Motorized screen with masking

The ClearPix motorized screen is a decorator-friendly solution, allowing the flexible placement of this retractable screen together with the no-compromise quality of the ClearPix product range. Motorized, it simply leaves the space when not in use.

A full range of ClearPix motorized screens is now available with a masking system to manage different image formats. Depending on the model, they have either a single mask (top or sides) or multiple sets of masks (top or sides), allowing them to meet your particular needs. All of our ClearPix Motorized screens, with or without masking, are completely acoustically transparent and certified by THX and ISF.

All of our ClearPix screens can be equipped with our black backing layer, which is acoustically transparent and certified by THX and ISF, to suppress reflections from behind the screen and improve the perceived contrast ratio.ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ

Image sizes (height and length) can then vary, according to the required formats. The standard native format is 16/9 (1.78) but it can also be adapted to any specific format.

- The XMask CineScope and Widescope, includes the lateral masks of the Ultimate and has a 2.35 or 16/9 format. They allow the viewer to maintain a constant height for the image, no matter what its format.

- The XMask Scope, offers two horizontal and independent masks and is available in 16/9 and in 4/3 formats.
