Context
Home Cinema Upgrade and Need for High‑End Projection
What does it take to create the perfect home cinema? Swiss ceed AG, an expert in home automation projects, knows exactly how to bring breathtaking imagery to a home cinema. When one of its customers called in its help to upgrade his private screening room, ceed suggested the Barco Residential ultra-high-end Prometheus 4K Cinema at Home projector.
Simply the best
“We had installed a Barco Residential Zeus digital cinema projector for another client and everyone was enchanted with the result,” says Oesch. “The projector performance was flawless and Barco Residential provided fantastic support, hence Barco was the natural choice.” For the new project, ceed stepped it up a notch to meet the customer requirements: “This was an upgrade project: we had set up the home cinema six years earlier yet the customer wanted a better visualization solution. In fact, he insisted on integrating the best possible equipment: best possible image quality for the largest possible screen.” The Barco Residential Prometheus projector was the perfect fit.
Challenge
Defining Performance Expectations and Upgrade Requirements
The upgrade project required clearly defining what “best possible” performance meant for the customer’s private cinema. The existing setup had been installed several years earlier, and expectations had evolved based on exposure to high-end digital cinema projection. The challenge was to identify a solution that could significantly improve visual performance without compromising the intimacy of a home environment. The customer also required a system capable of supporting the largest possible screen while maintaining clarity, brightness, and detail appropriate for a private chalet setting.
Solution
Barco Prometheus and Filmmaker‑Level Image Quality
Based on Barco’s acclaimed post-production and digital cinema projection technology, the Prometheus projector has been optimized for the home environment. Years of collaboration with movie professionals and cinematographers have enabled Barco to make Prometheus capable of displaying bright, vivid, exceptionally detailed images in an intimate setting. And not just in any home cinema.
World-renowned film-makers Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay have equipped their home theaters with these high-end Barco solutions too ….
“Our customer was indeed suitably impressed. The installation was smooth and the projector delivers breathtaking image quality in the comfort of his Gstaad chalet – a step-change difference to what he had before!”
Results
Enhanced Private Cinema Experience in a Chalet Environment
The completed upgrade is described as delivering a clearly improved home cinema experience within the customer’s chalet. According to the integrator, the installation process was smooth and resulted in a visible improvement over the previous setup. The projector’s performance is highlighted in terms of image clarity, detail, and overall visual impact during viewing. The result is positioned as a successful upgrade that meets the customer’s expectations for high-end private cinema performance in a residential setting.
