Essential Install | Habitech Projecta's new Parallax screens reject ambient light for a great picture in living environments Panamorph's UltraWide lenses will realise the original 2.4:1 aspect ratio of new film releases for an authentic cinema experience at home Habitech's new Palladio Firenze seating gives you the flexibility to design the ideal seating plan and the comfort that inspires home cinema immersion up the widest screens with HDR for unmatched realism in picture quality. What’s more, the Laser Diode provides instant light output control according to the scene’s brightness, delivering a picture that approaches the perception of the human eye with a contrast ratio of infinity:1! There are insufficient superlatives to describe JVC’s latest projector design and I’m looking forward to demonstrating its capabilities to you and your customers. The DLA-Z1 is sure to be the perfect partner for Projecta’s new Parallax 0.8 ambient light-rejecting projection screen technology, designed for the widest range of room scenarios – even daytime viewing. It features an advanced optical lens system created to reject rather than diffuse light. Available from Habitech on a range of fixed frame screens in 16:9 and Ultra-wide 2.35:1 aspect ratios, the new screen fabric comprises multiple micro-layers to achieve its ambient light blocking properties, which result in punchier detail, colour and brightness in higher ambient light conditions and at wider viewing angles. The DLA-Z1’s laser light accuracy on a Parallax screen promises to be the industry’s ultimate high performance combo, particularly where customers demand installations with the versatility needed for TV, games and cinema in living environments. And within the height restrictions of the UK room, the only way to recreate the big screen adventure is to install an ultra-wide screen. US specialist Panamorph’s new Paladin and Phoenix lenses convert every leading projector model to the full cinema UltraWide aspect ratio of at least 70% of all new film releases. The black bars visible on 16:9 screens are removed and in the process over two million pixels are reclaimed for a 4K UHD picture (over half a million for HD projection), delivering higher brightness and higher definition from the display device. In this way Panamorph’s new lenses improve the visual performance of the entire home theatre investment by over 30%. Perfect comfort Only when the audience is sitting comfortably can the immersive chemistry of home cinema begin. We offer a choice of two seat ranges: Palladio Firenze and Salamander. The new Palladio Firenze range of powered seating in beautiful black leather has been specified by Habitech to optimise the definitive sensations of bespoke home cinema, meeting standards of performance, reliability and support that exemplify luxury. Complete with responsive pocket sprung support, the modular format gives you all the permutations you’ll need to create the perfect bespoke seating design for any room. Alongside the single seat, the left and right arm models combine in a typical ‘love seat’ arrangement or as a luxury curved twin seat with the angled wedge in between. Introduce the armless seat to extend the curved design to three seats or use the straight wedge in a uniform threeseater row. Beyond Palladio the high-end Salamander ranges offer three design styles in a variety of options such as covers, stitching, choice of materials and even cup holders for the ultimate in bespoke fit and finish. With the support of Habitech’s high tech product line-up, training, demonstration rooms and design services you’ll have the power to create the magical union of audio, video and comfort that delivers true cinema immersion in your customer’s home. Whatever the challenges, we’re on your side and at your service. More Information: Habitech +44 (0)1256 638500 www.habitech.co.uk 18 | September 2016 Habitech
