non-invasive motorized free-standing electric ALR/CLR projection screen
DarkStar® Max UST-FR

 |
The DarkStar® Max UST-FR Series is a non-invasive motorized free-standing electric projection screen that features a Ceiling/Ambient Light Rejecting (CLR®/ALR) Ultra-short throw Projection material. The design features motorized “scissor-backed” cross risers that raise and lower the material.
Matte white screen materials don’t work well with the lights on and that limits them to dark room presentations. The DarkStar® UST material mitigates the washout effects of ambient light while boosting color saturation, contrast and black/white dynamic range. To minimize the projection footprint, the material is specially formatted tab-tension reinforced to work specifically with UST (ultra-short throw) projectors.
“Elite helped pioneer rollable, lenticular materials for motorized UST screens, and the new DarkStar Max UST-FR is a potential game changer for the emerging laser TV projector category,” said Rob Sabin, ProjectorCentral editor-in-chief. “Integrators can place the screen housing directly on a low-boy credenza and, critically, also now have the option to drop it into cabinetry that can hide the screen, projector and even audio components completely out of sight until needed.”

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.
Example 1: Proper Projector Installation
Example 2: Improper Projector Installation
