Da-Lite made a number of new product announcements of late, including new HDTV screen sizes, a fixed large venue screen up to 90 feet and a new AV cart.

The Professional Electrol and Senior Electrol are the screens that are now available in HDTV sizes. The Professional is now available in 159”, 188”, 216”, 243” and 271” diagonals. The Senior is now available in 188”, 216”, 243” and 271” diagonals. Both screens are designed for large venue applications and they can be customized upon request.

The Professional and Senior Electrol screens can be controlled with Da-Lite’s Video Projector Interface, Single Motor Low Voltage Controller or Da-Lite’s line of Integrated Screen Control products for control and networking. A three-position Decora style wall switch is included.

The new large venue fixed screen is the Series 300 Lace and Grommet Frame System. This is made of three-inch diameter aluminum tubing, and includes lacing cord and positioned “S” hooks for attaching a Da-Lite Lace and Grommet projection screen surface. The Series 300 Lace and Grommet Frame has a black powder coated finish, or may be specified with the optional seven inch wide Pro-Trim masking cover that conceals the screen binding and lacing cord.

The Series 300 is also available as a curved model with any degree of single axis curve. The Series 300 Lace and Grommet Frame is recommended for use with any of Da-Lite’s vinyl front projection surfaces in sizes up to ninety feet wide and rear projection surfaces up to forty feet wide.

Da-Lite also just introduced the Fast-Fold Masking Panels to their portable screen line. The new masking panels allow a native HDTV (16:9) aspect ratio Fast-Fold screen to be masked to NTSC Video (4:3), in effect doubling the functionality of the screen. Black drapery masking panels attach with Velcro to the top of the screen and snap in place to the black binding along the bottom of the screen. Blue and Pewter Grey masking panels are also available. Da-Lite also offers complete drapery presentation kits which include skirt, valance, wing drapes and wheeled poly case.The new cart is the Advance AT2C-42JFS, which handles televisions and monitors up to a 20” diagonal with a 18” x 24” top shelf and adjusts from 32” to 42” high. The cart features a slide out keyboard tray and two flip down shelves. The AT2C-42JFS has a locking storage cabinet with ventilation slots and a black powder coated finish and 4” casters. A six outlet surge protected electrical assembly is included.
