The trend is yet another concession to design-conscious consumers, who are showing strong interest in flatpanel displays but shunning add-on loudspeakers and sound systems. more>>

Western Showcase Theater
 The client's mandate for this theater project was to blend Old West design with his sprawling 24,000ft. ranch's existing architecture. The proscenium features a retracting "fire screen" mural made from a turn-of-the-century image purchased from Wyoming State Archives. Footlights wash the mural's surface with an aged sepia look and retract along with the stage over drapes during movie presentations. The double-height ceiling, running from 12ft. at the low end to 23ft. at the high end, offered a unique design opportunity for installer Definitive Electonic Solutions to have the aft portion of the theater house a sky dome, with a dusk-to-dawn fiber-optic system complete with shooting star, constellation, and color fade from sunrise to sunset, and a wagon-wheel floating soffit system complete with special lighting effects throughout. more>>
