DCI compliancy, access to exclusive Bel-Air Circuit content, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDMI 2.1 support among the groundbreaking features headlining Quantum’s state-of-the-art XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall.
Denver, Colorado (August 23, 2024) — Continual upgrades and enhancements to an already established phenomenal video technology can make a huge difference in imaging performance. Quantum Media Systems, a leader in high-performance video solutions for more than 20 years, demonstrates the evolution of its multi-award-winning, high-performance residential video wall at CEDIA Expo 2024.
During CEDIA Expo 2024, attendees can see Quantum’s enhanced XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall in action at several different areas in the Convention Center. Each exhibit will feature a different video wall configuration, demonstrating the design versatility of Quantum’s premium video wall solution.
At Booth #4121, they will feature a cinematic 10-foot wide 1.2mm XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall. Additionally, based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback from last year’s attendees, Quantum is returning to the Kaleidescape Booth #2543 with an even more spectacular 18-foot-wide Cinemascope-format video wall.
CEDIA Expo attendees can also catch Quantum at demonstrations in Room #207, where several new groundbreaking features and capabilities of its enhanced XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall will be highlighted. To create an immersive home theater experience, a 20-foot-wide Cinemascope-format XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall will be complemented by a full range of seamlessly integrated third-party products, including a high-end surround-sound system, acoustical treatments, media servers, power management system, and control system. Dealers, consultants and designers interested in providing their customers with a state-of-the-art LED video wall purpose-built for residential environments can make an appointment by contacting Quantum at [email protected]. Quantum will host several showings throughout each day of the CEDIA Expo.
Members of the media can attend a press-only demonstration on Friday, September 6, 8-9 a.m. in Room #207. Quantum executives will be on hand to explain the Video Wall features, technology and answers questions.
Cutting-Edge Capabilities of Quantum Media Systems’ XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall Helps Residential Integrators Succeed in Luxury AV Market
Quantum Media Systems has added a host of revolutionary features and capabilities to its multi-award-winning XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall, giving residential integrators something extraordinary to offer their elite clientele. The XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall is the AV industry’s first 4K Digital Cinema-compliant video wall designed and engineered expressly for luxury homes. Featuring and supporting advanced technologies such as HDMI 2.1, 120Hz refresh rate, 100% of the P3 color space, up to 8K resolution, and multi-image processing, the XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall is a highly versatile large-scale LED display capable of producing exceptionally realistic, bright, and detailed images from any variety of sources. This includes first-run movies from the exclusive Bel Air Circuit, as well as content from other sources and AV components. The XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall alters the dimension of its viewing surface automatically to the most appropriate format based on the content selected, be it 2.39:1 Cinemascope, 2.0:1, 1.85:1, or 16:9 4K HD. Plus, its newly established 1500 nit luminance rating, beneficial for viewing HDR (High Dynamic Range) content, sets a new standard for residential applications.
Quantum Media Systems Reveals How DCI Puts its XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall at the Forefront of the Luxury AV Market
One of the most significant enhancements to Quantum Media Systems’ revolutionary XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall is its support of the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) specification. DCI was developed initially as a performance standard for commercial cinemas; Quantum is among the first companies to extend DCI to the residential market. In addition to better imaging performance, DCI provides end-users access to first-run Hollywood films from the exclusive Bel-Air Circuit streaming service. This is a dramatic differentiator. Until now, residential integrators could only offer their high-end clientele Bel-Air Circuit content via certain high-end projectors and video walls intended for commercial applications. Now, for the first time, it’s available via a modern, stylish, high-performance residential video wall. Together, DCI, Bel-Air Circuit and the XDR Pro Cinema Video Wall by Quantum Media Systems establishes a powerful precedence and a compelling imaging solution for integrators targeting the luxury home market.
Quantum Introduces New Branding for Commercial Cinema Initiatives
Quantum Media Systems fortifies these product enhancements with newly announced branding. Quantum Pro Cinema represents Quantum’s pro cinema acumen, developed over years of strategic alliances and collaboration with some of Hollywood’s most prolific cinematographers, producers, directors, and other cinematic professionals. “This new brand signifies our relationships in the filmmaking industry and our passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for large-scale imaging for residential applications,” says Quantum owner Ken Hoffman. “Immersing ourselves in the commercial cinema industry allows Quantum to stay one step ahead in its development of residential video wall technologies.
