retro-reflective Ceiling/Ambient Light Rejecting (CLR®/ALR) Projection screen
DarkStar® Max UST
EPV® Screens DarkStar® UST material is a retro-reflective Ceiling/Ambient Light Rejecting (CLR®/ALR) material that is specially made for UST (ultra-short throw) projectors. The material is now available in EPV’s reliable Power Max electric “roll-up” design. The screen is tab-tensioned to achieve the needed flatness to accommodate ultra-short throw projectors.
The DarkStar® UST comprises of a multi-layered design using angular serriform micro structures with diffusion stratum to create a bright, clear and artifact-free image. Its characteristics divert projected light from UST projectors into the viewer’s line of sight while the glare of other off-axis light sources is filtered out. An additional black substratum allows the material to enhance color contrast while producing deeper black levels. The DarkStar® Max UST includes IR and RF remote controls, a detachable wall box controller, and wired and wireless 12-volt trigger capability.

Material Tip
Proper Projector Placement for DarkStar® UST
The DarkStar® USTis exclusively for table-mounted ultra-short throw projectors as illustrated in example 1 below. Overhead placement or a standard projector will make the image very dark, on account of the screen’s absorbent layer deflecting light that is not aligned with its reflective angle.
