As a functioning cinema, The Capri has the latest in digital technology (not the old plonker you see to your right) and surround sound, whether you want to see the latest movie or see your Powerpoint Presentation come to life on a large scale. We also have a comprehensive audio and lighting suite to support a range of client needs and requests.
Our duty officers can provide basic technical support for the screening of films and the set up and use of the equipment below, included in the hire price of the equipment. For more complex events, you would need to engage an external AV company. We recommend Scene Change, details in the brochure linked below, but we are happy to work with anyone you trust.
If you have a presentation which includes a DVD, film or PowerPoint presentation, we require this at least two days in advance of your event in order to test that it will work with our system.
