a front projection screen material that rejects the washout effects of room lighting
StarBright CLR® 2
Compatible Projection :
The StarBright CLR® 2 (SBCLR® 2) is a front projection screen material that rejects the washout effects of room lighting and is made specifically for table-top short throw and ultra-short throw projector arrays. Unlike white screen materials, CLR® 2 is specially designed using optical microstructures to absorb or “reject” up to 90% of overhead lighting. White materials are indiscriminate in the light sources it reflects. The scratch-resistant laminate coating allows the StarBright CLR® 2 (SBCLR® 2) material to double as a dry-erase “whiteboard” while producing exceptional image brightness, color saturation and contrast for superior picture performance.

Ceiling mounted UST projector will not work with CLR®/ CLR® 2/ CLR® 3 flipped upside down because the material is specifically oriented to reject “absorb” lighting from above. In addition it is designed to properly accept tabletop mounted UST projector light and direct it to the viewer’s sweet spot. If the material is flipped upside down and there is overhead light, that light will not be rejected but instead reflected which would degrade the picture quality. In addition, the ceiling mounted UST projector light will still not likely align properly with the human eye to deliver the ideal “sweet-spot” picture performance.

CLR®/CLR®2/CLR®3 and CineGrey 3D/5D are Ceiling Ambient Light Rejection Screen fabrics, however the CLR fabrics are especially designed for Ultra Short Throw (UST) Projectors to reject ambient light. The CineGrey 3D/5D are typically made for standard “long-throw” projectors and require the projected light (angle in) to reflect (angle out) at the same angle to the viewer’s eyes, “sweet spot”.
Ceiling mounted UST projectors will not even work with Starbright CLR® materials because the material is specifically orientated to reject “ceiling light” or any type of lighting from above. This means that the screen will reject any overhead light, even from a compatible projector. Theoretically, you could invert the Starbright CLR® material to match with an inverted UST projector but the alignment will still not likely align properly with the human eye to deliver the ideal “sweet-spot” picture performance.
The steep light from an Ultra-Short Throw projector causes the halo effect and can spill light around the frame. There is no way to solve it, but it can be mitigated by painting your wall a darker color, or putting a velvet border around the screen frame.
