Harkness Screens announced the launch out of its Digital Screen
Selector. Intended as an aid to theatre operators seeking to
maximize their investment in digital cinema, the Digital Screen
Selector can help to reduce operating costs for 2D and optimize
light levels for both 2D and 3D.
The Digital Screen Selector is available through the recently
re-launched Harkness website (www.harkness-screens.com).
It has a user-friendly interface with no software download required
and uses industry-accepted standards and vendor data to compare
different operating scenarios. The Selector is intended to be a
guide for theatre operators when consulting with projector, lamp
and 3D technology providers.
Andrew Robinson, managing director of Harkness Screens, explains,
“By answering a few quick questions about the screen size and
equipment being used in a particular theatre, the Selector suggests
Harkness screen options to optimize performance and cost.”
Harkness reports that its Perlux® gain screens reduce
digital-cinema projector brightness requirements significantly
relative to matt white screens, enabling the use of smaller lamps
that are cheaper, last longer and consume less power, roughly
halving operating costs.
