Cinescreen® Optical Tints - Tint influences image contrast and color value.
Factors which influence the selection of the proper optical tint are:
- Type of projection equipment
- Contrast and legibility
- Ambient light level in the audience area
- Aesthetic considerations
- Laser pointers
All six Draper optical coatings are available in three optical tints:
HC—Dark grey tint
Exceptional contrast and color rendition. Excellent light dispersion properties. The most popular choice for multiscreen VideoWall applications. Enhances legibility of computer generated data displays with light or bright text against a dark background: dark colors and black are reproduced with remarkable accuracy. HC tint performs equally well with static and moving displays. Not recommended when using a projector having a lens with a throw distance of 1:1 or shorter.
NG—Neutral Grey
Standard formulation. Medium grey tint. Normal contrast levels and good color reproduction. brightness levels are uniform throughout entire viewing cone. Multipurpose coating suitable for all projection formats and images.
W—White
Neutral white tint. Low contrast levels with some loss in color reproduction. Perfect for video and video conferencing. Requires lower light level in audience area. Not recommended for computer graphic/data displays when ambient light is present. Recommended for viewing 3-d applications. Reflects a laser pointer beam. White is the best tint to reproduce white backgrounds, so it’s best for viewing spreadsheets.
Quality Unsurpassed! No one else manually inspects each screen for quality and accuracy before it leaves the factory.
