Projecta to launch new large projection screens at Integrated Systems Europe fair (1/2/2005)

Projecta, a world leader in development, manufacture and sales of both professional and Home Cinema projection screens, is expanding its already extensive assortment with the introduction of four new large projection screens and made-to-measure screens. The new projection screens are to be launched during the upcoming Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) trade fair, which is scheduled to take place in the RAI Congress and Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam from January 26 Ð 28, 2005.

ISE is the only European-wide platform for the professional system integration market that serves both the living and the commercial environment. The fair strongly anticipates the increasing popularity of home installation in the audio/video market. Projecta is well known for its extensive assortment of high quality Home Cinema screens and professional screens. With the introduction of large and made-to-measure projection screens that are designed especially for use in large rooms, meeting rooms, cinemas and so forth, the company is further expanding its reach, offering a solution for virtually every situation.

Large projection screens for large rooms

Both the choice of a large projection screen as well as the installation require the necessary preparation. By taking fully into account the situation in which the large screen will be placed and used, one can avoid unnecessary costs and unforeseen problems.

Projecta supplies large projection screens from 3 to 20 metres wide and will even create a made-to-measure projection screen suited to meet special needs. The four new large screens each have their own specific features and stand out for their superb quality. The projection screen fabric ensures an entirely flat screen for optimum image quality and the fabric satisfies the highest standards for fire safety (M1). Each screen is equipped with a sturdy case and a strong motor. They can be mounted on the wall and / or ceiling using brackets which allow for a flexible installation either on top or back of the case. A five-year guarantee on the motor and the CE quality level is standard.

Wide, wider, widest

The GiantScreen electrol is available in widths varying from 4.5 to 7 metres. One size up is the GiantKing electrol, which ranges in widths from 7 to 10 metres. Larger yet is the JumboScreen electrol, available in widths from 7 to 12 metres. The JumboKing electrol is the largest of the four new screens, ranging in size between 13 to 20 metres.

Generally speaking, large screens are designed to be used for a longer period. A thermal overload cut-out will be activated to prevent burnout when the pause between rolling in and out is too brief. The projection screen is then put in a rest position of 15 minutes. This feature comes standard with all these models. Both the JumboScreen electrol and the JumboKing electrol are equipped with the polychinelle system, ensuring a perfectly taut fabric. Using this system, the projection screen fabric is rolled around the slat bar. The slat bar is then rolled in and out with steel cables on both sides via a pulley system. The two screens are also fitted with special safety brackets. An anti-fall blocking system prevents the metal roller from falling out of the case during emergencies. Safety is guaranteed even in this exceptional situation.

Made-to-measure

In addition to Projecta's broad range of off-the-shelf projection screens, some situations might require a customized approach. In these cases, Projecta offers made-to-measure solutions that do not compromise quality or special installation requirements. To make life easier, Projecta has standardised a number of custom adjustments to some of its electrical projection screens, including the Elpro Large electrol, Elpro (RF) electrol and Cinelpro (RF) electrol. The standardised customisation includes shortening the projection screen fabric and case, the availability of cases in different colours and a variation in borders. The motor can be mounted on the right instead of the left and the fabric may be mounted back to front, such that the projection side is at the back. Other options include extra long projection screen fabric and extra black painted projection screen fabric.

Superb picture quality

As the popularity of Home Cinema systems continues to increase, design-conscious consumers and professionals everywhere are looking for elegant and affordable solutions. The realisation that a top quality presentation requires a top quality screen is sinking in. With the right Projecta projection screen, viewers will enjoy a superb picture quality from every angle, with bright, sparkling colours that allow them to appreciate even the smallest details of the film or the presentation they are watching.

Visitors to the Projecta's stand at the ISE can see and experience the company's top-of-the-range products, varying from large and made-to-measure screens to ultra lightweight screens for mobile professional and Home Cinema use as well as the latest high-contrast screens, tension screens and plasma stands. The Projecta stand can be found in hall 8, stand 1408.
