“When we turned on the projector for the first time, we
were thrilled! The image was bright, clear, and immersive,”
Montgomery said. “The black levels are excellent—
especially for an open concept theater. One of the things
we like about Draper’s acoustically-transparent screens is
that from the front row, you cannot see the perforations.
That’s really important.”
Draper was able to deliver the screen on a very tight
schedule and even coordinated freight so the screen was
delivered in time for judging during the Salt Lake Parade
of Homes.
Over 15,000 people visited the Holladay Cinema.
Montgomery said visitors were stunned by the size of
the screen. People often commented — “this feels like
an actual cinema,” and were genuinely stunned by the
picture quality.
“Draper has become our screen of choice. We know the
screen is always going to perform, and the different screen
materials and custom sizes give us incredible flexibility,”
Montgomery said. “Add their customer service to the mix,
and we’re able to be very aggressive designing theaters for
our clients.”
In addition to the huge Draper screen, the Holladay Cinema
includes a 4K HDR Kaleidescape movie server, 4K Blu-ray
player, and 4K video tiling, all operated via voice control. It
also features a custom Tym Signature Star Ceiling, crafted
from 7 miles of fiber optic filament. Each of the 1,200 stars
was hand-placed into the sheet rock during construction
before a cosmos mural was airbrushed on the ceiling to
compliment the twinkling stars.
A kitchenette and outdoor go kart track, that can be
monitored on the big theatre screen, finish off this beautiful,
award-winning home entertainment space.
