New Reference X-Mask2™ Range

With an improved masking system, a slimmer, more elegant, and compact design, the performance level for fixed projection screens with masking has improved significantly thanks to Screen Research’s new Reference X-Mask2 range.

Nantes, France – March 04, 2010– Screen Research is pleased to announce the availability with immediate effect, of the new Reference X-Mask2 projection screen range.  The new series replaces the previous X-Mask™ range, offering significant design advances to both the installer and end-user.

The new Reference X-Mask2 range includes features:

• A very elegant design and finish
• The Flush-housing, SlimFrame™ design with Handcrafted Velour frame finish provides a very compact frame with low visual and physical impact, whilst maintaining excellent image borders.
• Reduced distance between masks, frame, and projection surface minimizes any shadow cast on the projection surface, preserving a pristine projected image.
• New very  precise motors and improved mask mechanism
• Exclusive QuietGlide™ motor mounting and masking system gives smooth and quiet masking system operation.
• Somfy® ILT precision positioning motors offer precise positioning of masks, matching the viewable image perfectly.
• The new Motor Control System offers 8 fully precise presets as standard, or 20 presets with a Crestron® module interface, allowing virtually any viewable image ratio to be set. Variable masking allows flexibility in setting a range of viewable image ratios

The Reference X-Mask2 range is available in 16/9, 2.40 or the new PMI 2.0 Constant Surface Masking concept. This minimizes the difference in viewable image areas and allows the image formats to be more consistent, providing a more enjoyable viewing experience.

“This Reference X-Mask2 series is definitely a major improvement in our very successful range of masking systems for fixed screens. Together with the use of our patented mask guidance mechanism; this product includes all the newest features and options required for the perfect answer to more demanding High-End Home Theater applications. This in line with the Screen Research philosophy of offering no-compromise products to the market” comments Yves Trélohan, C.E.O and Founder of Screen Research.

SlimFrame Low-profile Design

The new SlimFrame and housing design offers significant space saving and performance advantages for the installer. The new frame and housing reduces the profile of the structure by 30%. This reduces the overall size of the screen, making it more flexible to install. It has the added benefit of reducing on-site installation time by approximately 50% over its predecessor.

The Flush-housing frame housing features flush frame joints, resulting in a more elegant aesthetic and reduced distance between the image masks and the projection surface. This minimizes any shadow cast by the projected image, keeping the viewable image pristine.

Somfy ILT Precision Motors

The new step-by-step precision positioning motors allow greater accuracy for masking positions. The new motor control system allows up to 8 presets when used with the MCS-ILT control box and 20 presets with a Crestron® module interface. The control input protocols available for this new range are Infrared, RS232, and RS485

QuietGlide Masking Guidance System

QuietGlide is a new, sophisticated masking and guidance system. Its upgraded motor suspensions eliminate mechanical vibrations, significantly reducing noise levels when in use, extending product life. The result is a screen with quiet and smooth operation, suitable for the most sophisticated of Home Theater installations.

THX®-certified acoustically transparent masks allow viewable image masking without compromising the audio performance of Screen research’s acoustically transparent screen fabrics.

Amsterdam RAI, Netherlands, Hall 1 – Booth 1L53 ( 2 – 4 February 2010 )

Screen Research will be one of the partners taking part in the Home Cinema Europe feature at this year’s Integrated Systems Europe show, to be held at the Amsterdam RAI at the beginning of February 2010.

Dealers can easily and comprehensively specify and order any screen.

Nantes, France – August 28, 2009 – Screen Research announced the launch of its new online Screen Configurator Tool. This gives integrators and dealers a comprehensive, streamlined process for designing, specifying and ordering screens to fit every install. They can now define a screen model, native image ratio and size, screen fabric, motor control system and any available options through an intuitive, easy-to-use, automated process.

• Innovative and intuitive, automated process offers comprehensive information on every Screen Research projection screen, giving integrators everything they need to ensure the perfect screen for any space
• Future-proof data engine ensures that product information is always up to date
• Home Theater Screen Calculator provides optimal screen size, seating charts and light requirements for a given space
• Fail-safe design allows integrators to choose options that are compatible with selected screen and  notifies the user if changes occur in specifications
• Full drawings of each project available in PDF format show the integrator the full specifications and installation process and can be distributed easily by email to all members of the project team.
• Ability to save up to 25 projects per user, allowing integrators to reuse and modify existing projects for future use

With the new Configurator Tool, integrators gain access to everything needed to ensure the perfect screen for a particular space. Comprehensive information and specifications on products, accessories and downloadable user guides are available for all Screen Research products, and the tool’s future-proof data engine ensures that all information is always up to date.

Integrators simply enter the size of a room, and the tool’s Home Theater Screen Calculator provides the optimal screen size, as well as seating charts and light requirements for the optimal viewing. The tool automatically selects the proper accessories and motor control systems to ship with the product, and informs the integrator of other available options.

To avoid errors, the Configurator only allows users to select options that are compatible with a selected screen. A progress bar allows installers to see where they are in the process, and easily go back to make desired changes; there is never a need to delete a project and start again. If any chosen option changes the original specification, the Configurator notifies the integrator and prompts them to confirm that the new specifications are suitable for their install.

The Configurator generates full drawings for each project. Once a screen is configured and all options are chosen, the integrator receives a final PDF of the designed screen, including all specification drawings and installation information. The PDF can be instantly emailed to Screen Research to quickly and easily process a purchase order or quote request, or sent to project managers or customers. Any user can save up to 25 designs for future use.

Integrators who used Screen Research’s previous configuration tool do not need to re-register. All current user information is transferred to the new Configurator. From today’s launch date, all product orders, quotes and custom requests will be submitted through the Configurator.
