Pulse Cinemas says
it is set to continue
helping installers
deliver some of the
best results around
Daniel J Sait auditions some of the products and companies that can
cast some light on achieving greatness in the home movie world.
Pulse Cinemas has been fighting the good fight to
promote high standards in home cinemas for many years
now. Ten years ago the company began bringing brands
like Screen Research to the UK, helping to promote the
concept of perforated screens and in turn helping audio
quality. Growing in popularity, Screen Research now offers
many types of solutions for installers, made in Poland
and shipped direct to the UK. The brand also has a handy
configuration tool which makes specifying screens easier
and Pulse also of course offers its full support and advice
service. Pulse Cinemas now has four Screen Research
examples on demo at the company HQ in Stansted.
Pulse also recently announced a new partnership with
UK manafacturer Digital Projection, leaving many asking
what the company had in store. At this year’s CEDIA
convention in Dallas, Digital Projection showcased several
new innovations which should excite home cinema
dealers. Pulse is currently undergoing a cinema re-fit
(scheduled to be finished by the time of publication) to
accommodate some of these advances.
Kapes Patel, technical sales director at Pulse, sums up:
“Great things are ahead for Digital Projection. Dealer/
installers looking for a one stop shop, for the finest menu
of distributed brands will be left delighted by the mouthwatering upgrades being installed before the Christmas
holidays at Pulse Cinemas HQ.” Pulse urges all interested
parties to get in touch and make an appointment to check
out all the new upgrades.
Distriubutor AWE is keen to underline the capabilities
of Epson’s laser projector which is also HDR compatible.
The EH-LS10500 features 3LCD reflective panels,
4K-enhancement, a laser light source and support for
Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and other HDR sources. The
manafacturer says the 3LCD reflective panels and the
dual laser light source combine to produce a wide colour
gamut and its deepest blacks to date. Smooth images are
promoted due to the unit’s high aperture and high-speed
motion responses especially during fast moving scenes.
As well as supporting UHD BD disc/HDR compatibility,
the unit can upscale 1080p content to 4K and also has
ISF calibration on-board. Epson adds that the laser light
source also enables a very wide colour space, covering
RGB, DCI and Adobe RGB spaces and a long life of
around 30,000 hours in Eco mode. Dual lasers also mean
a quick start up time of just 20 seconds. Other home
cinema friendly functions include lens shutter, hidden
control panel, almost silent fan and a wide lens shift for
off-centre positioning. The EH-LS10500 also has lens
position memory pre-sets for up to 10 different settings
up to 2.4:1.
