Elite Osprey Tension Dual Mode Projector Screen Preview

[admin]

For those who didn't get to CEDIA, you missed seeing Elite Screens new Award Winning Anamorphic projection screen. The Osprey runs two separate motorized projection screens, a native 2.35:1 (Cinemascope) and a 16:9 (HDTV) in tandem with lens memory to accommodate the variable modes of an anamorphic projector. The screens are spaced at a 12mm interval to minimize any perceivable depth of focus distortion. In addition to this, the Osprey is pre-set to maintain a centered image aligned with the projector's lens memory.

Looked at their site for more information on this line. Seems like a nice alternative to having two screens (which I am contemplating). No information regarding pricing and availability yet.

I was a little surprised they do not have a trigger (5-12v) input to activate either of the screens or the selection of one or the other. Just done via IR? Oh well it would have seemed they could have done that rather inexpensively. That will be a consideration.
