TecVision Stuns in Utah Home Cinema
November 11, 2015
Matthew Irvin knew he had his work cut out for him when he was approached by a very particular client for a special home cinema job in Park City, Utah.
“The customer needed more “wow” in the room, according to Irvin, who is the president of Audioworks in Salt Lake City, Utah. “The screen before was 163” diagonal, but didn’t fill the space. He wanted every inch of the opening filled while still having a nice background for stage performances.”
That’s because the space in question is more than your basic dedicated home theatre. It’s also a performance space. In addition to private viewing, Irvin says the customer uses it for their own mini Sundance-style film festival for kids, as well as for huge karaoke parties.
“We were working with the tightest tolerances and HAD to meet the customer’s expectations,” Irvin says. “First of all, because he wanted every inch of the opening filled, we decided the only way to accommodate was with a motorized screen.”
Irvin went with the Draper Premier, a tab-tensioned surface mounted screen which is often also built in to soffits or concealed behind a decorative, finished wall. But what viewing surface to go in the Premier case? Because of the customer’s high expectations, and the need for an acoustically transparent material, Irvin recommended 4K-ready TecVision Nano Perf XT1300X White, with an extra wide viewing cone, typical contrast, and on-axis gain of 1.3. To fill the opening as required took a 227.25 inch 16:9 format screen.
