ezFrame 2 Rear Series

The reflective properties of the Wraith Veil rear projection material may cause a hot spot.  This is normal for this material and thus, the following should be considered to reduce the possibility of having a hot spot.

1. Reduce the output power of the projector. Choose a lower lumens (brightness) setting like Cinema for example.
2. Avoid using ultra/short-throw projectors since the bulb will be very close to the material.
3. Move the projector further away from the screen.  This will increase the throw distance of the projector, and will effectively reduce the intensity of the image brightness.
4. Reposition the projector relative to the audience.  Raising the projector’s height or lowering it so it is not projecting directly into the viewer’s line of sight.  Use vertical lens shift to achieve vertical off-axis projection and use the keystone adjuster to restore the image’s rectangular shape.
5. Another idea is to position the projector horizontally off-axis so that the projector’s glare will not be in the viewer’s line of sight.

While the frame structure and screen material performance remain the same between the version 1 and version 2 of the (Lunette, SableFrame,ezFrame) series, there are two main differences.

– Version 2 features a newly designed material that has a rubber-edge border (does not apply to AcousticPro materials) which makes installation a lot easier and a lot less time consuming.
– Version 2 comes with an installation kit that includes wood screws & improved dry-wall anchors, wall brackets, screwdriver, and a mallet.

Both of these new features help speed up the overall process of assembly and installation of your fixed frame projection screen.

The Sable Frame and ezFrame frame have different frame designs. The SableFrama has an Astragal (half round surface flanked by 2-flat sides) profile as opposed to the ezFrame’s standard (wedge or sloped-edgethe frames are different only to suit different aesthetic needs.  Please see this PDF for an illustration of the differences.  Both frames come in 16:9, 16:10, and 2.35:1 aspect ratios. Both are also available in Cinegrey, Cinegrey5d, Cinewhite™, Powergain, and AcousticPro1080P2. The ezFrame is different in that it is also 4:3 aspect ratio and it is available with AcousticPro1080P3 and WraithVeil(rear projection) screen material.

Elite Screens offers replacement materials for 4:3, 16:9, and 2.35:1 fixed frame screens.

In addition to an appealing aesthetic appearance, the advantage of having a black velvet covered frame is to help absorb projector overshoot.

Center support bar for larger size fixed frame screens goes inside the top of the groove located on the back of the frame.

Elite Screens does not recommend attempting such an installation as in most cases it would not be possible. This is because the frame has to be lifted directly above and then placed down onto the brackets. The brackets will then latch onto the grooves of the frame and hold it in place. Mounting the wall brackets flush to the wall and ceiling would not provide the clearance needed for the frame to be lifted above the brackets. Elite Screens recommends the wall brackets be placed no closer than 4-6”(depending on the thickness of the frame) below the ceiling as that ditstance would give you the clearance needed to lift the screen above and then onto the brackets.
