Now Including Microperf Options, the Industry-Acclaimed Severtson SēVision 3D GX and Ultra Wide 3D Screens Can Now be Shipped Folded in Smaller Packaging with No Loss in Structural Integrity or Performance Abilities; Int’l Shipping Costs Reduced by Up To 70 Percent
Severtson Screens,a global leader in innovative and quality
projection screens for the cinema, commercial, pro AV, and home theater
markets, has announced that it will feature its new folded SēVision 3D GX line
of cinema projection screens during ShowEast Expo 2015, held in Hollywood, Fla. from Oct. 12-15 at The
Diplomat Resort & Spa, booth # 423.
“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 white and
sliver screens, we now also offer the immensely popular microperf option to the
folded SēVision 3D GX line of cinema projection screens for international
shipment. Since its recent
launch, we’ve had to renovate our facility and upgrade our machinery to keep up
with worldwide demand.”
Severtson explained that they have been shipping these
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.
“The microperf
version is what has put the ‘folded’ line over the top as these screens are the
screen of choice for high-end, premier theatres,” added Dan Maxwell, Severtson
Corp. V.P. & Chief Operating Officer. “The Severtson microperf viewing
surface practically eliminates moiré which is often problematic of screens with
larger perforation, yet continues to provide a more realistic soundstage
allowing speakers to be placed directly behind the screen.”
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 all large cinema applications,
such as movie houses, museums, universities, etc.
