ENVIRONMENT
Developing a corporate experience with a live immersive environment that hosts the latest in cinema and media content playback was the goal of IMT’s client.

In parallel, redundant digital cinema LASER projectors that provide the ability to playback DCP (2D / 3D) cinema content that is fully integrated into the environment.
The deployment of redundant 2D with 3D capable digital LASER cinema projectors, providing playback of DCI / DCP Hollywood generated cinema content; from new releases to archived content. Cinema playback via a 26.5’ x 11’ scope cinema screen with masking.
