All three of the auditoriums at the Orinda Theatre are equipped with the following hearing-impaired devices:

For closed captioning, we make available the model CCR-100 from Moving iMage Technologies. This device inserts into the cupholders on most seats or a clamp that can be used to attach. One simply must ask anyone working at the theater for the device. We also have a notice in our box office window that notes that we have listening-assisted devices available upon request. 
 
 
"Patrons may select one of up to four caption languages delivered with the movie. The unit displays the user-defined welcome message until the presentation starts. It then displays the closed captions delivered in the Digital Cinema Package (DCP). No interference! the use of infrared (IR) transmission eliminates interference from adjacent auditoriums or radio transmitters."
 
 
For Assisted listening, we make available the Moving iMage Technologies IRH-280i, which are two-channel infrared (IR) Headphones for HI (Hearing Impaired)  and VI-N (Visually Impaired Narrative) audio. The IRH-280i headsets receive “Hearing Impaired” audio (dialog-centric audio at a user-adjustable loudness) and “Audio Description” audio (formerly Visually Impaired - Narrative description of the movie action to aid visually impaired individuals). The IRH-280i is powered by two AAA batteries to receive infrared signals carrying the HI audio at 2.3 MHz and the AD signal at 2.8 MHz.
