Spectro Cinema standard and 3D projection screens for events, installation and home theatre now in Australia
Spectro screens have been around for several years and are installed in cinemas all over the world for the last 20+ years. So why is this important for you?
The projected media quality is influenced by three key factors. The projector imaging technology, the projector lens and the projection screen.
Much attention is given to projectors and their imaging technology, be it DLP, LCD, LCOS, etc.. To a lesser extend are the lenses considered, mainly, because they are either fixed in the projector or there are few options available.
The projection screen is seen more as a given, with the idea that a bed cloth could do the job as well, I am joking of course, but the quality of the projection material is given often much less consideration than it deserves.
In the cinema and multiplex environment are more stringent standards when it comes to projection surfaces to ensure that the latest Hollywood feature looks the same all over the world.
So, a manufacturer, who succeeds in this environment must have something special. Right?
So, who is Spectro?
Spectro is a South Korean based manufacturer, who specializes in the production of cinema standard 2D and 3D projection surfaces. The company is located on the outskirts of Seoul and has a highly dedicated team which knows how to deal with international demands.
In addition to the surface material, Spectro manufactures roll-down screen systems to large sizes and offers frame-based installation systems.
What does the product do?
Spectro surfaces are designed for optimal performance, both in perforated and non-perforated form. Different to other surface manufacturer Spectro offers three perforation standards: SP (Standard Perforation1.2mm), DP (Digital Perforation 0.8mm) and MP (Mini Perforation 0.6mm)
Surface materials include: White incl. Gray, Matt White and White 100 (2D only), Pearl (2D only), Silver (2D & 3D), Prima Silver (2D & 3D), Rear with gain factors between 0.9 and 3.0.
Where do we use Spectro surfaces?
Apart from the stated cinema application, Spectro surfaces are equally suited for large scale events to high standard home theatres. While 3D is currently not that much in demand, using the Prima Silver surface can make any screening future proof, since this material is ideally suited for both 2D and 3D with good gain factors for optimal illumination.
Spectro is also one of the very few manufacturer who manufacture 3D roll-down screens.
Spectro surfaces are welded prior to coating, allowing a seamless manufacture of large surface areas. Coated surfaces offer improved performance of 3D PVC materials
So what of this matters to you?
First, being a South Korean manufacturer, Spectro screens are covered by the FTA between Australia and South Korea and do not attract any duty, making the product less expensive.
Secondly, even larger screens only need short seafreight shipping times, allowing shorter ordering times.
Thirdly, the product is available in surface only, surface with eyelets, frame based, press-studs and roll-down, offering a high level of flexibility.
Fourth, the company has a proven track record and performs well in one of the most critical domestic market.
Fifth, the company manufactured in 2009 the world’s largest permanent 35mm Cinema 3D silver screen of 32x13m and recorded in the Guinness Book.
Sixth, production of Korea’s largest IMAX 3D screen in 2015. Screen size 25x18m.
Seventh, short production times of approx.. 7 days in average.
Eighth, Spectro has fireproof certificates from each country.
Ninth, Spectro surfaces can be used on existing screen frames. Though the required tensioning may only be achieved, using a eyelet-bungee loop attachments.
Tenth, Korean manufacturer have a high ethical standard and are leading in technologies around the world.
ITI-Image Group has been appointed agent for Australia, New Zealand, Oceania and for its existing Asian client base. In fact, we have imported last month a 5m roll-down 3D screen for an installation in Uluru. The screen was manufactured and dispatched on time, despite corona virus restrictions and received without problems by our client.
