Ceiling Ambient Light Rejecting Projection Screen

Sable Frame StarBright® 14

Ambient Light Rejecting Screens

The Sable Frame StarBright® 14 is a fixed frame  projection screen that utizlies a high-gain front projection material with ceiling ambient light (CLR®/ALR) rejecting technolgy designed for use in environments where ambient light cannot be entirely controlled. An added value is that it works exceptionally well in improving contrast in dark room environments as it does with high levels of ambient light.

The StarBright® 14 CLR/ALR front proejction surface is a true optical lens based front projection screen material. Its specialized filter design eliminates ambient light wash-out by reflecting only the direct projected image. The results are superior image brightness levels with enhanced contrast and color neutrality. It features a retro-reflective surface that directs projector light to the audience reducing light scatter.

Sable Frame Series FAQ’s

Q: What is the difference between the version 1 and version 2 of the (Lunette, SableFrame, ezFrame) Series?
Q. What is the difference between the version 1 and version 2 of the (Lunette, SableFrame, ezFrame) Series?

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.

Q : Can I flush mount my fixed frame screen directly to the wall/ceiling? I would like the top of the frame to be exactly where the ceiling and wall meet.
Q : Can I flush mount my fixed frame screen directly to the wall/ceiling? I would like the top of the frame to be exactly where the ceiling and wall meet.

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.
