SI Announces Several New Projection Screens, Projection Screen Materials, and Associated Technologies Which Deliver Image Quality and Immersive Experience Rivaling Flat Panel Displays

AUSTIN, Texas and INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- (CEDIA Expo Booth #2225) -- Screen Innovations (SI) will demonstrate for CEDIA Expo 2012 attendees an impressive new lineup of projection screens and screen materials for residential and commercial applications. On display will be the new Black Diamond Motorized and Black Diamond Zero Edge G2 projection screen as well as several new versions of the lesser-known Lunar(TM) Gray and Solar(TM) White screen materials, and a brand new rear-projection screen material called FlexGlass(TM) that is the first of its kind within the SI line. Demonstrating game-changing technologies that can easily represent a greater value per square inch in the video category than traditional flat panel displays, CEDIA Expo 2012 attendees are sure to be captivated with what they see in Screen Innovations booth #2225.

New: Black Diamond(TM) Motorized
A new and truly unique motorized design utilizing SI's award-winning Black Diamond ambient light rejection screen technology, Black Diamond Motorized is a sleek and sexy flat-panel alternative that actually disappears when not in use, ideal for virtually any environment or application. Utilizing one motor, four custom helixes, and a spool of slender aircraft cable, Black Diamond Motorized silently lowers a thin wing containing the rolled Black Diamond screen downward from a recessed ceiling-mounted cassette. The cable-hung wing then stops, and from it, a small tube quickly emerges and lowers itself down to an adjustable, pre-determined image height, leaving only the image space in sight. Because Black Diamond screens do not require masking or any black drop material whatsoever, there is no visible material above, below, or on either side of the screen surface, allowing the images projected on Black Diamond Motorized to appear as though they are suspended in air. Unlike flat panel TVs, Black Diamond Motorized delivers zero glare and reflection when used in a bright environment, and by virtue of its industry-leading Black Diamond ambient light rejection screen technology, light scatter is measurably reduced by over 75%. Delivering a next-level entertainment experience while literally disappearing into the room's existing décor when not in use, Black Diamond Motorized appeals to the senses - and satisfies the needs of - a diverse audience.
