How to design MTR displays when you don't know how much Front Row will be used in the room's lifetime.
Here's a design that ticks all the boxes.
Leaving Front Row aside for a moment, consider why Microsoft has adopted projection in their featured premier room designs. It's because projection can be scaled to any size and aspect ratio - and in the cheapest way.
The 21:9 systems they are showing (and Visual Displays supply) are basically 'throwing away' the unused pixels from a 16:9 UHD or HD projector.
Why not keep those pixels, save budget, and have the full 16:9 area available for all other non-Front Row room modes and applications?
We supply designs, components and complete systems for any size in 21:9, 16:9 and any other aspect ratios. These are available via resellers globally. My specialist consultancy on displays, lighting, VC lighting, MTR space design and standards (AV & environmental) is available through either AV consultants or leading resellers.
