JVC announces CinePro and CineClear rear projection screens (7/6/2004)

JVC Professional announces the CinePro and CineClear range of rear projection screens, which JVC professional is distributing throughout Europe. The screens special quality is that they can be mounted "in air" in high ambient light and still provide a high level of contrast.

The CinePro screens differentiate themselves from the mainstream rear projection screens, with their ability to show high quality, high contrast images without the shrouding or encasement normally needed to avoid ambient light. At first glance, the CinePro Super High Contrast screen appears almost black; that is until projected upon. The resulting image is rendered with a tonal contrast range unprecedented in rear projection. Blacks are truly black and whites are white, creating vibrant, accurate pictures.

With a range of 4:3 and 16:9 format rigid screens, from 50" to 200" diagonal, the line-up of optical acrylic panels offer a wide range of installation possibilities. All of the screens enable a wide viewing angle of up to 170o, so that (i) audience spread can be maximised and (ii) picture visibility is exceptional no matter what the angle of approach by the viewer to the front of the screen. This makes them ideal for areas where there is high pedestrian "traffic" flow.

There is a choice of five different types of optical acrylic, single element panel, each with its own preferred application. For flexibility of installation, they can be either suspended from a ceiling or floor-mounted in a frame.

The CineClear screen is completely transparent and yet can display standard images from a single projector to create an apparent 3-D image. This transparent screen panel is best suited to retail displays, hotel foyers, exhibitions, theme parks etc. It is a lightweight, transparent, rear projection screen with clear refractive optical particles that are sealed in a water-clear matrix.

The CinePro range comes with 3 different opaque coatings, CinePro, CinePro HC (High Contrast) and CinePro Super HC where the contrast level can be optimised according to the ambient light resulting in bright, vivid images with excellent colour fidelity.

In the same CinePro family is CinePro Flight which has been developed specifically for flight simulation screens, where picture sharpness, image definition and colour fidelity are absolutely essential.

Bob Harris, sales manager Ð presentation products comments "We are very excited about this latest addition to our extensive presentation range. Typical environments for the application of CinePro include military and simulation, security, home cinema, HDTV theatres, electronic cinemas, 3 D imaging, board & conference rooms, preview theatres to commercial distribution, retail window displays, and exhibition display panels."
