Harkness Screens, the world’s leading manufacturer of projection
screens for cinemas, has sold its 1,000th unit of the Digital
Screen Checker, the new version of its previous luminance
meter.
“The groundswell of interest behind the product has been
phenomenal,” says Richard Mitchell, worldwide marketing manager at
Harkness. “There’s been a real buzz about it which appears to be
continuing as the industry gets more switched on to issues
surrounding screen brightness levels… We genuinely believe that the
Digital Screen Checker is well on the way to becoming the tool of
choice for use when checking screen brightness in auditoria and a
low-cost, zero-compromise solution where the more expensive meters
are unaffordable.”
The Digital Screen Checker is a handheld digital-cinema device to
measure screen brightness, expressing readings in foot-lamberts. It
provides instant readings for both 2D and 3D screens and is
calibrated to be accurate even in the lower ranges used in 3D
projection. The foot-lambert reading is shown on an LED digital
display and is expressed to at least one decimal place.
