Permanent setup for projectors and screen - Your Screening Room Pictures
I really enjoy popping on a 200ft or 400ft digest, or a few trailers, whenever the feeling for a few minutes of film comes on, so I decided it would be nice to have a casual set up to supplement my main screening room with the 120 ins CinemaScope screen. Something easy to run on a smaller scale. So here is what I have now set up in my office/den. The GS1200 #2 is output to a 10 band stereo equalizer and then onto a little 3w stereo amplifier coupled to headphones. There are no speakers (yet!) as I really enjoy listening to super 8 stereo through headphones, much more directional. The screen is a 60 ins wide roll down positioned in front of a closet. Masking is four separate felt covered panels, and is manually put up for each showing and takes less than a minute to install.
Thanks Shorty! My cine room is totally functional for now. I am still using the wall for my projections and looking at various screen alternatives. I plan on replacing the patio furniture with recliner couches once it's safer to go into a furniture store. I also want to get room darkening shades. But all in all it's very comfortable and fun to watch my films and digital movies.
The pictures below were taken during the daytime so you could see the arrangement. At night when it's dark it's like sitting in a movie theater.

Amazing setup Thomas, I would never leave that room and setup if it were mine 😀. Nice decorations Janice, and nice that you’re getting help from the family, hope the interest in this hobby manages to get passed down 🤓
Hi Paul! This is a Stepper Motor with a Wormgear for only focus remote. The Zoom must be adjusted before starting the Show. But now I have an Update with a second Motor for adjusting the Frame from my Seat.
I had post my Location in the old 8mm Forum a few Years ago. But now I will try it here again.
The machines are Bauer Sonolux II for 35mm, Elmo GS 1200 with long Arms for Super 8 and Panasonic PTAT 5000 for digital Projection in 2D and 3D.
Some Pic´s are a little bit older and looking different to the actually ones.
