MUMBAI: Music is an intrinsic part of the Gen Z identity.  Young people are not only curating varied playlists on streaming platforms and attending concerts but also creating and sharing their own music on social media platforms. Young listeners also expect superior audio quality and an immersive concert-like experience from their home entertainment devices. Especially because accessing highly priced tickets (as was the case with international band Coldplay's India tour) is not always possible. They are looking for devices that can help them listen to their favourite bands in full-throated glory, with deep bass, booming percussive sounds and crystal-clear note separation.

This is where Ultra-Short-Throw (UST) projectors can help them experience the magic of live concerts right in their homes. Apart from high-fidelity, enchanting sound, they also offer larger-than-life 4K visuals and integrated streaming apps to help recreate the concert experience.

The consumption of music has many interesting dimensions today as is evident from the resurgent nostalgia for vinyl records and cassette players equipped with bluetooth. However, when it comes to enjoying a concert at home, an Ultra-Short-Throw is the perfect choice as it seamlessly delivers the ultimate high-definition, audio-visual experience on a cinematic scale.

Fully integrated projectors also enable avid music lovers to enjoy live-streamed EDM, acoustic, classical or rock performances in real-time or revisit historic concerts by easily accessing a vast repository of live concerts, festivals and iconic videos on multiple streaming platforms.  

The era of cumbersome ancillary equipment is long gone as the fully integrated plug and play, compact UST projectors can be placed just inches away from a wall and still deliver massive HDR and 4K visuals with surround sound via unobtrusive high-fidelity speakers. These devices also offer flexible screen size and different audio and ambient settings.

Formovie’s UST projector Theater Premium encompasses all these qualities including stunning 4K resolution. It can play Dolby Vision as well as HDR10 content, including Blu-ray while HDR10+ decoding is also supported. This is the first UST projector in the market boasting a screen of up to 150 inches.  The Theater Premium also delivers exceptional brightness, with an output of up to 2,200 lumens and a contrast ratio of 3,000:1. The projector is powered by ALPD RGB+ 4.0 triple laser technology and provides a wider colour gamut and deeper contrasts.

The projector boasts Dolby Atmos sound, has dual 15W Bowers & Wilkins speakers and a 990cc sound chamber that makes additional soundbars obsolete.   It also comes equipped with the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology and Google TV, ensuring access to all major streaming platforms.

UST projectors hence are multifaceted devices that are offering Gen Z exactly what they want by bridging the gap between thrilling live experiences and cosy home entertainment.
