Now Shipping, the Made in the USA Enhanced SAT-4K Offers a Finer Weave and Brighter White Material for Increased Visual Performance While Not Impairing the SAT-4K’s Original Acclaimed Acoustic Abilities
Severtson Screens (www.severtsonscreens.com), a global leader in innovative and
quality projection screens for the cinema, commercial, pro AV, and home theater
markets, is pleased to announce it will feature its
next generation SAT-4K Acoustically-Transparent cinema projection screen line during CinemaCon 2018, held in Las
Vegas, Nev. from April 24-26 at Caesars Palace, booth #2516A. The next generation SAT-4K will also be on display in the
Power Technology suite during CinemaCon 2018.
“Our SAT-4K
has received tremendous accolades since its launch, and we are proud to build
upon its success with the next generation which features an even finer weave
and whiter material that makes the viewing image even better than before,”
explained Toby Severtson, president and CEO of Severtson Corp. “Made in the
USA, the SAT-4K’s acoustic abilities are not
hampered by the finer weave, and we can now also seam SAT-4K for larger
cinema screens to virtually limitless sizes.”
Said Ricardo LaPorta,
South America Territory Sales Manager for Christie Digital Systems, “When we
first saw a demonstration of Severtson’s SAT-4K material, we did not have any sound quality loss with high pitch
frequency audio, as such loss is apparent in vinyl screens. The SAT-4K has tremendous sound transfer
capabilities, along with remarkable visual clarity. To say we are impressed is
an understatement.”
LaPorta added that due to the SAT-4K’s performance, they are now using the SAT-4K screen in
Christie’s Sao Paolo, Brazil training facility.
“The collaboration of Severtson to the Christie/Dolby booth during
Expocine 2015 was key,” said Carlos Watanabe, Regional Director, Latin America at Dolby Laboratories. “They contributed to the guarantee that the
public had the best image in partnership with the best cinema sound - Dolby
Atmos® - which was clearly demonstrated during the event.” As a result,
Severtson once again demonstrated SAT with Christie and Dolby at
ExpoCine 2016.
“Made in the USA, the foldable SAT-4K is the
ideal projection screen for virtually all cinema requirements,” Severtson continued. “Like perforated screens, the sound stage can be placed
directly behind the screen at the same horizontal axis, allowing the vocals and
the special effects to be completely in sync with the brilliant images on
display. Due to almost no audio frequency loss, the SAT-4K screen allows for a
completely immersive cinema experience.”
Severtson Corp.
V.P. & Chief Operating Officer Dan Maxwell added, “Our folded shipping
method allows for no loss in the screen’s structural nor visible integrity, and
now makes international distribution of the SAT-4K
cinema screen line highly
affordable, reducing international shipping costs by up to 70 percent.”
Currently available to nearly
limitless sizes in both height and length, the SAT-4K cinema screen meets or exceeds all industry standards for optimum
video and acoustic performance, with reference quality reproduction of the
digital image combined with true fidelity of the original soundtrack.
