Severtson Screens Announces Enhanced Cinema Screen Coating; Introduced at ExpoCine 2018

The SēVision 3D GX-WA coating offers increased uniformity & brightness typically seen more often on 2D white screens, decreases hotspotting, while also offering an increased viewing angle over standard silver screens

Mesa, Ariz., Aug. 14, 2018 – Severtson Screens (www.severtsonscreens.com), a global leader in innovative and quality projection screens for the cinema, commercial, pro AV, and home theater markets, is proud to announce the enhanced SēVision 3D GX-WA projection screen coating.

Now available, Severtson will debut the SēVision 3D GX-WA during ExpoCine 2018, held in São Paulo, Brazil from Oct. 2-5 at the Convention Center Frei Caneca, booth #s 44 & 45 alongside Bardan Cinema, Philips, Klipsch, and DepthQ.

“Our enhanced SēVision 3D GX-WA projection screen coating is a brilliant example of Severtson Screens’ continued quest for quality, improvement, and innovation,” explained Toby Severtson, president and CEO of Severtson Corp. “The SēVision 3D GX-WA coating provides the benefits of the standard SēVision 3D GX coating, but offers increased uniformity and brightness typically seen more often on 2D white screens. It is also engineered specifically to increase the viewing angle over standard silver screens while also reducing hotspotting.”

Specifications of the enhanced SēVision 3D GX-WA include:

• Surface: smooth PVC with a high gain optical coating for perfect texture and gain uniformity
• Gain: 1.4 – 3.0 on axis +/- 0.2
• Signal to noise ratio: 100 – 200+:1
• Available perforations: standard, micro, digital, non-perf
• Materials: panel width 62-inches; thickness 12mm
• Edges: 6-inch standard grommet spacing (optional 9in., 4.5in, 3in. spacing)
• Webbing: 2.5-inch standard
• Packaging: rolled (tube only, tray & tube, full crate); folded (crate)

“Like all Severtson projection materials, SēVision 3D GX-WA offers the unique benefit of also being foldable, without any damage to the projection surface,” added Dan Maxwell, Severtson Corp. V.P. & Chief Operating Officer. “This allows it to be transported in a smaller crate and at a fraction of the cost, as well as to locations around the world where shipping was previously far more difficult and expensive.”
