System upgrades that our clients request most frequently
When we put together the component list for an Open Air Cinema complete outdoor movie system, we draw on our 20+ years of organizing outdoor movie events, and on what we learn from our wide network of clients and outdoor-projection professionals.
The result is that when you buy our complete outdoor movie system, you get a well-rounded solution. Still, every outdoor movie setup has its own needs, and our team is always happy to discuss customization and upgrades. Below are the upgrades we make most often for clients — perhaps one will inspire you.
Brighter projector and 4K resolution
Projector brightness is one of the most important specs — it drives both price and image quality. More brightness lets you start the event a little earlier, use the same projector across different screen sizes (the bigger the screen, the brighter the projector needs to be), and creates an overall impression of higher quality.
The Open Air Cinema Pro lineup includes a standard laser-light-source projector, while the Home complete systems come with a standard bulb projector for affordability. Many Home clients request an upgrade to a laser projector, and some who don't want to cut corners on image quality request a high-end 4K projector.
More speakers and a subwoofer
Deep, powerful bass is what creates a truly cinematic experience under the stars, so one of the most frequent audio requests is adding a subwoofer to the portable audio system (PA) that comes with the movie system. Adding another pair of speakers to the standard stereo pair is great for large venues and for distributing audio evenly to all viewers. Outdoor movie systems benefit from an active-speaker design — the amplifier is built into the speaker — so adding another pair is as easy as bringing extra speaker cables: just run an audio output from one speaker to the input on the next.
Gaming console upgrade
As mentioned, there are countless uses for an outdoor movie system. You can run a video-gaming tournament or simply enjoy your favorite game on a huge projection screen — and we can build a gaming console right into the Cinebox™ for you.
Laptop shelf
Many event professionals like to run their content from a laptop, mixing the main feature with sponsor ads and promos. For the most convenient laptop use, we can build a rack-mounted laptop shelf into the media console.
