About 120-inch Screen and Sound

The 120-inch screen and sound is a set comprising a 120-inch screen that rises electrically from the wall of the fireplace room (AWOL VISION MW-F220), a projector on a walnut tripod (Valerion VisionMaster Max), and a soundbar with subwoofer (JBL BAR 1300M2).

A hidden theatre

With the lights lowered, the fireplace room becomes a small screening room for up to six

A screening in the fireplace room means raising the 120-inch screen from the wall only when needed, setting the projector and sound, and watching. When not in use, the screen is stowed and the room returns to the Rococo sofas gathered around the fire.

What you can watch: documents connected from your own device, footage you have filmed, and works on streaming services.

In a meeting, you can spread documents across the dining room table and then move to the fireplace room to review video. Separating the time for talking and the time for watching by room makes it easy to shift everyone's attention, and afterwards you can return to the dining room to sum up.

Request

Tell us "screen use" when you book. The butler will have the projector in place.

Connection

Connect your device and check the picture and audio output. Please bring the cables and adapters your device needs.

Dimming

The butler lowers the chandelier and, if wished, leaves only the fire.

Volume and subtitles

Check that voices reach the seats. As this is a shared building, loud volume is avoided; please use subtitles where needed.

Seating and walkways

Choose any seat from the sofas and chairs, and the butler checks the width of their path. Devices and cables are placed where they do not cross your feet.

  • Public screenings without the rights holder's permission
Before viewing

Before viewing, four things are checked: picture, sound, lights and rights

Preparing to view means more than getting a picture on the screen: it means a state in which text and subtitles can be read and voices heard from every seat, and the walkways remain clear. The butler asks for a short test before you begin, and sets the lights and seats.

For presentations, rather than projecting fine tables or long passages as they are, please check on your device that they can be read from the seats. Device and seats are placed so that the presenter can stand without crossing in front of the screen.

Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, U-NEXT, YouTube, ABEMA and Disney+ are available.

Checking the viewing position from the Rococo sofa in the fireplace room
QCan I watch streaming services?
A

Yes.

QIs there a limit on volume?
A

There is. As this is a shared building, loud volume is avoided, and the butler advises a level at which conversation and the voices on screen can be heard comfortably. Please also consider using subtitles.

QCan it be used for a screening event?
A

It may be used for small screenings of up to six guests. Please confirm yourself in advance that you hold the rights to screen the work.

QCan I connect with just my device?
A

Please also bring cables or adapters that fit your device's ports. If you tell us the device name when booking, we advise on the connection methods the house can confirm.

QCan we move from the dining room in the middle of a meeting?
A

Yes. You can talk in the dining room, watch video in the fireplace room, and return to your seats afterwards. The butler prepares the doors and lights to suit the timing of each move.
