—
A reflective surface
laminated to a woven textile base. The screen surface hangs suitably flat
because of the stability of the material and the weight of the bottom dowel.
Good for all types of projection.

HITE
—Diffuses projected light in all directions, so image
can be seen from any angle. Has accurate color rendition and superior
clarity. Requires control of ambient light in the audience area.
Washable, flame and mildew resistant.

EADED
—Spherical glass beads embedded in surface provide
brighter on-axis viewing than Matt White, within a narrower viewing
cone. Glass beaded surfaces have some loss of clarity and perform best
with table-mounted projectors. Flame and mildew resistant, cannot be
cleaned. Seamless in standard sizes through 0 high.

ONTRAST
G
REY
—Grey surface offers excellent resolution while
enhancing blacks, even as whites and lighter colors are maintained.
Performs well in ambient light. Lower gain of 0.8 allows use with even
the brightest projectors. Seamless in sizes up to 8 in height.
AT1200
AND
AT G
REY
—Similar in gain performance to Matt White,
with acoustical properties comparable to the finest speaker grille cloth.
Washable, flame and mildew resistant. Available in sizes through
72˝ X 96˝ or 0 diagonal. AT200 is white; AT GREY is grey for high
contrast. Acoustically transparent fabrics are not recommended for
screens smaller than 80˝ wide when used with LCD or DLP projectors.

RAPER
offers motorized, crank-operated and
permanently tensioned screens with built-in tensioning systems.
Advantage—
The surface is stretched perfectly flat, resulting in better picture quality.
Highly recommended for video or data-graphics projection.
M1300
—The perfect Matt White diffusing surface. For use with
any type of projector in rooms where the light level can be reasonably
controlled. Washable.
M2500
—A high-contrast front viewing surface with excellent
resolution and high gain. M2500 tolerates a higher ambient light level
than most other front projection screen surfaces.

REY
—A grey front projection surface that provides excellent
contrast and black reproduction with a low gain to handle today’s
super-bright projectors. Enhances color contrast, black levels and allows
for more ambient light.
C
INEFLEX
—A neutral grey vinyl for rear projection. CINEFLEX has high
resolution and excellent contrast, even in lighted rooms. For use with
any type of projection equipment.

ELECTION
:
• G
AIN
—a relative measure of a screen’s reflectivity. Charts (at right)
depict gain values (reflectivity) at various points, measured in degrees
from projection axis. These charts help judge uniformity. The flatter
the curve in the portion of the viewing cone where viewers sit, the
more consistent the image they will perceive. The quality of an
image which we perceive is primarily a function of gain, contrast,
uniformity and resolution.
• C
ONTRAST
—the ability to accurately reproduce and differentiate light
and dark colors.
• A
MBIENT
LIGHT
REJECTION
PROPERTIES
—the ability to perform well
under normal to adverse audience lighting conditions.
• R
ESOLUTION
—the clarity of the projected image.
• U
NIFORMITY
—the screen’s performance when viewed from various
points off the projection axis (both horizontally and vertically), and
when the brightness of the center of the image is compared to the
corners.
