Ultimate Screens intros motorised masking 4K acoustically transparent screen range

UK-based Ultimate Screens has introduced a range of 4K-ready, acoustically transparent screens with motorised masking and thin bezel options. Supporting 16:9 and 2.35:1 formats, the option joins Ultimate’s Original Fixed Screens line. Distribution is via Karma-AV.

Ultra-quiet motors with soft start/stop operation and simple installer adjustments obey IR, RS232, contact closure or 12V trigger control to position ultra-black, anti-shadow image borders horizontally or vertically, reconciling 16:9 and 2.35:1 image and screen ratios when the two are mixed. Vertical side masking is also available for a range of screen sizes, in 10cm increments from 2.4m to 6.1m screen widths; horizontal (top and bottom) masking for 2.4 and 2.8m screen widths.

Two further additions to the Ultimate Screen range are the Slim and Edge models, offering bezel widths of 38mm and an ultra-thin 2mm. Both Slim and Edge screens are available in screen sizes from 2.0m to 6.1m widths in 10cm increments.

The supplier says the models are easy to install, thanks to a magnetic bezel and front fabric mounting system, which transfers screen assembly from the floor to the wall. 

Integrators assemble the frame, then hang on the wall using the mount brackets; insert the black fabric backing into the screen frame’s fabric retaining channel using the supplied fabric tool; add the 4K Acoustically Transparent screen fabric into the fabric retaining track, and then finally add the front velvet screen borders

Ultimate screens is also introducing Ultimate Track, a specialist fabric walling track. Ultimate Track uses metric sizing with an 18mm leg height, which allows the use of standard 18mm MDF or plywood to create support structures for sockets, speakers, lights or acoustic panels beneath the stretched fabric.

Retail pricing for the Ultimate Screens Ultimate Mask range is £3,000 per metre plus £1,000, while the Slim and Edge screens are £850 and £700 per metre respectively.
