Yard Master 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.

In order to have less memory lines or “wrinkles” from folding, here are a few tips. Don’t fold tightly or try to fold over the material as compact as possible. Both will leave pronounced memory lines. It is recommended to take note of how lightly folded the screen material was when it came from the factory and repeat that whenever you are packing the screen away. Another method when storing the screen is to gently and loosely roll the material and keep it in a safe, dry space at an optimal room temperature.

Wrinkles or lines found on the Yard Master projection material in most cases disappear when the material is stretched over the frame. If in case they don’t, we recommend using a fabric steamer to eliminate any lines or wrinkles.

Eventually, yes. It is recommended that no projection screen, regardless of manufacturer/model be permanently left outside and exposed directly to the elements. The yardmaster is made for temporary outdoor events such as day excursions or weekend camping trips. It has a rolled sheet steel alloy frame that is coated in a rust-resistant black enamel for outdoor events. Just like any other piece of audio-video equipment, proper care and storage is required to maximize the Yardmaster’s operational lifespan.

In a calm wind below 10mph, yes. If it exceeds the 10mph, there is a chance of damaging the frame or the material itself.

Either way will work just fine. However, it is best to first pack the screen into its canvas carrying pouch which is included. This accessory was designed to protect the screen when you store it.

The Yard Master 2 / Yard Master 2 WraithVeil Dual / Yard Master Plus Series products are portable outdoor screens that can be left in a safe area outside for a few nights. It is not designed to be a permanent fixed frame and left assembled for a long period of time indoors or outdoors.
