I am starting a small (50-60 seat) cinema house to show old movies on DVD. Will a "home theater" set up work for this? The room is 22X42. Any help is appreciated. |

Using a home cinema setup will work as long as you don't care about a professional high-quality presentation. A good projector for a screen that is 10x14 will be at least $3,000. Plus audio, good screen, DVD players, switcher etc, you are around 10,000 for a good system. |

be careful what you show--Kino went after a showing of Metropolis-- Berne copyright act---certain films and countries films are still copyrighted back to the begining of film.....that was shown in springfield ,ohio |

Be very thorough on copyright searches before you run public domain movies. Some have been challenged like Metropolis and CharadeI not only do a google search, but go to sites like oldies.com which is Alpha Video...their label of PD titles are usually clear....although I usually look elsewhere for good quality.As far as equipment--3500 lumen DLP is MINIMUM for a small theatre--room must be very dark for best picture quality. |
