Da-Lite: Selecting The Right Screen
Da-Lite > Educational Materials > Selecting The Right Screen
Da-Lite offers a wide array of screens each with a choice of projection surfaces. Selecting the right combination to meet your needs is important for optimum results. The following pages offer guidelines for selecting a screen that suits your application. Although these recommendations will work in most situations, each must be looked at not as a strict rule, but rather as a guideline for determining your actual needs based on your own situation.
For additional help in selecting screens, contact Da-Lite for the free publications "Selecting Front Projection Screens for Today's Presentation Media Applications" or "Selecting Rear Projection Screens for Today's Presentation Applications". Of course, your Da-Lite Sales Partner is also happy to assist you.
Four Steps to the Right Screen
1. Pick the type screen that best suits your particular needs. For example, choose from front projection or rear projection screens in either portable, wall or ceiling mounted models in either manual or electric versions or rear projection. Generally, if your projection application is permanent, then wall and ceiling screens are your best choice. If, however, you find your needs require moving the screen to different locations, then a portable screen is a better alternative.
2. Determine the optimum screen size based on room dimensions, planned audience seating size and arrangement. The rule of thumb is to fit the screen to the audience - not to the projector. Da-Lite recommends the following formula for determining screen size:
Screen height should be approximately equal to 1/6 the distance from the screen
to the last row of seats, allowing text to be read and detail to be seen in the projected image.
The bottom of the screen should be a minimum of 4 feet above the audience floor,
allowing those seated toward the rear of the audience to see the screen. This may require additional screen "drop" for ceiling hung screens.
3. Select the appropriate format for your projection application. Common formats are as follows:
Common Applications
Aspect Ratio Width/Height
NTSC Video
1.33
PAL Video
1.33
HDTV Video
1.78
Letterbox Video
1.85
Cinemascope
2.35
35 MM Filmstrip
1.32
2x2 Standard 35MM Double-Frame Slides
1.50
4. Choose the screen surface that best suits your projection and viewing requirements. For your convenience, the front and rear projection pages provide descriptions and performance characteristics for each front and rear screen surface. If the screen will be used for multiple projection methods, choose the screen surface that meets the requirements of the lesser performing projection method. For example, if using a slide projector and a video projector, choose the screen surface for the video projector since its light output is generally less than a slide projector.

SILVER LENTICULAR PICTURE SURFACES
Silver Lenticular surfaces are sensitive to temperature changes which may temporarily cause slight unevenness after a screen has been rolled up for a
time. If uneven when first opened for use, put on normal tension with the tensioning device and allow it to stand at room temperature of 70 to 75 degrees for five or ten minutes. The surface will equalize itself and be normally flat for projection in a very short time.

SETTING UP YOUR SCREEN
1. Hold screen vertically with tripod just above floor. With toe, press straight down on toe release plate. Tripod legs will glide open.
2. Pull out Red Locking Knob at top of bottom tube.
3. Raise extension tube to first position, and then swing case to horizontal position.
4. Raise screen surface and pull bail over hanger. If Keystone Eliminator is to be used, (1) simply grasp the knurled tip which protrudes slightly above the hanger; (2) pull straight up; (3) then lay in a horizontal position over the hanger, and place the pull bail on it.
5. Release Red Locking Knob and fabric tension lock lever on handle.
6. Holding extension tube with one hand and releasing Red Locking Knob with other, raise extension tube to desired position.
7. The case position may be changed by pulling out the Red Locking Knob located on the handle.
8. For rectangular picture area on screens with square surfaces, move case to desired position and lock by pressing down on the fabric tension lock lever.
9. On models with Super Wonder-Lite surface, press down on handle until surface is taut. Lock by pressing down on fabric tension locking lever.
CLOSING THE SCREEN
1. Return screen case to original central position on center tube. On models with Super Wonder-Lite surface, first release fabric tension lock lever on handle.
2. Hold extension tube firmly. Pull out top Red Locking Knob and lower extension tube to bottom position.
3. Unhook screen pull bail and complete re­rolling fabric into case.
4. If Keystone Eliminator has been used, simply raise it to a perpendicular position and push it back into the extension tube.
5. Swing case to vertical position. Note that fabric locks in.
6. Set tab on hanger in opening of case end cap. As extension tube locks, the case also is locked.
7. Place tip of middle finger of right hand in depression beneath leg bracket. Lift leg bracket sharply, at the same time applying a slight lift to entire unit with left hand. Note that legs are closed and locked, hanger, and extension tube and case are locked and surface is locked to provide for safe and comfortable carrying and storing.
USING SCREEN IN LOWEST POSITION
Follow steps 1 through 3 above.
a. Raise locking lever on left side of handle.
b. Release red knob and lower case.
c. Holding bottom tube, raise extension tube
until it locks into desired position.
Before re-rolling surface into case, examine both front and back of surface to be sure they are free of foreign matter. A Da-Lite Screen case cover is a wise and economical investment.

FOLDING THE PICTURE SURFACE FOR PACKING
When folding the screen material for packing, observe the following precautions before proceeding:
1. The surface should not be allowed to contact painted, varnished or plastic finished objects for a prolonged period of time.
2. Make certain the picture surface is on a clean, flat surface.
Then proceed in the following manner: Place clean white tissue paper – with no printing – on top of the picture surface. If tissue is not available, a soft white cloth or something similar will serve the same purpose. Under no conditions should newspaper or anything similar be used since these may damage the screen material.
1. With the viewing side facing up, fold the fabric in half from top to bottom. Make certain when folding, the surface does not come in contact with either the black binding, grommets or snap buttons.
2. If the material on the first fold is more than 3 feet high, then fold once again, but always place clean tissue paper between the folds.
3. For large size screens, fold in half again if necessary. Make certain when folding, the surface does not come in contact with either the black binding, grommets or snap buttons.
4. After the top to bottom folding procedure is completed, then fold from left to right and continue folding until the fabric is of sufficient size to fit into the leatherette case.
NOTE: Keep the screen surface in the envelope provided when it is not in use. Failure to observe these normal precautions may cause discoloration of the material.
CLEANING
Da-Tex, Dual Vision, and Da-Mat surfaces can be cleaned as
follows: Using a white clean cloth (100% cotton preferred) that is dampened with clear water, gently wipe the area in one direction. Do not use a circular motion. Using a dry 100% cotton cloth, wipe dry after each cleaning session. To clean a stubborn stain or a sticky surface, use denatured alcohol (methanol or methyl alcohol) following the same procedure as for water. For extremely stubborn stains, use V M & P, Naphtha or Super Naphtha and follow the same procedure as for water.
Cinema Vision and Pearlescent surfaces are not cleanable.
NOTE: Fast-Fold screens are shipped with tissue paper
packed between the folds. This keeps the material from sticking to itself and makes it easier to unfold.
HANDSOME THEATRE-LIKE SET CREATED WITH FAST-FOLD® PRESENTATION DRAPERY ACCESSORIES
For a finished, professional appearance, Fast-Fold screens can be dramatically enhanced with the Drapery Presentation Accessory Kit. Handsome velour drapes in a choice of two eye-catching colors surround the screen on four sides, providing an attractive stage front to the audience.
The Presentation Drapery Accessory Kit serves a second function when used with a rear projection surface. It shields extraneous light from the projector as well as hiding projection and other equipment from the audience.
An optional Adjustable Skirt Bar provides a versatile method of changing the picture ratio.
The hardware in the kit is made of lightweight aluminum and, along with the folded velour drapes, is packed into a convenient easy to carry poly case. The entire kit can be set up in minutes. Case optional at additional cost.
Presentation Drapery Accessory Kit
Consists of a set of velour drapes in choice of Blue or Black, Valance, two Wings, Skirt, Valance Bar, and two Wing Bars.
• All bars attach to screen frame with slip on clamps. No tools needed.
• Valance Bar attaches to frame first. Wing Bars then attach to Valance Bar.
• Valance Bar extends 12" above frame. Wing Bars extend 32" on each side.
(ILLUSTRATED)
• Wing Bars attach to frame when ceiling height prevents use of Valance.
• 45" High Skirt snaps to bottom of screen or to optional Adjustable Skirt Bar.
