Da-Lite Unveils Multiple Format Screen

Da-Lite Screen Company is announcing at CEDIA, September 24-26, the latest addition to its line of multiple format screens - the Horizon Electrol. The Horizon Electrol allows the projection screen to automatically adapt to the projectorís format. The horizon Electrol adjusts the aspect ratio of the screenís surface by raising or lowering the screen and the horizontal masking system in opposite directions with the push of a button. The Horizon Electrol automatically stops the screenís surface in the up, down and three other preset positions to allow the format of the screen to become either Video, HDTV, Letterbox or Anamorphic. The motorized masking system comes down while the screen fabric automatically comes up insuring that the centerline of the projection screen is always in the correct position to the projector regardless of the format. The Horizon Electrol is available in either a tensioned or a non-tensioned version in a variety of fabrics.Also new to the Da-Lite product line and on exhibit at CEDIA is the Audio Vision project screen fabric. Audio Vision is an acoustically transparent front projection screen fabric that allows home theatre systems to get yet another step closer to the exciting experience of major theatres.This fabric allows the placement of the center channel speaker behind the screen for optimum sound-to-picture match while still transmitting the full range and brilliance of an original soundtrack with maximum clarity. Audio Vision is available on all Da-Liteís tensioned screens in sizes up to and including 120-inch diagonal. The fabric is also available as drop on any of the companyís tensioned electric screens.For more information, contact Becky Shepard at 219 267 8101.
