A shot from the main entrance of our multiplex In Lausanne. Before it’s was 2 separate theaters and in 1995 we’ve converted in a 6-plex, and 2 theaters where added in 1998. The cinema is nearby the main railway station and many people are coming after a business day to see a movie. 8 auditoriums, a total of 1093 seats.

A Shot of the Booths Nr 1 and 2. These auditoriums have 125 seats each. The booths are equipped with a Strong X90 console and a 5-deck Strong alpha platters. The sound system is JBL loud speakers and of course Dolby Digital. The customers can walk by theses booth and look into the glass. Peoples like to see the machines running. For them is a part of magic of the movie theater
A Shot inside the booth Nr 2. In the Background you can see the entrance for the auditorium 1 and 3. Sorry that you can’t see the entire projector mechanism but to take this picture I had to be on the other side of the platters where the booth is very cramped!

The main booths are dedicated to projectors 3 and 4. It serves to build and breakdown the programs too.
A closer view of the projector Nr 3. X-90 console, CPA 10 automation, 5-Deck Strong alpha Platters, Dolby CP 65 Processor. A few months later this auditorium will upgraded with a DA-20 and a CAT-700 Dolby Digital Reader.
What’s happend if the projectionist let the xenon lamp on all the day? This douser plate was burned by a 1,6 kW xenon Lamp. Note for this moment we don’t have another alternative, The Strong CPA-10 automation goes crazy when the xenon is ignited by the automation.
