● Home Theater - new 3D screen material from Stewart
In late 2010 Stewart
Filmscreen introduced a new screen material called 5D. The material is
designed to work beautifully with passive 3D systems and at the same
time it will work well with 2D. In comparison to regular Silver 3D,
it has a gain of about 2.0, about 32 degrees half gain, about 125
open close ratio with minimum mottle and solarization. So now, if you wish, you can have a single screen that will work
with both formats.
Alternatively,
there is the Stewart Daily Dual where two separate screens optimized for
each of the two formats —
3D and 2D —
reside on the same frame and the 2D screen retracts when 3D is being
projected. This is, of course, a more costly solution, but it would
be suitable for higher end installations where no-compromise
performance is expected.
Keep in mind
that active 3D systems would not require this type of screen, nor
would a passive system that uses Infitec filtering.
