Home, Pro and Elite Cinebox consoles compared
Cinebox™ is an integral and important part of an outdoor movie system. The Cinebox™ is the event producer's main point of interaction with the entire outdoor movie system.
By operating a Cinebox™, you decide what is being shown or performed to the large crowds at the event venue. The Cinebox™, or in other words an outdoor movie system media console needs to include specific electronic components that allow you to control the show by mixing content, regulating volume, audio tone and switching between numerous inputs and outputs.
All of this may need a bunch of gadgets to work — and we at Open Air Cinema decided to make it as compact and convenient as possible by combining the components as part of a rack box.
Obviously different outdoor movie events require different equipment and different approaches.
A backyard movie party and a 300-car drive-in will need significantly different sets of equipment.
