The award-winning Supernova optical screen is ideal for brightly lit rooms – meaning that for the first time ever, you don’t have to dim the lights when using a front projection solution. With up to 10 times higher contrast and 2 times brighter images than standard front screens, Supernova Screens provide superior image quality, even in broad daylight. So now you can maintain eye contact with your audience during your presentation. Read their facial expressions. Clarify a point by drawing on a whiteboard. Hold up a product sample for everyone to see. Make sure viewers stay alert, and involved.

Supernova Screens are ideal anywhere that requires a superior front presentation solution. The series is made up of three overall types of optical screens, with new models constantly in development. Available in a wide variety of finishes, formats and sizes, it’s easy to find a screen that fits both your technical needs and installation environment. Supernova is compatible with all standard projectors and is easy to install and maintain.

A bright projector isn’t enough

Contrast is crucial to the perfect image – especially when using single lens projectors, which often are very bright but have relatively poor black levels. Even a bright projector cannot significantly improve image contrast in a bright room, however. Only a screen designed to complement the projection environment can do that.

Conventional front screens operate with contrast ratios in the range of 2-3:1 at 500 lux ambient light and are traditionally associated with dark rooms, curtains and window blinds. They reflect ambient light as much as the projector’s light, creating poor contrast levels. These low contrast ratios often cause eyestrain – and make it hard for the audience to concentrate.
 

Supernova breaks the contrast barrier

Empirical studies show that in order for a viewer to be able to see detailed information in a clear way, the minimum acceptable contrast in the image should be 15:1. Good contrast begins at 20:1 in image contrast ratio.   Supernova is the world’s first projection screen to break the 15:1 contrast barrier. With contrast levels exceeding 20:1 on some Supernova Screens and with a peak gain of up to 2, Supernova delivers more vivid colours and more detailed images than standard screens. Which keeps your audience captivated.

Supernova Screens feature an active high-contrast filter that allows the projected image to be reflected while effectively absorbing incident light from other angles. This unique technology means the screen is virtually unaffected by diffused ambient light and is ideal for bright environments.
