Three Steps In Selecting The Right Screen Material
Although the thought of choosing the right front projection fabric may seem intimidating, it's actually a straightforward process. Da-Lite makes it easy with its unique matrix approach used in this manual. Please keep in mind that it may be preferable to use rear projection technology depending on your application.
There are three basic steps in selecting the right screen fabric:
| |
One, understand the Presentation Media Application that you plan to address. Simply read the first section titled "Typical Presentation Media Applications for Front Projection Screens". Determine which application scenario best describes your situation. Then, analyze the problems and situations identified for your application that must be considered in selecting a screen fabric that meets your special requirements. |
| |
Two, complete the selection criteria checklist based on the specifics of your application, projection method, lighting conditions, room setting, audience seating, etc. In all, there are seven important criteria to be addressed. |

Three, with the completed checklist in hand, answer the questions in Da-Lite's exclusive decision matrix for the projection method involved. This will lead you to a specific or alternative screen fabric that, based on your application and situation, will provide the best results. That's all there is to it. Again, if in doubt, feel free to contact Da-Lite directly. Our experienced Sales Partners are trained to help guide you through the process. |
Take a projector, put a screen in front of it, turn down the lights and you have a presentation. If only it was that simple. Unfortunately, there are many other considerations, both physical and environmental that affect the quality and viewabilty of a presentation. We call these Presentation Media applications.
Today's typical Presentation Media applications fall into the following four distinct categories - Each with its own unique requirements and problems. The optimum viewing solution demands the projection surface fully address these requirements and problems.
If your particular application is not described here exactly, consider the relevancy of problems and special situations identified in other applications as a guide to using the selection crtieria list. Choose the application that best describes your situation.
After you have selected the screen fabric, you'll need to choose a screen product by considering the required physical characteristics of the screen such as size, operation (i.e. fixed frame, manual roll-up or electric roll-up), and mounting (i.e. ceiling mounted, wall mounted or floor mounted). Da-Lite offers the largest selection of screen models in the world. Consult any authorized Da-Lite dealer for additional information or contact us directly for the name of the dealer nearest you.
