One of the best-equipped venues for film and digital presentation in Minnesota
PROJECTION
The Heights Theatre is one of the best-equipped venues for film and digital presentation in Minnesota. In 2012 we did a complete D cinema installation using a Dolby Digital cinema package combined with a brand-new BARCO 2K digital projector. Unlike most theaters though, we have kept our full 35mm-70mm Norelco AAII legacy film projectors in place and operational. All film prints are projected reel to reel and not from an automated platter system. Because of this, the Heights Theater can screen “archival prints” from the Library of Congress, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, The George Eastman house, and other repositories. The Heights also has one of the best cinema sound systems supporting full Dolby Digital surround sound, DTS Digital as well as excellent mono and stereo optical and magnetic systems.
