| Description | CineWhite® has a broad light dispersion through diffusion uniformity. It enhances black & white levels while colors remain neutral. Perfectly flat projection material for the most demanding applications. | The WraithVeil® Dual is a front/rear projection material designed to accommodate both projection methods. This 2-in-1 material eliminates the need to swap out the viewing surface which makes this a very versatile product. |
CLR® is a ceiling light-rejecting front projection material designed specifically for tabletop-mounted ultra-short-throw projectors. The CLR® features a multilayer optical lens structure that absorbs light from above while providing a clear image. | The CLR® 3 is a ceiling ambient light rejecting front projection material designed for tabletop-mounted ultra-short throw projectors. It uses optical microstructures to absorb up to 90% of overhead lighting while producing clear image brightness, color saturation and contrast for superior picture performance. |
(Ceiling & ambient Light Rejecting) Dark grey material absorbs 90% of overhead lighting | The CineWhite® Acoustic 8K is the acoustically sound transparent front projection material. Compatible with ultra/short, and standard throw projectors | The AcousticPro UHD is a moiré-free acoustically transparent front projection screen material. The dense synthetic weave is compatible with Ultra-High Definition/4K resolutions. The AcousticPro UHD design maximizes sound penetration with minimal attenuation without compromising picture quality. |
