DCI D-Box for home screening rooms has a discrete advantage to that of any movie theater.
When you experience d-box in a movie theater your feet are anchoring much of the energy to the floor.
In addition the comfort level of the chairs you can get great top grade leather d-box chairs for $ 4,500-12,000 each. The 4,500 chairs are a bargain which I found recently here in Florida as they have same exact leather of our $9,000 seats in our Prometheus, the same used in Theo Kalomirakis revamped basement cinema Roxy II.
$4,500- McClaren chair. absent is the rickety rackety looking 3 piece footrest of a $12,000 Cineak Bruges chair, see post below...
Over the years we have studied ways of customizing D-Box seating/systems to maximize the motion effect or to achieve control of individual chairs etc. . This year we started exploring adding DCI Playback of D-Box encoded movies to the home screening rooms.
The cost of adding this to a typical Home d-box seat/system (excluding the pistons) is a specialized system for cinemas costing about 18 grand including a dell server, plus if you want to add blu-ray you must add an MC4p controller to the mix.
In addition the end user license fee of $5,000 a year. As you can imagine if you do not have day and date content access to all studios releasing in d-box, this proposition is a more than $25,000 premium over the actuator equipped seats.
Not for the FAINT OF HEART!
But stay tuned for the most exciting d-box news possible for those of you getting BLU-RAY window DCI content, because I have found an affordable solution that also brings you atmos and AURO (and yes if you do Atmos you absolutely need auro, and I will explain why) after you create a 24-32 speaker Atmos screening room, you still need to play your 5.1/7.1 aes DCI tracks upconverted to this awesomely enveloping new speaker array. Well the Atmos upconverter "Dolby Surround" wont do this (to preserve the director's intentions). Right!
you know me, I want "more real than real" so I often opt a "Fuck the directors intentions approach" and want my legacy dci aes tracks playing in full blown surround- something like the AEGIR room for example:
STAY TUNED FOR THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM TYPE 2: BD window DCI / d-box content. My new top secret technical find.

? and also the massive steel frame adds weight to the d-box system so you are forced to order the more expensive pistons!!!
