You have already likely made the conversion to Digital technology. Now is the time to MAXIMIZE your profits through total Controlled Automation.

HISTORY:  Larry Polla, Founder and CEO of  CINEMASMARTS! (a Division of PollaVision, Inc.entered the cinema industry in 1978 as a cinema Manager and Projectionist. In 1985 Larry formed Hi-Tech Theater Equipment. This company designed and manufactured a line of robust line theater electronics. Hi-Tech sold thousands of light dimmer and automation systems to the industry prior to the evolution of Digital Cinema. 

For years Cinemas have have been using automation to control projector, sound and auditorium functions. These automations allow one projectionist to operate several auditoriums without the audience experience being compromised. With the introduction of digital technology to the cinema the need for these projectionist to thead the projector and run scheduled shows has been eliminated. Several companies are now providing automations that seamlessly integrate with cinema servers and provide all the automation functions to run a show without the need of a projectionist. 

CINEMASMARTS! was designed to fill the gap of not having a projectionist and theater management. All of the beginning and end of day tasks can be performed from the managers office, box office or remotely  from any smartphone or PDA. This system is designed to have every control function along with feedback from the server, projector and automation systems as you were operating the auditorium while standing at the projector.  Faults can be sent directly from the auditorium automation directly to the remote monitoring stations. Actions and commands from the Theater staff can also be sent directly to the specific auditorium that you desire to control.

Customization can be also programed in while our technicians are on site during the system installation or a remote connection can be established and performed remotely. 

We are experts in cinema automation and have been doing it for over 34 years. Let us engineer a customized solution for your theater that will reduce labor cost and increase show reliability along with the customer experience.

Look, we more than most, understand that your new theaters have automation. The question is how much and how much control do you have. There was a trade-off in giving up the projectionist in the booth who could react and ‘fix’ there apparent and immediate needs in order to fully restore the projection and assure your audience remains happy. What we offer is the ability for the theater management to have a ‘TOTAL THEATER CONTROL’ from any smartphone in any location in the world to know the exact conditions in each and every auditorium, hallway, concession area, interior and exterior lighting and more. Currently, there is no other firm offering these options!

We invite you to review the following … the first is a flyer we first distributed at the CinemaCon Convention Mar 24th in Las Vegas. The remaining are two (example only) concept sheets to provide you a clear idea of what you might expect to have control over. Again, iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac … ALL platforms are supported. And security is provided as well to assure you have no breach. All this, options, pricing and more can be made available to you upon contact as soon as possible. We are excited about the opportunities in serving YOU!
