Severtson
Screens (

, a global leader in innovative and quality
projection screens for the cinema, commercial, pro AV, and home theater
markets, has announced that new digi-perf options are now available for its folded
SēVision 3D GX line of cinema projection screens. The line will be featured during
Expocine 2017, held in São Paulo, Brazil from Sept. 27-29 at the Convention Center Frei Caneca, booth #s 48 & 49 alongside Bardan Cinema,
Philips,
Klipsch, and DepthQ.
“Our new folded shipping method now makes international
distribution of our industry-acclaimed SēVision 3D GX highly affordable,
reducing international shipping costs by up to 70 percent,” explained Toby
Severtson, president and CEO of Severtson Corp. “Besides standard perforated
and microperf white and sliver screens, we now also offer the digi-perf option
to the folded SēVision 3D GX line of cinema projection screens for
international shipment.”
According to
Severtson, digi-perf offers multiple benefits versus standard perforation
screens. “It is the answer for current ultra high-performance cinema screens,
depending on one’s specific needs, and are the perfect solutions for 4k, 8k,
12k and even higher projection resolutions as these technologies becomes
available in the future,” he said. “And now, Severtson’s new digi-perf screens,
like our microperf, are also engineered for the optimum audio and visual
experience available in the marketplace today.”
Digi-perf
screens utilize 7.5 percent open space, are available with all coating and
gains, are foldable as with all Severtson cinema screens (excluding electric
screens), and it reduces moire over traditional standard perf screens.
Severtson Screens has been shipping folded screens both
domestically and internationally to very pleased customers who, up until
recently, could not afford them because of the enormous international shipping
fees. Additionally, now there is a solution for complex installations where a
long tube housing the cinema screen is impractical or not feasible to transport
through the building.
“Our folded screen technology has proven again and again
to drastically reduce international shipping costs and makes these screens
available to every customer worldwide,” Severtson continued. “And to top that
off, our new cinema screen price estimator enables our dealers with even
quicker cinema screen price quotes and delivery estimates of both our folded
and non-folded options.”
The new cinema screen price estimator is now live and
available for Severtson’s dealer base via its website as well as a mobile app
for Apple iOS and Android Smartphones.
Once the dealer is registered with an account and granted access at
www.severtsonscreens.com/register, the tool provides product and
packaging price estimates for Severtson cinema screens as soon as a dealer
inputs the necessary required information, such as screen dimensions, coating,
material, and desired packaging. The packaging portion of the price estimate is
then calculated based on the selected product’s weight and container
dimensions, which the tool also provides. For each estimate requested, dealers
will receive an automated email and PDF file detailing the screen price and
packaging estimate. Prices are only estimates and do not include shipping
charges or any other potential international fees.
Shipping costs associated with such large packages as
these were out-of-reach for so many customers up until recently. Now, Severtson
Screens’ SēVision 3D GX screens can be folded and packed into a much smaller
crate without any loss in structural integrity or performance abilities.
“Severtson’s new folded screen process not only reduces international shipping
fees, the smaller packaging simplifies delivery to theaters and is more
convenient for installers as
folded
screens are much easier to get into buildings and uncrate than standard
long-tube roll packaging…especially when a theater is in a unique structure,
such as a high-rise or multi-story theater complex,” added Maxwell.
The new folded line of SēVision 3D GX and Ultra Wide
cinema screens are now available for delivery to international destinations,
having numerous advantages, including:
● available in standard or micro
perforation (white and silver)
● coated surface that is harder to bruise
and scuff
● small micron flake coating produces a
sharper image, eliminating graininess in bright scenes
●
viewing angles range from 30 to 40 degree
half-gain depending on the specific screen gain requested
● water-based coating promotes longevity
by maintaining optical properties over time, eliminating flaking and cracking
of the screen surface
● perfect for large cinema applications (movie
houses, museums, universities, etc.)
