to the stage for general presentation (with show pages locked out). Additional AV functions can be monitored with this control system. These different controls were organized and programmed by HB:
- Projector-on/off and left right lens shift
- Switcher source selection
- VCR and DVD players
- Transport functions
- HD receiver
- Lexicon decoder
- Relay closures as required of the IMAX DTAC system
An audio mixing board was table-mounted in the rear portion of the room. Input to the mixing board and from the five microphone outputs was accomplished with the IMAX DTAC system. Direct digital audio connects from two DVD players to a Lexicon decoder. The Lexicon is directly connected to the IMAX DTAC system (six channels).
One high brightness projector with left and right lens shift was installed as well. The projector is mounted on a custom stand. It projects on the left side of the screen and is able to move the image toward the center during a corporate event. One connection from the stage enables laptop connection to the switcher, thus allowing computer display during a corporate event.
One rack mounted local PC is connected to the switcher (PC supplied by others) and the output projected. One presentation switcher is used to route the above signals to the high brightness projector. The switcher outputs to a VGA LCD monitor and route analog audio to booth speakers and audio mixing board..
