SmX CineWeave HD™ Acoustically Transparent  Screens 

For the serious audiophile home theater enthusiast, placement of speakers behind the screen reproduces the closest design aspect of the cinema experience, accurate projection of sound.  SmX CineWeave HD™ screens offer the ultimate in acoustic property screen, a 1.16 gain weave with 160° viewing angle, sound and vision are aligned and delivered as intended.  SmX offers screen size options up to 220" wide geared for any type of room or venue.  

SmX Cinema Solutions screens come in standard fixed, curved, or masking models to meet any design requirement.  Whether flat or curved, SmX Pro Series screens are available in white or gray CineWeave HD™ material boasting perfect uniformity and consistently vibrant image from edge to edge.  The sturdy screen material is strongest in its class and has no tendency for hot spotting.

SmX CineWeave™ HD
Let's start with the key ingredient of the Pro-Line series, the projector screen material. The SmX CineWeave™ HD is an audio transparent projection screen material that will not only give you one the most incredible projected images you'll ever see, but will also allow audio to pass through the projector screen material without distortion.

Pure Color Accuracy
The CineWeave projection screen material starts with pure color accuracy. The specially formulated white color of the CineWeave achieves the most accurate color reproduction and gain from your projector.

Other projector screens can color shift, making projected images appear to push blue or red. This push of colors creates an un-natural color balance to your projected image. The SmX is completely neutral in color reproduction, thereby providing complete balanced color uniformity for true natural vibrant color.

Color measuring: x = +/-.002, y = +/-.003, measured with a Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter using a NIST-traceable white reference target. Color consistency is constantly monitored to assure ISO 9000 standards. See the hard numbers on the color and see comparisons...

Guaranteed Moiré Free With All Digital and CRT Projectors
A huge problem with today's high resolution digital projectors and audio transparent movie screens is moiré. Moiré is caused when the projectior screens perforation pattern aligns with the digital projectors pixel pattern or screen door. Every projector, attachable lens, screen size, offset and throw distance differs from person to person.

The only guaranty to eliminate moiré is to be able to adjust for it on site. The SmX Pro-Line frame eliminates moiré possibilities by allowing you to adjust the CineWeave™ HD projector screen material on the fly.

Increased Contrast
Another special feature of the White CineWeave™ HD projection screen material is its ability to increase the contrast of your projected image. It usually takes a Grey projection screen to increase contrast and using a Grey screen means having to sacrifice gain (brightness). 

The White CineWeave™ HD weave was formulated to increase contrast by using the voids throughout the acoustically transparent screen. These voids produces just enough black without sacrificing gain or resolution like a Grey solid screen or White perforated screen. 

You can not achieve increased contrast like this from a solid white projection screen, this is what makes the CineWeave™ HD special.

Increased Sharpness
The SmX CineWeave™ HD helps increase the sharpness of your projected image. This comes in handy for projectors with a softer projected image such as D-ILA, LCOS and CRT technology. The perceived sharpness of the SmX CineWeave™ HD even makes HD projected images look cleaner with DLP and LCD technology. It has been said that the sharpness the CineWeave™ HD provides a sharper picture than some solid screens currently on the market today.

160 Degree Viewing Angle
Screens with a positive gain usually have narrow viewing cones. This means that the screen's brightest point is usually in the center when you are sitting in the center of the room. With other high gain screens, the gain drops as low as half at 40 degrees off the center, similar to an older technology rear projection TV.

The SmX CineWeave™ HD provides a full 160 degree viewing cone without any loss of gain. This means that the image will be consistently bright from edge to edge at all viewing angles.

Durability
The SmX is an extremely strong screen material that will withstand the test of time. It is impossible to tear by hand or by flying blunt objects. It also can be easily cleaned using a mild white ivory soap, water and soft brush.

10 Year Warranty
The SmX Pro-Line Frame is backed with a 10 year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Acoustically Transparent - Needs No EQ

Unlike perforated and micro-perforated screens, the SmX needs no EQ on the speakers behind it. The SmX weave is truly audio transparent and will not alter the sound of your speakers or comb filter audio like a perforated screen will. Read More...

The Highest Gain Weaved Screen (1.16 Gain)
SMX is currently the highest gain weaved audio transparent projector screen on the market. The gain of the SmX CineWeave™ HD gives your projected image a back lit look to it. This means that your projected image will not look as if it is just being projected on a screen material such as other weaved screens with a negative gain. Other current weaved AT screens on the market have negative gains as low as -.83


The comparison above was done side by side with two other leading matte white weaved screens using an IRE-100 projected image.

The Soundstage as Hollywood intended
Unlike a solid projection screen, the acoustically transparent SmX CineWeave™ HD allows you to place your speakers directly behind it. This is the same method Hollywood uses when they mix the dialogue/soundtrack for movies. This localizes audio to come out of the actors mouths as Hollywood intended it, not above or below the screen.

No Noticeable Perforation
How does the SmX CineWeave™ HD perforation size compare to the perforation of a perforatated or micro-perforated screen?
See actual size side by side comparisons below:

A perforation in a micro-perf screen is about .02" ; this is extremely small but still noticeable by many people viewing from a seating distance.

The perforation in the SmX CineWeave™ HD is about three and a half times smaller than a Microperf! In fact, for every 65 holes on a Microperf projection screen, the SMX has 182 perforations/sound holes.

Clear Consistent Bright Vibrant Image From Edge to Edge

Screens with a gain usually do not have a consistent image from edge to edge. This is due to hot spotting (see above) or brightness drop outside of narrow viewing cones. This inconsistency is caused from using a pearlescent coating to create a gain. SmX promises you a Clear, Consistent, Bright, Vibrant Image From Edge to Edge.

No Sparklies
Most screens with gain use pearlescance to create a positive gain; this is known to cause “sparklies” while viewing. The SmX does not use pearlescence to get its gain, so there will be no sparklies during viewing.

Black Backing is Not Needed for Most Situations
Other weaved audio transparent movie screens require a black backing in order to assure that light does not pass through the screen and reflect back something from behind the screen. SmX uses a opaque, thicker material to help avoid the necessity of a black backing.

If your situation does require a black backing, the SmX Pro-Line Frame is equipt with a second channel ready to accept a black backing.
