Famous theaters can be described in many ways, but how about well-traveled? As far-fetched as it seems, one such theater is the Golden Rondelle.
Originally designed for the SC Johnson Pavilion at the New York World's Fair in 1964, the theater now resides in Racine, Wisconsin as part of SC Johnson's worldwide headquarters. Though the original theater remains intact, the outer structure was redesigned to complement the existing buildings which were originally designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It has been open to the public since 1967.
Recently, SC Johnson worked with DP Authorized Dealer Full Aperture (Chicago, IL) to update the audio and visual systems in the Theater. The company installed three DP HIGHlite 12000Dsx+ projectors to display HD video on a brand-new 50-foot-wide by 14-foot-high curved screen.
The picture of the Theater above was taken during a showing of its main feature, To Be Alive. Produced specifically for the World's Fair, the three-screen film was praised by critics and viewed by more than five million people during the festivities.
The Rondelle is utilized by SC Johnson as a conference facility and is available for use by community organizations. Because of this, SC Johnson's three high-performance, SXGA+ resolution HIGHlite 12000Dsx+ projectors give them plenty of options. The projectors are well-suited for multi-task use, as they are capable of displaying all formats of video and HD, as well as all computer graphics standards.
