Trac Associates Projection Screen News

TRaC Associates recently brought to market a new 2-Way Projection screen material, designed to provide a projected image on both the front and the back of the screen surface in almost equal brightnesses.  This new addition to the projection screen offerings from TRaC Associates opens new opportunities for getting “two images for the price of one” with only one projector. Restaurants, Sports Bars, Night Clubs and other entertainment centers could all use a multi-purpose projection system for the enjoyment of their viewing patrons.

This new 2-Way, double sided screen has recently been installed in a Sports Bar / Restaurant in California.  The facility utilized a glass partition to separate the sports bar section with the live sports games from the quieter restaurant seating area.

The glass partition consisted of four vertical panels of glass, approximately 4′ W x 8′ H from the ceiling down to within four feet from the floor.  The design criteria designated a projected image over the entire glass area with one projector, but to have the image viewable from both sides of the glass partition.

The 2-Way projection material worked beautifully.  The screen material of the 2-Way was scientifically designed to provide a even balance in achieving good, viewable images on both sides of the projection screen material on any clear acrylic or glass partition.

The 2-Way screen material was easily trimmed on site to custom fit the glass sizes.  It was invisibly mounted to the glass with an optically clear commercial grade 3M thin (~1.8” breath) line of tape right along the edges of the film at the window mullions.

The smooth, durable screen material also met the normal cleaning requirements for any glass surface within the dining and entertainment environments.

Projection Window films have established themselves as a prominent means of conveying information to prospective clients and visitors to your facility.  TRaC Associates offers a variety of window films and foils to reach out to the public with your salient messages and visual images.  We now can offer window screen materials in the transparent and high contrast versions without seams up to ~60” in breadth, allowing seamless projection films for ~100” diagonals, 4×3 or 120” 16 x 9.  A translucent white version is also available.

These films can be permanently mounted with an integrated adhesive to a clear substrate. Or as an inexpensive temporary alternative, held against a window with banner clip strips or low tack adhesive tapes.  Controlled lighting recommended.

We also have newly developed 2-Way film that equalizes the balance between front and rear images with one projected image.

TRaC is pleased to announce a dramatically improved two way viewing screen that provides an equitable balance between the front and rear viewing of the screen with just one projected image.  Perfect for Night Clubs, Restaurants, Entertainment Centers, Sports Bars or venues where the objective is to have the image seen from almost 360 degrees.

For the first time, this new screen has characteristics that provide a harmonization between the viewed projected light from the front to the back.  The image brightness is almost equally balanced between the front and rear sides of the projection screen.  Image brightness is approximately 53% to the rear (projector side) and 47% to the front.  This was an intended designed criteria.  Not an afterthought.  Viewing angle on both sides is excellent.

There are many rear projection films that promote or claim “2 sided” viewing with one projected image.  Most of these screens were designed to be rear projection screens that inadvertently, bounced back some of the light in the direction of the projector.  They weren’t designed for this characteristic.  It was a natural result of projecting on a rear projection screen that resulted in bounce back light.  This characteristic was then taken to the market.  Hence, by default, a new “2-Way” projected image category.  Often, the image brightness was split approximately 80%/20% or 70%/30% between one side and the other. They may get initial attention, but didn’t hold much functionality.  They were not a market researched designed product, but merely marketed and promoted as a new feature.

This new screen from TRaC Associates opens new and viable avenues to show a projected image to customers wherever they are in viewing area. Whether in trade shows or entertainment centers, these screens provide a dual purpose.

Available as window mountable foil or framed.
