<p>THX Certified Screening rooms blend the acoustic performance and aural impact of a THX Certified Cinema in a smaller room—ideal for critical screenings, business presentations, focus groups and editorial reviews. THX defines every aspect of sound and picture quality in its screening room program, from <a href="/professional/cinema-certification/cinema-specifications/thx-auditorium-isolation/">sound isolation</a> and <a href="/professional/cinema-certification/cinema-specifications/thx-certified-cinema-reverberation-control/">reverberation management</a> to room acoustics and <a href="/professional/cinema-certification/cinema-specifications/thx-certified-cinema-screen-placement/">screen positioning</a>.</p>
<p>Throughout the screening room construction process, THX provides extensive design consulting services. In addition, THX conducts onsite calibration to ensure the equipment is performing to its full potential.</p>
<p>Today, THX Certified Screening rooms are found at the<a href="http://www.radissonedwardian.com/londonuk_mayfair" target="blank"> Mayfair Hotel</a> in London, the <a href="http://www.sharp-world.com/" target="blank">Sharp Screening Room</a> in Japan and the <a href="http://www.pixar.com/" target="blank">Pixar Animation Studios </a>in Emeryville, Calif.</p>
<h3>THX Certified Screening Room Requirements</h3>
<h4>The THX certification process focuses on:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Picture viewing angle and playback device</li>
<li>Speaker performance and placement</li>
<li>Ease of user interface</li>
<li>Calibration of audio and video product performance</li>
<p>THX does not specify room size or address the visual appearance of the room unless it adversely effects sound and picture quality.</p>
