Mr. Jiang's villa is located by the Moshui Lake in Hanyang, surrounded by a uniquely artistic landscape. As a movie enthusiast, Mr. Jiang has extremely high standards for picture quality.

Pan Fei, founder of Wuhan DreamWorks Audio-Visual and the project's executor, shared: "Mr. Jiang prioritizes visual effects above all. From the start, we decided on a massive 240-inch floor-to-ceiling screen. Next, the projector's brightness became our focus. Standard projectors simply couldn't deliver enough brightness, especially for HDR visuals. After extensive discussions and comparisons, we unanimously chose the Barco Nerthus, a flagship model. What impressed Mr. Jiang most was not just its ultra-high brightness but also its wide color gamut and high contrast ratio. It perfectly resolves the conflict between brightness and color in home theaters, offering uncompromised picture quality."

A private cinema is a complete system, requiring seamless integration of space design and audiovisual equipment. Mr. Pan introduced the luxurious, multi-million-dollar setup of this home theater. He explained that the design was meticulously planned to accommodate ample space for equipment, seamlessly integrating the Barco Nerthus with the sound system, screen, and imaging devices. The entire system is a true top-tier configuration.
