5 Stewart Filmscreen Projection Screens Featuring Somfy Motorization

 

Stealth Trapdoor ElectriScreen by Stewart Filmscreen featuring Somfy Motorization

 

 

The Stealth Trapdoor was engineered for use within multi-purpose room environments where the screen must disappear completely from sight when not in use. The dual-motor design allows the trapdoor and screen to operate independently, improving product longevity and serviceability. The electronically controlled retractable screen and trapdoor system is quiet and deploys and retracts with the touch of a button. Now watch this video on The Stealth Trapdoor Screen:

 

Visionary ElectriScreen by Stewart Filmscreen featuring Somfy Motorization

 

 

The Visionary ElectriScreen is the most innovative and installation friendly retractable electric screen on the market. The two-piece ceiling-recessed all aluminum screen housing can be installed and hard-wired during early stages of construction, while the ceiling finishing bezel and screen material assembly can be installed during the final stages of construction when the building environment is clean and free from contamination. The Visionary features a self-finishing architectural white bottom plate and its recessed screen housing features adjustable drywall flanges to accommodate various ceiling configurations.

CineCurve with Total Close Masking System by Stewart Filmscreen featuring Somfy Motorization

 

Many Hollywood blockbusters are produced in formats such as Cinemascope where the movie is 2.35 times wider than it is high. When watching this aspect ratio on a 16:9 screen, 33% of the pixels are used to create annoying black bars, therefore reducing onscreen image resolution.


Designed for use with an anamorphic lens, the Stewart Filmscreen CineCurve features a native 2.40:1 image area allowing full enjoyment and flexibility when watching movies in super-wide screen formats. Maintaining a constant vertical height, two electronically controlled masking panels glide in from the left and right to create a perfectly framed image area when viewing different types of media or movies filmed in various aspect ratios. And, when the system is not being used the masking panels can fully close to completely protect the screen. 

Video Conference Screen (VCS) by Stewart Filmscreen featuring Somfy Motorization

 

The Video Conference Screen (VCS) is a custom electric retractable system outfitted with a customized housing that holds a camera and has a trapdoor to conceal the system when not in use. The three motors allow the screen, camera port, and trapdoor to work independently from each other; therefore the screen can be deployed with or without the camera or vice versa.


Positioned underneath the screen, the camera is less visible to conference video conference screen participants, who might be uncomfortable with cameras that are in full view. Eliminating cameras on the wall creates a cleaner installation and an atmosphere of productivity and teamwork. At Stewart Filmscreen, we are committed to providing seamless solutions for business and videoconferencing applications. Now watch this video on The VCS Video Conference Screen:

An ideal retrofit or new construction solution, this screen can seamlessly integrate into any environment. The Cabaret is perfect for the board room, conference room, or executive suite, as well as for creating “on-demand” media rooms within the family room, bedroom, or any multi-functional entertainment space inside the home.
