CERRITOS, Calif., Sept 10, 2010— Elite Screens, Inc. an innovative company that specializes in high quality projection screens, is pleased to announce that their Osprey Tension Dual 2.35:1 / 16:9 tandem projection screen has won Custom Retailer Magazine’s Excite Award.
Each year CustomRetailer invites nominations of products that stand out for being innovative, high-performing and solutions-oriented for the custom installation professional.
“The latest projection industry technologies are now producing anamorphic lenses or lens memory options that allow projectors to put out either a 16:9 HDTV or 2.35:1 Cinemascope image.” said David Rodgers, marketing manager, Elite Screens, Inc. “Elite’s Osprey dual format projection screen is the perfect solution to producing both aspect ratios in one versatile product.”
The Osprey Tension Dual Motorized Home Cinema Projection screen features a dual screen format running a native 2.35:1 and a 16:9 screen in tandem with the push of a button while maintaining a centered image coordinated to the projector’s lens memory. It utilizes our CineWhite tensioned matte white front projection material that provides a flat viewing surface with the aid of its adjustable side tension cords.
As is customary with Elite’s electric screens, a full control package is included with internal IR and RF receivers, IR and RF remotes, and an RJ45 Ethernet port. When other manufacturers are charging extra for such features, Elite Screens include these standard accessories and features to our customer at no extra charge.
