Other outdoor movie companies use cheap-o screens, often with a mesh-like screen surface. Our Airscreen is the original inflatable screen, and the best there is. It uses a real movie screen surface, and the image quality is comparable to that in a good indoor theatre. We decided to purchase the best screen we could find, and this is it!

The projector is the heart of the system; many outdoor movie companies use a beefed up business projector; not us. We use two different projectors as needed; a brand new Panasonic large venue dual lamp DLP widescreen model, and a large venue dual lamp LCD Sanyo-built Proxima. Both units put out a clean, vibrant, bright image. High-def is no problem for either one, as well. These are the real-deal big-buck commercial projectors. 

Big sound is critical to a great movie experience. We are the only company using actual top-quality JBL movie-theatre speakers, the same is in good indoor cinemas. Other companies use PA gear like a band or DJ would use. Ours kicks sonic butt. We have enough firepower for the largest crowds. Typically we only need 2-4 of the speakers in our arsenal pictured at left to give the crowd great sound.

For 2007 we are happy to be using a brand-new, just-released Honda eu6500is generator. This unit is super quiet, less than normal speech levels, and puts out power cleaner than most wall outlets. This unit produces enough power to run our blower, sound, and projector, in any location, regardless of the availability of power service from a utility company. The show will go on!
