Seating, lighting, and room integration

Rows, aisles, and risers are drawn with sightlines to the screen. Lighting is specified as scenes for the room: entering, watching, and a pause. Shades and house lights are part of that, not a separate whole-home lighting scheme.

Where Redwood Tech is integrating the rest of the residence, the cinema's lighting and control are specified to join that system. The cinema site does not sell standalone security or climate control.
