EliteProAV, Inc. announces its Saker Tab-Tension electric projector screen now features CineGrey 5D ambient light rejecting (ALR) material. ALR is a 1.5 gain, 3D-2D projection material designed for a retractable tab-tensioned format.
“Ambient light rejecting materials allow larger-than-life projector screens to replace the smaller ‘large' flat-panel displays at a fraction of the cost,” says David Rodgers, marketing manager, EliteProAV. “Making a product that can reliably handle repetitive use for many years was a tough challenge for an ambient light rejecting (ALR) material. Now that we have it mastered, this product will answer a lot of demands that this industry has put on manufacturers to fulfill.”
EliteProAV's Saker Tab-Tension CineGrey 5D projection screen merges the benefits of an ambient light rejecting (ALR) projector screen material with those of a manually retractable format. According to the company release, “ALR projection screens enhance picture quality with brighter imagery and more defined contrast levels. However, its greatest value comes from its ability to counter the “wash out” effect of ambient light. This is something highly valued since a larger-than-life projection display can now replace large TV panels at a fraction of the cost even in a brightly lit room.”
The CineGrey 5D is a .35mm thick PVC material with a silver-gray reflective textured surface and a tinted diffusion layer. The 1.5 gain material is ISF certified for its ability to achieve D65 color neutrality, contrast and dynamic range. It is available in a 16:9 aspect ratio with 100”, 120”, 135”, and 150” sizes available. Extra drop borders for high ceiling installations are included.
The angular-reflective material is designed for use with floor or ceiling-mounted projectors in either a residential or business environment. Its 110° overall half-gain angle can be used for theater-style seating. It is designed to enhance picture brightness while retaining 88% polarization during 3D presentations. For added flatness, there is a precision-made tab-tension system with side-cords running along the screen's sides.
Its retractable format gives users the ability to bring home a massive screen without dedicating wall space solely for that purpose. The Saker has an arcuate-profiled aluminum casing that is white enamel coated and equipped with flush-wall floating brackets. An installation kit along with full IR/RF control package is included. A detachable 3-way (up/stop/down) wall switch and a 5-12v trigger are included to coordinate the screen's drop and rise with the projector's power cycle. The design incorporates an RJ45 port, allowing the users to incorporate 3rd party control system integration if needed.
EliteProAV's five-year manufacturer's warranty plus an ENR-G 5% discount for purchases is available for educational, non-profit, religious and government/military organizations. Elite has regional warehouses in California, Texas, Georgia, and Maryland. Orders can be fulfilled and delivered in three-days to most locations using standard ground services.
