Methods and systems of vibrating a screen
A cinema screen can be vibrated by a screen vibrator assembly. A screen vibrator assembly can include a vibrator, a mount bracket, and an isolation device. The vibrator can be positioned to generate a vibration for vibrating a cinema screen. The mount bracket is configured to be coupled to a screen support structure of the cinema screen. The isolation device is configured to couple the vibrator to the mount bracket to isolate the mount bracket from the vibration.
1. A screen vibrator assembly comprising:
a vibrator positionable to generate a vibration for vibrating a cinema screen;
a mount bracket configured to be coupled to a screen support structure of the cinema screen; and
an isolation device configured to couple the vibrator to the mount bracket such that the mount bracket is isolated from the vibration.
2. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 1 , wherein the isolation device is configured to isolate the mount bracket from shear and compression forces from the vibration.
3. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 1 , wherein the vibrator is configured to generate the vibration by electromagnetic energy.
4. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 1 , wherein the vibrator is an acoustical transducer.
5. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 1 , wherein a position of the screen vibrator assembly is adjustable with respect to a surface of the cinema screen at the mount bracket.
6. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 1 , wherein a tilt alignment of the screen vibrator assembly is adjustable with respect to a surface of the cinema screen.
7. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 1 , wherein a yaw alignment of the screen vibrator assembly is adjustable with respect to a surface of the cinema screen.
8. A screen vibration system comprising:
a fixed support structure mountable to a floor of a cinema for holding a cinema screen; and
a screen vibrator assembly that includes:
a vibrator positionable to impart vibrations on a surface of the cinema screen; and
a mount bracket attachable to the fixed support structure, the mount bracket including an isolation device to couple the mount bracket to the vibrator and to isolate the mount bracket from vibrations from the vibrator.
9. The screen vibration system of claim 8 , wherein the isolation device is positionable to isolate the mount bracket from shear and compression forces.
10. The screen vibration system of claim 8 , wherein the vibrator is configured to generate vibrations by electromagnetic energy.
11. The screen vibration system of claim 8 , wherein the vibrator is an acoustical transducer.
12. The screen vibration system of claim 8 , further comprising the cinema screen having a screen surface, wherein a position of the screen vibratory assembly is adjustable with respect to the surface of the cinema screen at the mount bracket.
13. The screen vibration system of claim 8 , wherein a tilt alignment of the screen vibrator assembly is adjustable with respect to the surface of the cinema screen.
14. The screen vibrator assembly of claim 8 , wherein a yaw alignment of the screen vibrator assembly is adjustable with respect to the surface of the cinema screen.
15. A method comprising:
generating, by a vibrator coupled to a screen support structure of a cinema screen via a mount bracket, a vibration for vibrating the cinema screen; and
isolating, by an isolation device coupling the mount bracket to the vibrator, the mount bracket from the vibration.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein isolating, by the isolation device coupling the mount bracket to the vibrator, the mount bracket from the vibration comprising isolating, by the isolation device, the mount bracket from shear and compression forces from the vibration.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein generating, by the vibrator coupled to the screen support structure of the cinema screen via the mount bracket, the vibration for vibrating the cinema screen comprises generating, by the vibrator, the vibration by electromagnetic energy.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the vibrator is an acoustical transducer.
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
adjusting a position of the vibrator with respect to a surface of the cinema screen at the mount bracket.
20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
adjusting a tilt alignment of the vibrator with respect to a surface of the cinema screen.
21. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
adjusting a yaw alignment of the vibrator with respect to a surface of the cinema screen.
