SPECIALIST HOME CINEMA PROJECTION · SOUTHERN AFRICA

Projection, without compromise.

A specialist reference and project-enquiry resource for serious private cinema — from JVC and Epson through Barco Residential, with Sony and Christie reference coverage plus madVR and Lumagen video processing.

THE SYSTEM BEFORE THE PRODUCT

Design the image before choosing the projector.

At the high end, screen width, throw distance, lens choice, target luminance, contrast, room reflectivity, heat, noise and video processing are all part of one system.

This site is built around that design process. Barco, Epson and JVC projectors available through the regional specialist channel use an email-led purchasing journey; Sony and Christie are included because serious buyers and existing owners still need informed technical guidance.

BARCO PROJECTION OPTICS

The lens can be as important as the projector.

Barco’s projection platforms can work with unusually broad lens families — from approximately 0.37:1 ultra-short throw on I600 through long-throw optics beyond 7:1. That flexibility changes what is possible architecturally.
