Faq Category: CINEMA CERTIFICATION

Une qualité sonore exceptionnelle ne se résume pas à de bonnes enceintes. L'intégration d'éléments d'amélioration acoustique dans une salle de cinéma, tels que des panneaux absorbants et des structures murales isolantes, permet d'obtenir un son nettement plus clair et immersif.
To achieve THX certification, the cinema projection booth must be accurately placed in relation to the screen for the best viewing experience. If the projection booth is not correctly positioned and installed, the projected image will have a keystone or trapezoid effect. CORRECTLY INSTALLED PROJECTOR BOOTH WELL-DESIGNED PROJECTION SYSTEM In a THX Certified Cinema, the […]
Le positionnement relatif de l'écran et du projecteur, ainsi que la taille de l'image, sont des éléments essentiels pour une expérience cinématographique optimale. Lorsqu'ils sont correctement installés et bien conçus, les spectateurs peuvent profiter d'une image captivante, sans aucune distorsion.
Une disposition des haut-parleurs et une paroi de déflexion soigneusement conçues contribuent à produire le son unique et puissant que l'on attend d'une salle de cinéma. C'est ce type de configuration des haut-parleurs qui rend les projections de films si captivantes.
The background noise level from the auditorium HVAC unit is measured and cannot exceed NC-30  at any octave band. High levels of background noise can mask subtle effects in the film soundtrack, which is not acceptable in a THX Certified auditorium.
Chaque salle est testée afin de s'assurer que les sources de bruit, telles que les salles voisines, la circulation routière et les équipements des buvettes, ne gênent pas les spectateurs dans leur plaisir de regarder le film.
The projected image quality must meet THX specifications. Screen luminance, image contrast, color calibration and accuracy, and focus resolution are evaluated by THX by using standard industry test equipment, test images, and proprietary test patterns. The projected image is measured and evaluated to verify the entire image size is projected on the screen with minimum […]
Components for the auditorium sound system are selected from the THX Approved Equipment List and integrated into the auditorium by the THX Design Office. THX inspects the equipment installation for the correct placement and aiming of loudspeakers. A THX Certified auditorium’s sound system is calibrated to THX and industry standards using THX approved audio spectrum […]
A testing program at the THX Office prequalifies the equipment used in the sound system of a THX certified cinema. Component approval is based on a series of tests that verify the applicability of the product design, performance, and ability to be easily integrated and installed with other components on the THX Approved Equipment List. […]
To ensure the best possible viewing and listening experience, THX recommends having a well-designed room with an impressive screen size and a 36 degree viewing angle from the farthest seat in the auditorium. A larger screen allows for a wider placement of left and right audio channels, enhancing room acoustics and creating a more accurate […]
