- 20% of investment costs
- 15% of maintenance costs [operational]
The introduction of digital projectors to cinemas, with Integrated Media Servers (IMS) installed inside projectors, have contributed to the rise of Boothless Cinema, i.e. cinemas without projection rooms. Modern digital automation allows control of the whole film screening process and other functions in the cinema by means of smartphones and laptop computers. To operate a cinema with a boothless system, only one person per shift is required who is trained on electronics/IT. The projection room is no longer needed. The projector with IMS is placed inside a Lift or ProBox in the auditorium, on the rear wall. Other equipment and rack cabinets with sound processors and amplifiers are placed in a SERVER ROOM [providing easier access and maintenance] and are connected with auditoria by a network system.
NEW CINEMAS
- No requirement for projection rooms or associated items such as porthole windows, projector stands, racks, toilets, air conditioning, staircase, staff room etc.
- Lower rent charges resulting from a smaller cinema building footprint.
- The cinema building does not require an additional ceiling or staircase leading to the projection room. This means that it is possible for a boothless cinema to qualify as a one-storey building, with no additional fire zones.
- Consequently, fire protection requirements are reduced for the whole building. A one-storey cinema can be constructed with a more economical envelope and fire protection system.
- Total savings can amount to 20% of investments costs.
- To operate a multiplex equipped with BCS, only one person per shift is required with secondary technical education [trained on IT/electronics], who can also support other staff throughout the cinema between screenings.
- Automation controls the whole screening process in the cinema [commercials and trailers release, film screenings, light dimming, change of projection format, sound level etc].
- Overall, this can result in savings of up to 15% on the cinema operation.
REDEVELOPED CINEMAS
- With a conventional projection booth, renovation of existing cinema auditoria to incorporate increased row spacing and the installation of recliner seating, can result in an interrupted screen image. The most cost-effective solution is to install a lift or ProBox.
- A- The distance between the floor of the last step of the auditorium and the false ceiling (the acoustic ceiling)
- B- The minimum distance between the lower edge of the Lift’s projector housing and the floor of the last step cannot be less than 210 cm
- C- The height of the void between the structural ceiling of the auditorium and the false ceiling (acoustic ceiling), the area where the ventilation unit (BCVU) is installed
- D- The Lift’s track projects 27 cm from the back wall. This dimension must be included in (added to) the depth of the last step in the newly designed building. If the step is already built, seats must not be positioned under the projector lift [does not apply to ProBox H and C]
- E- The depth of the last step should be increased by 27 cm
- H- The height of all projector housings (small, medium, large, extra large) is 98 cm. This is the dimension of the biggest component when installing a Lift or Probox. The access route and door widths leading to the auditorium must be wider than 98cm to allow the equipment to be delivered.
- W- The width of all projector housings (small , medium , large , and extra large) is fixed and is 110 cm.
Our Lifts and ProBox are produced in two types.
- T/WS-150 is intended for small and medium projectors. The weight with a server IMS, 3D,COOLER should be no more than 150 kg;
- T/WS-300 is intended for large and extra large projectors. The weight with a server IMS, 3D,COOLER should be no more than 300 kg.
Our Lifts and ProBox are modular and consist of 3 main components:
- A- Lift rail guide – the length depends on the projector’s lifting height and is adapted to the requirements of the cinema [maximum 4.5 m]
- B- Projector housing – adapted to the size of the projector [including: 3D, COOLER] and is manufactured in four sizes [lengths]: small, medium, large, extra large. The types of housing on offer are common to all digital cinema projectors currently on the market.
- C- Top – this is installed at the level of the acoustic ceiling [exception: high auditoria]. The dimensions of this component match the dimensions of the projector’s housing.
Our products can meet all Client requirements in terms of sustainability and size.
* PROBOX F is only manufactured to order.

SELECTION LIST FOR BARCO PROJECTORS: LIFT T/WS 150
CINEMA AUDITORIUM REAR WALL
- Better screen illumination angle, less distortion, stable image;
- Easier operation from the top step;
- Increased safety, no need for cables that require to be changed every few years;
- Natural, conventionally located light source in the cinema (at the rear, behind the audience).
AUDITORIA WITH HIGH CEILINGS
- In auditoria with high ceilings a box enclosure must be built above the Lift or ProBox, constructed from gypsum board panels on steel profiles and insulated with mineral wool. All the electrical installations and ventilation ducts etc. are enclosed inside this box.
- SOLID WALLS - made of concrete, concrete blocks, brick etc. Lifts and Probox are installed direct to the wall by means of dedicated anchors produced by HILTI or FISCHER.
Lifts and Probox are installed according to the Installation Manual provided by ATC.
- LIGHTWEIGHT WALLS – a substructure needs to be created, designed and made by the local contractor according to the ATC’s guidelines and local construction regulations. ATC may provide a steel modular frame for the Lift, depending on the Client’s requirements.
- INSTALLATION – may be carried out by ATC’s team [costs to be calculated individually]. We can also train your employees at our premises.
BCVU (Boothless Cinema Ventilation Unit) is a specially designed device intended for ventilation of projectors installed inside Lifts and ProBox. Stable operating conditions are crucial with laser projectors and have a direct impact on their working life and maintenance costs.
BCVUs are produced in slim housings that allow them to be located in low spaces above or to the left or right of the lift or ProBox. BCVUs are produced with the following capacities 700 m3/h, 1000 m3/h and 1250 m3/h.
Modern air conditioning systems adjust the airflow according to the number of people present in the auditorium. This can mean that a cinema’s air conditioning is off when there are only a few people in the auditorium. In these circumstances a BCVU can prevent the projector from overheating, as it stabilizes the projector’s operational temperature, thereby extending the life of the projector.
On request, we can supply rack cabinets equipped with power modules and sound monitors. We can also supply competitively priced copper wiring.
Additionally, we manufacture all types of screen frames LED step lighting, and screen edge accent lighting.
