  • Page 19 SEATING AREAS The next step in calibrating the Quantum Logic engine is to define the seat- ing area(s) within the cinema auditorium. Normally, a room will be suffi- ciently defined within a single seating area. If there is a gap creating distinct seating areas (i.e. a wide dividing aisle in stadium seating or a change in seating width due to a side entrance hallway) then you may define a second or third seating area in the menu.

Each defined seating area is able to accomodate curvatures, varied width, and sloped or stadium seating arrangements. DIMENSIONS TOP VIEW FRONT SEATING AREA 1 REAR FRONT SEATING AREA 2...
  • Page 21 SPEAKER LOCATIONS The last piece of information needed for the Quantum Logic immersive experience is the number and locations of the speakers in the auditorium. Like the seating area definitions, the origin point in the room is defined as the centerpoint of the screen at the floor. On the dropdown of each speaker category choose the number of speakers or speaker pairs that exist.

In this configuration the Center and Center Height speakers with have X values of 0.0. Stage Left and Right (Mains or Heights) may have pos- itive Y values based on the arc angle of the screen and placement variations.
  • Page 23 STAGE SPEAKERS WITH FLAT SCREEN Shown below is an example of a symmetrical auditorium with a flat screen. In this configuration the Center and Center Height speakers with have X values of 0.0. Stage Left and Right (Mains or Heights) will have Y values less than or equal to 0.0.
  • Page 24 STAGE SPEAKERS WITH OFFSET CURVED SCREEN The example below shows an auditorium with an offset screen to allow for an exit door on the right side of the room. In this configuration the Center and Center Height speakers with have negative X values. Stage Left and Right (Mains or Heights) may have positive Y values based on the arc angle of the screen and placement variations.
  • Page 25 SURROUND SPEAKERS LAYOUT The figure below is an example of an auditorium using 7 surround pairs, 4 height pairs, and 3 rear speakers. Each speaker pair will have ascending Y values starting from the front of the auditorium to the rear. In this example all Height Surround Z values will be equal since they are mounted at the same level in the auditorium.
