Ritzy Multiplex Cinema -
London
The Ritzy is London's only multiplex
Art cinema. It has 5 auditoriums with restaurants and bars, on two floors.
Futronix was commissioned to provide the lighting control
systems for the entire complex. This included the refurbished Edwardian main
auditorium which is preservation listed by English Heritage.
Futronix worked with the architects and lighting
consultants to provide a custom designed light show. This was programmed to
provide an entertaining feature for the audience while highlighting the unique
character of the cinema.
All lighting in the auditorium is controlled by the Futronix PFX
dimming system. This includes the decorative lighting on the arches,
ceiling and columns as well as the seat lighting, curtain lighting,
signs, emergency lighting and stage lighting.
The system is programmed to provide a cascading light show
before each movie. This highlights the Victorian arches and columns all the way
down in a rolling cascade.
The lighting in the other 4 cinemas, foyer, restaurants and bars
is controlled by a network of Futronix PFX-16 digital dimming controllers.
