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.

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.

- [19:35] 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.
