Any kind of presentation system, whether it uses a digital screen or a traditional projector, relies on the room being dark to be properly effective. This is equally true for the big boardroom or the home theater.
Blackout curtains and blinds exclude all light from the room they’re installed in. In addition, they offer a measure of soundproofing. They really can make or break an “on-screen” experience. Tip: avoid vinyl blackout curtains, especially for home use, as they can be associated with health risks.
Automating blackout curtains gives an extra advantage for both conference room or home theater use. For meetings, the speaker can easily drop the blackout curtains at the start of their presentation and raise them at the end, limiting the amount of time spent in the dark. For home theater, the biggest advantage is not having to get up once you have settled down with your popcorn. They also have all of the other advantages of motorized blinds – fewer cords make them safer for children and pets, large windows are easier to handle, and high windows are easily reached. And if you have a smart home or office system, your blackout curtains or blinds can easily be integrated.
