ProMask-CH

Two-way flat constant image height automated masking screen

The ProMask-CH is the supreme flat masking screen for constant image height video projection masking with or without anamorphic lenses.

The ProMask-CH masks up to 200 aspect ratios while maintaining a constant image height. The ProMask-Curv integrates into all automation systems and can be controlled by dry contact, RS-232, RS-422, IP, wall control, IR or RF remote controls along with Z-Wave.

All Pro-Mask systems accommodate our front and rear, solid and acoustically transparent projection screen surfaces and are available with our acoustic and non-acoustic masking panels.

SmX is proud to offer the absolute blackest light absorbing mask panels in the industry.

The purpose of a masking system is to mask off those annoying black bars or the unused portion of your projection screen while viewing projected content. It is extremely important to have the absolute blackest masking to do the job and here is why.

When you are watching dark projected content such as night scenes and space scenes in movies or television that is masked off, the lighter colored mask panels (shown below) are still visible. If the purpose of having a masking system is to mask of the projected black bars but you can still see them, then the masking system is not serving its purpose. Our black hole audio transparent and solid mask panels are completely non existent in dark scenes.

Why does this matter? The projectors unused projected black bars get masked off by these mask panels. Even though the projector is not suppose to be projecting light in this unused black area, light still gets through. In order to effectively take advantage of the perceived increase of contrast that masking offers, the mask panels need to completely absorb that strayed light and dissapear.

Screen Material

All of our fixed frame and masking systems come complete with any one of our fine front projection screen surfaces, including our proprietary patent pending CineWeave™ HD White or Grey audio transparent screen surface, the CineMatte Plus solid screen surface, or any of our rear projection screen surfaces.

The combination of any of these screen surfaces matched with any of our projection screen systems provides the highest quality projection screen available on the market.

All Projection Screens are Not Created Equal

CineWeave™ HD A screen surface so good that Hollywood post production studios use it to produce the very same movies you will ultimately be watching on it. 

One of the integral parts of SmX is the SmX CineWeave™ HD, an audio transparent projection screen surface that will not only provide one of the most incredible projected images you will ever see, but will also allow audio to pass through the projection screen surface with out distortion.

Pure Color Accuracy

The CineWeave projection screen surface starts with pure color accuracy. The specially formulated white color of the CineWeave achieves dead neutral accurate color reproduction. 

Other video projection screens can color shift, making projected images appear to push blue, green, or red. This push of color creates an unnatural balance to your projected image. The CineWeave™ HD is completely neutral in color reproduction, thereby providing complete balanced color uniformity for truly natural vibrant color.

The Highest Gain Weaved Screen (1.16 Gain)

The CineWeave™ HD is currently the highest gain weaved audio transparent projection screen surface on the market. The gain of the SmX CineWeave™ HD gives your projected image a back lit look. 

That is, the projected image will not look as if it is just being projected on a screen material such as that of other weaved screens with a negative gain. Other matte white woven audio transparent screens on the market have negative gains as low as -.83

Increased Contrast

Another special feature of the White CineWeave™ HD projection screen material is its ability to increase the contrast of your projected image. A Grey projection screen is usually necessary to increase contrast, but a Grey screen sacrifices gain (brightness). 
 
The White CineWeave™ HD weave was formulated to increase contrast by using the voids throughout the acoustically transparent screen. These voids in the CineWeave™ HD produce just enough black without sacrificing gain or resolution. You cannot achieve increased contrast such as this from a solid white projection screen; the increase of contrast is just one of the features that makes the CineWeave™ HD special.

Increased Sharpness

The SmX CineWeave™ HD helps increase the sharpness of your

projected image. This works especially well for projectors with a softer projected image such as D-ILA, LCOS and CRT technology. The perceived sharpness of the SmX CineWeave™ HD even makes HD projected images look more defined with DLP and LCD technology.

It has been said that the CineWeave™ HD provides a sharper picture than some solid screens currently on the market today.

Just to give you an idea, a micro-perforated screen had the world's smallest perforated hole in a movie screen. So how does the SmX CineWeave™ HD perforation size compare to that of a perforated or micro-perforated screen?Actual size side-by-side comparisons are shown below:

No noticeable perferations with SmX

Perforations in a micro-perf screen is about .02" ; this is extremely small but still noticeable by many people viewing from standard seating distances. The perforation in the SmX CineWeave™ HD is about 3.5 times smaller than a Microperf. In fact, for every 65 holes on a Microperf projection screen, the SMX has 182 perforations/sound holes
