SIM2 who normally only sell high end projectors today announced that it will be the exclusive distributor of SmX projection screens for the UK and Europe.
This takes effect from 1st May 2008.
SIM2 will be responsible for the company’s Pro-Mask, Pro-Curv, Pro-Line and Pro-Curv Mask projection screen product ranges.
So that speakers can be placed behind the screen SmX have completed extensive research into acoustically-transparent screen materials. They have developed Cineweave HD, a unique solution for this specialist application. This exclusive patent-pending material addresses the shortcomings of both perforated and woven screen materials, narrow viewing angle, loss of screen gain and non-linear audio response. This is the reason why SmX screens are used by top post-production facilities in Hollywood and home cinema enthusiasts alike.
SmX has also developed the first screen masking system to offer up to six aspect ratio settings, and a fixed-curve screen system for Cinemascope-style 2:35.1 screen installations. Both features are available on the Pro-Mask and Pro-Mask Curve ranges and they also feature genuine black-velvet trimming!
