Active 3D– All of Elite Screens’ materials are compatible with active 3D projectors. The system utilized by Active 3D projector setups does result in an overall loss in brightness however. When 3D mode is activated on a projector, up to 50% of the lumen output is lost. The image brightness is further diminished as the…
A Hot Spot occurs when a projection screen cannot evenly diffuse a strong light signal creating a noticeably brighter area in the picture. With rear-projection screens, it will appear to viewers as a bright spot marking the location of the projector’s lens behind the screen. This is a common occurrence in rear projection screens; essentially…
Black Backing is an important feature that prevents light penetration and increases reflectivity for sharper color reproduction.
Screen material selection will depend on various factors such as type of application, environment, and projector. Please see the screen material selection guide for a better understanding of the materials we offer. Screen Material Selection Guide
3D Polarized Silver Screen: Elite Screens Airbright3D2 on either a fixed frame or tensioned electric “roll-up” configuration. Two Projectors (DLP or LCD or Lcos), any brand ok. *Pref. matching models that have the same resolution, aspect ratio, and throw distance for the best results.
The percent of gain difference between 1.0 and 1.1 is 10%. A gain of 10% brightness is gained from the projector’s lumens output. Example : If a projector has 1000 lumens you’d gain 10% if the material gain is 1.1. 1000 x 1.1 = 1100
Ultra/Short-throw projectors require a flat projection surface since the projector’s light is closer to the material. Non-tensioned screen materials may exhibit minor wave or curls which may be more pronounced if using an ultra/short-throw projector. We recommend using a Fixed Frame Screen or a Tab-Tension screen with PVC such as our CineWhite® flexible material which…
