PROMASK
4-way Masking Acoustically Transparent Screen
The
PROMASK is the supreme sleek 4-way projection screen masking system by
SmX. The PROMASK starts as a native 16:9 (1.78:1) viewable projection
screen and allows you to mask your viewable screen down to every
possible aspect ratio without being confined to a projected constant
image height or constant image width
The
PROMASK uses silent technology techniques to make it the quietest,
rattle free masking system on the market.

Why
you need a masking system
Almost all HD projectors project a native 16:9 (1.78:1)
image. The idea screen to start with would be the same
aspect ratio as the projector which would be 16:9.
 So
lets say you have a 16:9 aspect ratio HD projector and a
16:9 aspect ratio projection screen. Most HDTV broadcasts
will fill your 16:9 screen so you will be fine if you are
only going to watch those few channels or few movies that
will fill your screen.
However,
if you plan on watching any major released movies they are
most likely going to be in a 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 aspect
ratio. This means the projected image is now wider than
your conventional 16:9 projection screen. You are now
going to have black or dark grey projected bars above and
below your projected image due to sizing the 2.35:1 AR
projected image inside a 16:9 AR screen.
 Now
lets say you want to watch standard definition television
or DVD's that are in the 4:3 (1.33:1) aspect ratio. Now
your 4:3 projected image is not as wide as your
conventional 16:9 aspect ratio screen and you are now
going to have black or grey bars on the sides of your
projected Image.
The
PROMASK eliminates those annoying black and grey bars by
masking off those un-used areas. The PROMASK masking
panels are a true-black hole audio transparent velvet that
match the hand upholstered frame of the of the PROMASK.
The matching panels give every aspect ratio you project on
your screen a perfectly sized masked frame. |

Four
individually controlled Masks
Each masking panel in the PROMASK is independently
controlled. This allows the end user endless flexibility
in masking. With the PROMASK, you can mask for off
centered projected images (horizontally and vertically)
with simple ease. You can also independently drop the
bottom mask to view subtitles and menus while maintaining
the other masks in their position.
 Other
screen companies use a thin transparent lighter color
material for their acoustically transparent masks. The SmX
PROMASK masking panels come in a special formulated
acoustically transparent velvet that matches the frame of
the PROMASK. This match assures a seamless transition
between various aspect ratios and the native viewing of
your screen.
The
acoustical transparency of our masks perform just like
typical speaker grills meaning inaudible loss of
attenuation throughout the audio spectrum. |
Sleek
compact frame size
Other masking systems are huge and bulky robbing valuable
wall space from your theater and sometimes compromising
your viewable screen size due to wall space limitations.
The PROMASK masking system frame measures a sleek 4"
deep by 4" wide. This is almost the same width of
most standard fixed frame projection screens |
Integration
The PROMASK integrates into all automation systems with
I/O technology including Crestron, AMX, Lutron, etc. The
PROMASK can also be controlled via IR and RF remote
controls as well as IP, rs232, dry contact and wall
switches. You can also use your scaler to mask with the
PROMASK. Other integration options are also available,
please inquire if you have a specific request
5
Year Warranty
The SmX PROMASK masking system is backed with a 5 year
warranty against manufacturer defects.
