Transcripts:

[22:11] Rick: hello my name’s Rick how may I help you?
[22:11] MONICA: Hi. I’m looking for a 200″ motorized screen for a large warehouse environment. I have a 16:9 (HDTV) projector.
[22:13] Rick: Yes, here is one of our series that provides this size of screen. It is a large motorized projector screen
[22:13] Rick: http://eliteproav.com/product/saker-plus-series/
[22:14] Rick: This is from our Elite ProAV line of Commercial grade screens for professional installers.
[22:14] Rick: Here is the model number. SK200XHW2. It’s 200” with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
[22:15] MONICA: Great, and this will work in a constantly lit room? I have no option of darkening the area. It’s a gymnasium and it is very bright. What can I do about ambient light?
[22:17] Rick: The best recommendation I can provide, is to look into the projector performance in lumen output. Since this is just a standard white projector screen, it will look fine with light control but will wash out with the lights on.
[22:17] MONICA: projector is a JVC with 5000 lumens specification.
[22:18] MONICA: Someone told me about a grey scale screen which works best in a brightly lit environment….is that something that Elite carries?
[22:19] Rick: Yes, we do have screens with ambient light reflective properties. But the one I can recommend at that size is a fix frame screen only.
[22:19] MONICA: Oh I see. May I have that model # please?
[22:19] Rick: You will need a dedicated wall for this screen. If you choose a motorized version that we have, it is smaller than 200″.
[22:19] Rick: R200DHD5
[22:20] MONICA: yes we do have a dedicated wall.
[22:20] MONICA: thank you
[22:21] Rick: This screen uses the Cinegrey 5d with 1.5 gain reflectivity. It is also specially designed to filter out off-axis light.
[22:21] MONICA: Thank you so much
[22:21] Rick: It’s my pleasure to help.
[22:22] MONICA: What is the maximum size for motorized light reflective?
[22:23] Rick: It is 135″ diagonal screen. Here is the product link.
[22:23] Rick: http://elitescreens.com/front/front/productdetail/product/36
[22:23] Rick: So there is an option, 200” fixed frame
[22:23] MONICA: got ya
[22:23] MONICA: thanks again
[22:28] Rick: you’re welcome, have a great day.
