Screens Wrap frames and static masking.
Due to the innovation in digital projection such as laser projection the projected images are crisper and don't need physical masking as with 35mm film where feathering around the edge of the image was an issue.
With technologies moving quickly more and more mainstream multiplex cinema operators that rely on mass customer ticket acquisitions are edging away from moving masking systems, wrap and fixed frames are cheaper and have no need servicing as do moving masking systems.
Not having a moving masking system releases the projection wall to have picture almost filling the whole wall, giving customers a more immersive experience when watching the feature.
keeping up with technology with filmmakers using new formats like a 2:1 format in their film production, incorporating other cutting edge technologies that innovate theatre design giving a fresh new contemporary feel.
You have choice of projection screen surface's including matt white, gain screens, 3d silvers screen all are avalible with perforations to let the sound through the screen surface or without perforations. Frames can be curved and tilting back if required.
Frames can incorporate speaker platforms with servicing platforms and access ladders, For safety we can include safety rails, fall arrest systems, safety lanyards and harnesses.
Wrap-around frames
Wrap frames also known as Halo screen frames, floating screen frames, and wrap around screen frames, are used when masking is not necessary if you have a fixed format for instance.
Wrap-around frames projection screen surfaces go around the perimeter of the frame and wraps back and then tires off to the back lacing rail so the screen is tensioned and no lacing can be seen, we can add static masking above(top apron) below(bottom apron) and to the sides(dress legs), of the perimeter of the wrap frame installed 100mm back to hide the projection wall giving it a floating or halo effect.
Wrap arounds are usually mounted to a frame they can be mounted directly to a wall, if you don't need speakers behind the screen surface.
Static masking frames
Static masking frames are also known as fixed masking frames have black masking around the perimeter of the box frame, black masking is needed to create your exact format and hide the lacing, the black masking is always visible.we can add static masking cloths above(top apron) below(bottom apron) and to the sides(dress legs), of the perimeter of the fixed masking frame installed flush with front of the frame to hide the projection wall.
