New VMAX Dual Electric Screen Offers Alternating HDTV and Widescreen Projection Surfaces In Standard Or Tab-Tensioned Format

July 31, 2015

Elite Screens Inc., one of America’s leading projection

screen manufacturers, is proud to announce the launch of its VMAX Dual Series, an electric 

projection screen that actually contains a pair of alternating materials with either a 16:9 or 2.35:1 

The screen comes as a fully assembled, “plug & play” product. It is also equipped with a full 

installation package including L brackets as well as a Radio Frequency remote control. A simple click 

of the button allows you to use whichever aspect ratio you need.  It even has a wireless 12 volt 

trigger to coordinate your screen’s rise and drop with the projector’s power cycle.

“Most TV content is aired in HDTV or a 16:9 aspect ratio while most blockbuster movies are in 

Widescreen” said Dave Rodgers, Marketing Manager of Elite Screens. “Projectors typically present 

in both formats so why not have a projection screen that can keep up with that? This problem is 

easily solved by using the VMAX Dual anamorphic projection screen that will fit the full complement 

The VMAX Dual provides an alternating HDTV and Widescreen projection surface to match your 

projector’s format in either mode. It has lens memory alignment to make sure screen and image 

are in perfect synch regardless of the mode you choose for watching television or theater film 

presentations. It has a heavy-duty black metal casing that is suitable for either a wall or ceiling 

installations.  Mounting brackets are included to ensure a secure installation. 

The VMAX Dual utilizes two independently functioning projection screens, one HDTV and the other 

in Widescreen format. It comes with a standard MaxWhite 1.1 Gain material. There is “tensioned” 

option as well in the Vmax Tension Dual that uses Elite’s 1.1 gain CineWhite Tab-Tensioned 

material. Both options provide a wide viewing angle giving the audience equal brightness no matter 

where they are seated.  The material is also black backed to eliminate light penetration for greater 

brightness. Lastly, the material also has a black matte on the sides with extended top and bottom 

masking to enhance visual appeal and perceived contrast of the projected image.  

The control package includes a radio frequency remote with independent 16:9 and 2.35:1 aspect 

ratio buttons to select the right format.  The remote control also serves as a wireless 5-12 volt 

trigger that can actually synchronize the screen’s drop and rise with the projector’s power cycle.  Its 

default  setting will bring down the HDTV (or 16:9) and then you have free reign to select which 

Elite Screens’ VMAX Dual Projection Screen is available now and has a starting price at $859 (USD) 

and will now be available in a range of sizes in either a standard or tab-tensioned format through 

the retail sales channel. It comes with Elite’s 2-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 3-year ENR-G 

warranty for Educational, Non-Profit, Religious and Government/Military organizations.
