The Cinema Designer has been developed by cinema designers for cinema designers. This is what the industry is saying about our revolutionary software...
 |
“Guy has put an incredible amount of thought into developing The Cinema Designer and the end result is nothing short of inspiring. We know that for home technology professionals, time is one of their most valuable resources so any tool that can help them deliver exceptional experiences to their clients while saving time is a complete win.” |

"The CEDIA and CTA Home Theater Standards documents, CEB22/CEB23 are simply applied physics for designing high performance audio and video home systems. We see the Cinema Designer as a user friendly tool for obtaining system compliance with these Standards. For 2016 and beyond submission for CEDIA Awards requires following and documenting Standards compliance. We applaud the launch of this tool to help integrators insure high performance for their clients." |

"The Cinema Design tool is a great way to quickly evaluate various options for your Auro-3D Home Theater, taking many parameters into account, and come to a solid starting point from which to further design your full home theater. It helps to see that a good speaker layout is critical to create a natural immersive listening experience." |

“TCD is a great tool to get the basic elements of a theater right in a short period of time and according to industry standards. I think every AV Integrator should give it a try and see how it can shorten design time. Wonderful Tool!” |

"We have followed the progression and development of this software from a very early stage. At an early stage it was possible to see that this instrument would become a game changer. Having a tool with the ability to create cinema designs to industry standards, to the latest formats and have technically accurate drawings that can be dropped into CAD is something incredibly useful. Add to that a sales tool in the form of 3D renders and a kit list - Wow. Oh, and by the way, it does it ALL in around 30 seconds - I’m still in front of the client and their design, to correct standards, is complete! Something we will be recommending to all our dealers." Ben Davidson |

"Designing a great theater is actually not that hard. Acquiring the knowledge and experience is however a life time investment. Time is often the evil parameter over knowledge and skills, that result in high end theater performance trade off. The average project will throw more design changes than your ability to fully re-engineer a solution. Luc Guillaume |

"This design tool is incredibly powerful and simple to use. I believe it will certainly make everyone’s lives easier and promote high standards within the industry" Phil Lord |

"I first learned about Guys software at Cedia 2015. To say I was intrigued would be a complete understatement. As most Theater designers know, mapping out a room and determining speaker, seating and treatment locations can take quite some time. To think there was a platform that would drastically cut the design process down, was exciting but a little skeptical as well. Then we had a meeting with Guy showing off the software and I was blown away. In matter of minutes, you had virtually everything necessary to present a proposal to a client. DWG drawings, speaker and seating layout, ideal screen specifications and even a few renders of what the room would look like. It’s an absolutely fantastic software program and I look forward to using it in the future." |

“We work really hard to ensure that our cinema designs are built to the CEDIA CEA guidelines and appreciate how time consuming this process is. The guidelines are in place for a very good reason; to ensure repeatable results. Barry Sheldrick |

"This design tool will save many Custom Installers and their technical departments hours of detailed work. In the hands of experienced and knowledgeable designers; after the correct information has been established, I'm convinced the tool will be an invaluable resource." Mike Beatty |

“The Cinema Designer software is potentially transformative in the way it will allow almost anyone to design a technically competent cinema room that meets all the critical industry standards. Though companies will still need lot of expertise and further training to transfer these designs into reality, this software will ensure that no fundamental design mistakes have been made. This will go a very long way to raising the standard of private cinemas everywhere. Bravo Guy for some very clever work.” Peter Aylett |

“The Cinema Designer makes designing a Cinema effortless and will ensure a consistently high level of room design for consumers. It allows Custom Integrators to utilise the specialise knowledge and experience of one of the country’s top designers in an fast, efficient and clear way. It is a platform that could completely change the landscape of home cinema design and vastly improve the experience of consumers.” Ollie French |

"This tool provides extremely accurate and detailed designs to recognised recommended practices. Not only will it save hours of work at design time but also makes detailed design at quote stage a real option. The promise of higher performance and increased profits across the entire spectrum of cinema installations makes this app a ‘must see’ for installers". Geoff Meads - Presto AV |

“Cinema Designer is straight forward and straight up awesome for room design and documentation. Guy's years of experience and expertise are evident throughout and I can see great value for designers and systems integrators in providing great explaination for value added services beyond the installation - like video calibration and acoustics engineering. Great work Guy!” Jeff Murray |

“this is a huge step forward for the design of cinema rooms, bringing years of knowledge and experience into the hands of cinema designs. Im excited to see just how far this can be developed.”” Mathew Moule |

“The Cinema Designer is one of those rare tools that converts a knowledge base – developed and refined over years – into an end-user report in a reliable and industry compliant manner. Ankur Bhatt |

“We selected The Cinema Designer software to provide a very definite proposition for our cinema customers in the future. Home cinema and media spaces is a focus we have wanted to develop in the business for some time, and we have been designing a range of media rooms and performance level cinema room solutions (right up to Reference Level where the budget allows) using traditional CAD based information and spreadsheets to calculate how rooms will be delivered and perform. Ian Trudgeon, director, |

“TCD helps us cut through some of the laborious tasks associated with producing great home theatre rooms. It’s a really good sales tool too, saving hours of time to produce a professionally presented design. One still needs to understand the basics of what makes a good home cinema and like any tool, its benefit really comes from knowing how to use it. TCD is great value and can save hours of time on a single project, so the annual cost is easily justified. We love the fact that most of our major suppliers products are already built-in to TCD making it even more relevant to enhance our designs and projects. TCD is a sophisticated and complex design tool so anyone using TCD who has not had any formal training would benefit from checking out some of the training courses offered by CEDIA. http://www.cediaeducation.com/home-cinema-design-workshop” David Graham |

“We have been aware of the software for a while and joined in when Guy did the first webinar, an hour we’ll spent. Since then we have jumped on-board and produced our first 5 design. To say its quick, easy and accurate is not doing the software justice. We recently had to design a Cinema for a client with a £250K budget, and using TCD we could easily and quickly provide detailed information giving the client 3 different initial ideas to choose from, and taking only 15 mins to produce all three. Going forward TCD is now our go to software when designing our Cinema and Media Rooms, and with more manufactures being added all the time its only getting better. ” Mr Stuart Burgess |

"We were immediately impressed with the speed and accuracy The Cinema Designer brings to the complete home cinema design process, and feel confident that it will raise the bar for the whole cinema design industry. From a projector standpoint, people specifying the right light output for the right environment with the right lens is a complex process. Our products are in good hands with TCD as it ensures that our projectors are specified correctly; it ensures the right products are used for the right job. Barco Residential is careful to associate with the best brands in the CI industry, and we are proud to be a manufacturer supplier in TCD. Revolutionary piece of software!" Hamish Neale |
