Frequently
Asked Questions
What is a 5-12V Trigger from Elite Screens?
* Most mid-high end projectors have a trigger port (5-12Volt port on the rear panel of the projector). This enables your
screen's drop/rise cycle to function in perfect synchronization with your projector's power cycle. We have both a direct wire
and RF wireless version of this device. As of Feb 2008, most Screen manufacturers have this function as an external box for
an extra charge. We include it.
What is the Wireless 5-12V trigger from Elite Screens? How does it work?
* The wireless 5-12V trigger device synchronizes the projection screen's drop/rise function with the projector's power cycle
by means of an RF wireless control instead of a hardwire connection. The wireless unit is attached to the projector's 5-12
volt port and transmits the RF drop/rise command to the screen once the projector is switched on or off.
What is the difference between an in-line and a wireless 3Way Wall Box?
* An In-Line 3-way wall switch is wired directly to the screen through an RJ45 port and controls the up, down & stop
functions directly. This is a very common item but our screen's internal IR & RF receivers make this a supplemental item
that is not necessary for operation. Elite's new Wireless 3-way in-wall box does the same function relying upon its RF
transmitter with an operational range up to 200 feet. It does the same function as the wall box without the presence of
unsightly wires to connect it.
What is Low Voltage Regulator and why is it important?
* Most electric screens function off of a 110-230Voltage and/or 5-12 DC Voltage power source. With a built in low voltage
regulator, you can save power and separate your DC voltage control system from your Motor operation. This allows you to
have more power for your controls from external devices such as an extended 5-12V trigger or and extended IR receiver
from anywhere in the room. It also helps make control options such as a Universal Learning Remote operate reliably.
These are optional items with other manufacturers that we include in the package.
Screen Material and Frame/Case
Is it important to have Velvet surfacing on a Fixed Frame Screen?
* Black velvet does two main functions.
1. It absorbs the light overshoot so that it does not reflect back into the audience's eyes.
2. It has an aesthetic appeal that provides the professional touch to your home theater array.
Some makers charge extra for this but it is part of the package with our EZ Frame and Elite PrimeVision DreamWindow
products.
What are the advantages to having a Fixed Frame Screen with Frame width of 2", 2.36 "or 3.5"?
* The greater width has an advantage by providing more marginal space for light overshoot. Wider frames usually cost more
but generally enhance the aesthetic appearance of your media room.
What is the advantage of black backing on the screen?
* Black Backing is an important feature that prevents light penetration and increases reflectivity for sharper color reproduc-
tion. With the exception of our AcousticPro material, all Elite front projection screens are black backed.
