Abstract: A portable high-definition television and theater entertainment and audio visual system that includes a movable pod formed with at least one side wall cooperating with a generally horizontal top to define an interior component volume and with spaced apart alignment passageways therein, and at least one recessible door. A removable component cage is received in the interior component volume and is formed with alignment guides coacting with the alignment passageways. The cage carries at least one audio visual component such as a media source and a projector. The system further incorporates one or more reversible panels configured with a projection screen side and an opposite second side adapted with decorative features that conceal the projection screen side when the panel is reversed. In combination, the various embodiments of the invention establish a convergence of high-definition television with digital art.
