... at Villa Bali Gita,
Located below the Gamelan Bale, the wood panelled library and movie theatre faces south and is underground on three sides, masking entirely it's presence from the villa. Double glazed entry doors complete a fully soundproofed cinema or disco environment with neither audible nor visible intrusion on the villa or river valley tranquility.
The room is 11 x 8 meters, widening to 9 meters in the central area. Custom built elevated couch beds shown in the picture can be demounted, allowing reconfiguration as a meeting room or disco.
The projection screen for the 1080p projector is 128x72 inches, or 147 inches as normally expressed for TV screens. Sound equipment is 7 channel digital with full support for newer high definition sound tracks such as DTS-MA and Dolby Tru Digital. Equipment is kept state of the art and comprehensive.
Media is available from a 500 title selection of original BluRay and DVD titles. The villa avoids copies widely available in this part of the world and instead purchases originals from Amazon. Leaving aside legality issues the knockoffs have low video and audio quality due to high compression used by the copiers in order to force fit them onto single layer budget DVD disks. Quite often the result looks pretty bad on a decent LCD or Plasma TV set but projected on a large high definition movie screen they are really gross.
A high end audiophile stereo system, also housed in the theater, is based on Mission Audio speakers and Audio Research amplifiers. Likewise our substantial audio library is available and distributed digitally over the villa network.
Computer systems are networked and have broadband connection to the internet. A good collection of English books is available including a large section for children. There are also a number of French, Korean and Japanese titles.
