Ultra short throw projectors are a very specialized piece of gear for AV environments. Such a specialized piece of gear needs the right screen material or it’s not going to work. This discussion says a lot about UST projectors and the right materials to use with them.

• Informative video on using the right material with UST projectors – https://elitescreens.com/elitetube/UST_Compatibility.mp4
• UST / CLR instruction sheet – https://elitescreens.com/images/download/material/userguides/StarBright_CLR_Installation_Tip.pdf

Transcripts:

• [19:30]        Rick: hello, how may I help you.
• [19:31] Customer: Hi… I’m wondering if the CineGrey5D material is compatible with Ultra short throw projectors…
• [19:31] Customer: or, what options I might have for UST (ultra-short throw) that are retractable
• [19:33]        Rick: no, this material’s ambient light reflective properties will filter out a UST projector. Here is a screen material that is specifically made for UST projectors.

• [19:33]        Rick: This sheet is an example how it performs.
• [19:33]        Rick: https://elitescreens.com/images/download/material/userguides/StarBright_CLR_Installation_Tip.pdf
• [19:35] Customer: Looks nice, but this is fixed frame, right?
• [19:36]        Rick: The design has the same aesthetics as a flat panel TV and to date, needs to have perfect flatness to work right.  For that reason
• [19:36] Customer: So Cinegrey materials are only good for long-throw projectors
• [19:36] Customer: Correct?
• [19:43]        Rick: That is correct.
• [19:43]        Rick: Here is a video on how this screen performs in the day.  It is undoctored and sent in by one of our customers.

• [19:45] Customer: Awesome, thanks for the help.
• [19:47]        Rick: Thank you for choosing Elite Screens
