New Transverter Installed at State Theater Improves Film
A new 700 pound transverter was installed this week at the State theater. It converts alternating current to direct current for the projection system, resulting in clearer pictures with sharper detail and deeper depth. Patrons note softer screen light easier on the eyes and crisper sound with better voice inflection and musical scores. The direct current eliminates line noise and enhances tone quality. Manager Pratt aims to further improve the theater to please Washington county patrons.
