Absolutely in love with our new home Cinema!!! The knowledge shared by Scott and the team from start to finish was next to none. The whole experience was a breeze all the way through. From designing the room layout, selecting the right gear to suit the space, and the flexibility with installation. It’s also worth mentioning that the support after installation has been flawless! Really enjoyed working through this project with Scott and the team at The Digital Picture. Favourite room in the house!
I had a fantastic experience with The Digital Picture and could not be happier with such an investment. From initial discussions with Scott all the way completion 2 years later, his expertise was always on show. His communication was on constant and on point and explanations thorough as his goal is to make the system as good as possible for the room. Achieved this with flying colours.
The system in a fairly small room is a beast. 130″ acoustic transparent screen, Sony laser projector, 2x 18″ subs, 4 x Atmos speakers, LCR and 2x rears all by Triad. 4x theatre chairs, diffusers and absorbers throughout on the walls and ceiling. The wiring was top and cable work – all the equipment is in a separate room to keep noise to a minimum.
Overall, the whole team were fantastic to deal with and I recommend anyone in the market for a dedicated home theatre to go and see them as you won’t be disappointed.
The only bad thing – my wife has hijacked the room.
Absolutely a pleasure working with Scott, Mat, Adrian and Richard to construct my dream home cinema set up. Just a group of incredible individuals with great pride and expertise in their work and profession. The communication was seamless. The attention to detail and the extra thoughts they put behind every decision on and off the field are inspiring. If you want the best, look no further. Thanks guys!

I have found Scott at The Digital Picture to be very professional, knowledgeable, right up to date with the latest and best technology available currently in the cinema room space for both equipment, automation and acoustic room design. I highly recommend The Digital Picture as they have already completed a fantastic cinema for us in our unit complex on the Gold Coast a few years ago and we were very pleased with it, so much so we decided to go with Scott again to design a brand new state of the art cinema room for our new home on the Sunshine Coast. I highly recommend Scott and his team at The Digital Picture without hesitation!
Scott and his team were amazing to deal with and it became apparent early that they were extremely knowledgeable and passionate in this space. I really appreciated Scott always explaining things along the way and giving me options on the project. We have an amazing theatre room which we use often and can highly recommend The Digital Picture to create your home theatre
Scott spent a lot of time with us to ensure our home theatre suited our needs (not our fantasy!) and kept within budget. He also worked well with our building team to install our automated systems. Together with his team, they continue to deliver great service with their after sales care.
Scott and his team at The Digital Picture were outstanding. I doubt there is anyone better in Australia to build and kit out a home cinema.

Scott was very knowledgeable and patient and explained to me in a lot of detail about the different componentry and put together a detailed quote which we used to discuss which level of equipment spec we were after. With the resulting picture and sound, I now find going to Gold Class a let down as I feel I have a better cinema. It also leaves behind my big screen TV & Sonos surround system combo’s. One of Scott’s real skills over anyone else who hangs out a shingle to build home cinema’s, is clearly his ability to understand the specs of all the componentry and hence his ability to calibrate the audio & video for out of this world images and sound, hence why he is a judge at the national cinema awards.

Scott also designed all the elements with me of the cinema room (from paint colours, star ceilings, carpets, to curtains, to cabinets, platforms, lighting, screens, seating and automation), and had a very good eye for detail on how things integrated, and managed the builders and trades until we got a perfect outcome. On top of that, he listened well about how I wanted to use the room as a multi-functional room for gaming during the day, and we built in our X-box and Nintendo Switch options into the remote control control system.

This room is amazing, and blows everyone away when they see it. Our kid’s friends are in heaven when they come over.

Thanks Scott, you and the team were a pleasure to work with, and were always available. Fantastic work – I’d give 6 stars if I could!!

We have engaged Scott and his team to build our AV systems for two houses now. The service and support are excellent, and we gladly refer The Digital Picture to our friends and family.
My wife and I engaged the Digital Picture to design a home cinema for our off-the-plan apartment on the Gold Coast. Scott’s knowledge and expertise was exceptional. We wanted a cinema-quality set-up for playing movies, streaming services, and video games. Scott talked through all of our options to ensure the cinema met our needs and really took time to guide us through the process. Nothing was too a big a problem. Scott and his team liaised with builders throughout the construction process to ensure equipment was properly integrated. Very professional and patient in answering all our questions. The cinema itself has well and truly exceeded our expectations. The post-installation follow-up has also been great. Scott and his team are clearly passionate about what they do. The level of service and commitment could not be faulted. We couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t hesitate recommending the Digital Picture to anyone looking to install a home cinema or upgrade their AV setup.
If you want a cinema that just blows away the commerical cinemas, and stands head and shoulders above the many out of the box solutions then you definitely want to use these guys. Plus outstanding follow up support and service.
Scott and the team did an amazing job of customising our home theatre to our budget. What we got was superb. The service and installation was phenomenal and in particular the after sales service is first class. Nothing has been too difficult and Scott is always willing to help to ensure 100% satisfaction! Couldn’t recommend the Digital Picture high enough!
We have worked with The Digital Picture on multiple home theatre installations and the customer is always very happy with the result.
I engaged a so called “Expert” to design my new home theatre in my new house a few years back. He didnt get it right. I reached out to the Digital Picture team and they have transformed my theatre! Getting the sound and picture as hollywood intended was their mission; calibrating the audio and picture to get it be the best it can be. They replaced the control system and now we have trouble free movie nights! I cannot emphasise enough to anyone interested in Home Theatre to use these guys as well meaning retailers are just boix shifters, not true home theatre pros. Pay the money to get it right and sit back and revel in the best movies and shows like we do! I can’t recomend them enough and thanks to Scott and the lads for making our home theatre our fun place!
I have to say the best investment I’ve put into my home has been the AV and total home theatre package supplied by Scott at The Digital Picture. His service level and attention to detail is absolutely outstanding and he made the whole process an easy and stress free experience.
Thanks Scott for turning our house into the top level home entertainment complex I’ve been dreaming about for the last ten years. Wow how good is that sound!!
Matt
Scott and his team where amazing! I have very little knowledge in the area and Scott helped me understand what budget vs value got me. They installed a truely amazing system and created a room that we use daily and excites me every time I walk through the door. I couldn’t recommend Scott enough – he even spent over 7 hours configuring our system so it was perfect!
My Dream Come True
Yes they do if you go to Digital Picture, so my wife and I were moving to from Sydney to Queensland and she wanted a new house and I wanted a Home Theatre not a Lounge room with a Big TV
I wanted a HOME THEATRE.
I rang all the big home theatre dealers from Brisbane to the Gold Coast and got told the same thing all the time. Come in and see us or how much do you want to spend? To many options to tell you over the phone you must come in and talk to us. Etc. etc.
Scott Saucer from the Digital Picture asked the question that he needed to know as a starting point and took it from there.
1: size of the room,
2: speaker placement on floor or behind the screen
3. Standard speaker system 5.1 or Dolby Atmos 7.2 wall to wall speakers
4 .Bass or bone shaking Bass.
Within 2 days I received an Email showing a 3d rendered drawing of 2 options suitable for my room size, showing how it would look and a Quote plus upgrade price list should I wished to go that way.
So here’s what I got – I got a Home Theatre that was designed to all my requirements, a theatre that is calibrated to immerse you in both Picture and Sound creating 100% satisfaction. The team that Scott has assembled to assist with the installation and the after sale service compares to none.
Scott Saucer with his degree of Product knowledge and Professionalism to produce a Home Theatre to the customer’s budget is what makes The Digital Picture the only one to choose.
I have no doubt with all their knowledge and the high quality products they will be around for a long time
A Very Happy Customer

Scott, is a very knowledgeable person. This guy literally helped dial in my Anthem AVM60 and taught me on how to place subs properly…. Not only is he knowledgeable…. But what a friendly guy he is. Took time out of his own weekend to help me dial in my subs. You don’t see this now days……

BTW after everything Scott taught me…. The home theater now sounds absolutely incredible!… Will I recommend him?…. HELL YES!

Thanks again, Scott!

I had Scott design and install my media room for new house and it is FAR BETTER than I expected particularly for watching sports and films in which I am an avid fan and highly critical about my technology.

I HIGHLY recommend The Digital Picture for all multimedia and home cinema.

The Digital Picture is a rare ‘artison’ of home theatre installer, sure there are people that can hook it all up. The difference is evident whereby he maximises the positions, layouts and even calibrates the picture + sound to ensure you are getting the best out the gear you are putting in. This care & attention to detail will only be experienced with a company like this, well done on your recent asia pacific CEDIA award too Scott.
Couldn’t be happier with our new home cinema and the overall experience and service provided by Scott and his team. A truly professional outfit that went above and beyond – would highly recommend!
Not only is the system the best I’ve ever owned the build and customer service is second to none. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and a stickler for details and accepts nothing but perfection
