Theatre Install

In the early 1990s, VTA researched and designed an automated video playback system for small theaters that could offer many benefits to our clients, including:

Automated playback system frees an employee from hourly repetitive operation of the projector.
Multiple programs stored within the system as backup copies as well as subtitled versions in other languages and for the hearing-impaired.
Acceptance of various formats of audio & video—HD with Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, composite analog video and 2-channel audio, or 601 digital video with AES 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound.
Automated or manual control of every facet of the theater experience from raising and lowering the lighting, opening and closing curtains and doors, making announcements, and playing specific features at prescribed times throughout the day.
Ability to use the system for special cinema-based exhibits or for guest lecturers to utilize with programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint
Audio and controller that can interface with P.A./announce systems to playback pre-recorded or live announcements as to when the next show will start and when the facility will be closing.

With theater design that has been refined over the years to always feature the latest technology for video display and sound, customized for each client’s particular needs within their theater, VTA has designed and installed systems for many clients, among them Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources locations such as the Little White House and Okefenokee Swamp; USDA Forest Service parks in Alaska, Arkansas, and California; the Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum; and the Federal Reserve Bank.
