Harkness Screens the world’s leading screen
technology company and thought-leaders in on-screen brightness is delighted to
confirm that Clarus XC technology will be the screen of choice for 2D and 3D
theatrical presentations during Cinemacon 2019, for the sixth successive year.
The
show’s auditorium in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace will feature an 18.2m x
7.85m (71’ x 30.25’) Clarus XC 170 screen used to
showcase both 2D and 3D content from major distributors.
Designed to work with all polarized 3D systems and
regarded as the screen of choice for polarized laser 3D presentation due to its
speckle reduction properties, Clarus XC screens create visibly superior deeper
3D content which draws in the audience creating a more captivating viewing
experience. A whiter look under
projection mean that colours look visibly richer and more accurate both in 2D
and 3D resulting in a more defined, sharper and crisper picture.
“We’re delighted to continue our long association
with Cinemacon providing our Clarus XC technology for the sixth consecutive
time to the Colosseum,” explains Richard Mitchell, VP Global Marketing &
Commercial Development at Harkness Screens.
Each year the Colosseum transforms into one of the best cinema auditoriums
in the world and we’re extremely honoured that our premium 3D/2D screen technology
continues to be recognised as the best in the industry for creating superior
movie-going experiences.”
At its
core, Clarus XC technology features 4th generation d-smooth coating technology which has specific properties more
commonly seen in white screens. This
technology enables Clarus XC screens to benefit from significantly wide viewing
angles, improved color and contrast and better light distribution compared to traditional
3D silver screens. The screen also features Harkness’ NanolastTM
coating technology which provides additional improvements in visual performance
as well as added durability and Harkness’ proprietary 4K Digital Perforation
Pattern designed to improve sound transmission in the
spoken range, reduce moiré effect often seen in 4K projection and increase
light reflectivity.
In addition to the showcase Clarus XC screen, Harkness will also provide
a number of Perlux HiWhite screens which will be on display in the Octavius
ballroom. Perlux HiWhite screens are regarded as the whitest gain screens
availble with ultra-wide viewing angles, superior uniformity, color and contrast
and all Perlux HiWhite screens are natively laser-ready.
Cinemacon 2019 attendees will be able to find out further information on
Harkness’ products by visiting the Harkness Screens booth #2203A (Augustus
Ballroom) during the show.
