AliceJust in time for ISE 2017, Stewart Filmscreen has announced that its Phantom HALR is shipping one month ahead of schedule, available to dealers now in seamless sizes up to 40-feet by 90-feet (12.1m by 27.4m).
Future-proofed with 16K+ resolution and UHD and HDR-ready, the highly differentiated Phantom HALR high ambient light rejecting screen material is suited for fixed-frame wallscreen or electric roller screen applications for both commercial and residential applications.
According to the manufacturer, Phantom HALR is ‘unlike any other black screen on the market’ in that it can be perforated for acoustic transparency, which includes Stewart Filmscreen’s proprietary Cinemaperf or Microperf X2 THX Ultra technology.
A key feature for installers and customers alike is the fact that Phantom HALR delivers an image that meets ANSI standard industry contrast ratio specs even in a room with high ambient light with more than 50 foot-candles of light shining directly on the screen.
“It’s huge – 40ft by 90ft and is rollable,” Vijita U.G, marketing manager, Stewart Filmscreen told CE Pro Europe at CEDIA 2016. “One benefit that our competitors can’t do is that it’s acoustically transparent, so we are able to microperf it or cinemaperf it. Our screen is multi-directional in the ambient light that it’s able to do, whereas our competitors are unidirectional. Here at the show, harsh lighting is coming from every angle but it is still producing nice images.
“It’s also future-proofed as it has 16K + resolution,” she added. “This is because our screen material is able to handle six lines of information per mm, so if you had a 10ft wide screen that would be about 3,048mm – that times six is about 18,000, but we chose 16 as it’s a nice, round number. The old dealers of ours have said ‘finally!’ when they have seen it on the booth. This will be shipping Q1 everywhere and is available from CAVD in the UK.”
Attendees at ISE 2017 can see Phantom HALR on the Stewart Filmscreen stand: 1-F41.
