Unpacking
Each screen is carefully packaged in our factory to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition.
Each section is wrapped in protective packaging or in a PVC sleeve to ensure it is protected and stays
clean.
Do not unpack each piece from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. This
will ensure that you do not damage any of the velvet finished pieces accidentally during installation.
Note that the Dynamic 2s is designed to be assembled on the wall so that a clear floor area big
enough to build the screen is not required. However, it can also be built on the floor if preferred you
will just need to follow the same instructions but substitute the wall for the floor then lift and attach
the screen to the wall once built. DO NOT built the screen face down on the floor under any
circumstances as this will result damage to the screen and mechanism.
The screen is a 6-part frame. 2 end sections (containing the masking), 2 top sections and two bottom
sections. The bottom right section also houses the control box for the screen.

Installation
•Decide on the height you want the bottom of the visible projected image to be at on your
finished screen. Mark this height on the wall where you are installing the screen. Now add
28mm to this further up the wall. This will be the height at which the top of the back plate
on the bottom screen sections will sit.
•Now mark the central left to right point for the screen (normally the centre line of the
room.) This will be the centre of the Bottom screen sections.
•Take the bottom right section of the screen frame (the one with the control box in it). Line
this up so that the tip of the back plate is level with your pre marked height line on the wall
and the left end of it is lined up with the centre mark.
•Screw the frame section to the wall using the holes at the top of the back plate. Use a spirit
level to ensure that this section is level. This is very important as it will form the basis for
the rest of the screen to be built to.
•Prepare the bottom left section to be fitted. There are two joining sliders which join the
bottom sections together.
•Now lift the bottom left section and mate the joining slider into the respective profile until
the two ends of the profile meet fully. These can be secured in place using the grub screws
in the joining bars. Screw this section to the wall again using the holes in the top of the back
plate.
•Next take the left screen section and align the joining sliders into their retrospective
aluminium profile son the bottom left screen section. Slide these the left section in until the
ends of the aluminium profile meet. (You may also need to help guide the white mask slider
into the groove on the aluminium profile)
•Screw the left section to the wall again using the holes in the top of the back plate.
•Tighten the grub screws in the joining bars between the Left and the bottom left screen
sections.
•Using a spirit level check the Left screen section is vertical and adjust if nessasery.

•Next fir the Top Left section in exactly the same way again tightening the joining sliders and
using a spirit level to check the level.
•Take one of the stretcher bars and fit this between the top Left and bottom Left screen
profiles. Tighten the grub screws to open the jaws of the clamp on the end of the stretcher
profile to clamp onto the screen profile. These should be fitted approximately mid-way on
the top and bottom left profiles but can be moved to suite speaker positioning.
•Fitting the stretcher profile will allow you to confirm that the top left screen section is level
and to screw this to the wall.
•Repeat the installation process for the top Right screen section. Again, fitting a stretcher bar
between it and the bottom right screen section to endure it is all level.
•Take the Right screen section and slide this onto the top Right and Bottom right screen
sections, using the joining bars to locate into the aluminium profiles before tightening the
grub screws in them when the profiles fully meet.
•Screw the Right section to the wall.
•Mechanically you now have all the sections fitted to the wall.

Electrical Connections
•On the bottom section of the frame is the control box. At either end of this are the
connections to make to the mask motors and sensors. The mask motor connections are
simple push together connectors.
•The sensor connectors locate and then push onto the control box and then screw up to
make the connection and lock in place. Do this for both Mask sensors (one either end).
•Connect the IEC power cable to the mains supply.
•Connect the RS232 control cable onto the control port on the left end of the control box.
•Dress the cables along the bottom of the frame using the cable ties provided. It is important
to ensure that you do not have loops in the cable which could impede the running of the
masks.
Mask Connections
•The masks are tensioned by ‘Silent Tension System’ bands which run between each of the
masks.
•Take the first band pass it behind the gap behind the control box at the bottom of the
screen.
•Pull the Right end and hook it on the steel loop at the bottom of the right mask bar.
•Pull the left end of the band out towards the left mask and hook onto the steel loop at the
bottom of the left mask bar.
•Repeat the process to stretch the next band between the loops on the top of the left and
right mask bars.
Take care when pulling out the Silent Tension System bands. If you let go of them they will
spring back and could cause injury is allowed to do so under tension.

Fabric Installation
Your screen is delivered with two fabrics; the black backing fabric and the main screen surface. The
first one to be installed is the black backing fabric.
Care and time should be taken during handling and installation of the fabric. On larger screens
you will need 2 people to complete this task.
•Take the roll of backing fabric and the fabric installation tool. Start to unroll the fabric from
the roll by about 500mm. Holding the top corner of the fabric in one hand, line it up with the
top left hand corner of the screen so that the edges of the fabric are in line with the outer
edges of the screen frame.
•With the fabric tool push the tool onto the fabric and down into the grey plastic fabric
retaining track.
•
You may want to try pushing the fabric tool into the fabric retaining track without any fabric
first to get a feel for where it goes in and how much force is required.

Retaining track insertion point Fig. 8
•Now unwind enough fabric from the roll to take you to the middle of the screen. Again
ensuring that the top of the fabric is in line with the top of the screen push the fabric into
the fabric retaining track in the centre of the top rail of the screen.
•Now unroll the remainder of the black backing fabric and repeat the process of tucking the
fabric into the top right of the screen.
•You should now have the fabric hanging from the three tucked points on the top of the
screen.
•Now using one hand apply a little bit of tension to the fabric at the bottom in the middle and
then using the fabric installation tool tuck fabric into the centre bottom of the fabric
retaining track.
•Now repeat this process on in the centre of the left and then right sides. See Fig.9.
Fabric Tuck Order Fig. 9
•Now continue to tuck in the fabric along the length of the retaining track working out from
each central tuck. Only tuck max 300mm at a time in each direction and then go to the
opposing side and tuck the same amount. This will ensure an even stretch across all the
fabric.

Direction of fabric Tucking Fig.10
•Continue this process until you reach the corners of the screen. You may have to pull out the
original tucks in the top left and right corners and re-tuck them to ensure that you have no
wrinkles in the fabric.
•Ensure that you are happy that the fabric is flat and wrinkle free.
•Using sharp scissors cut the excess fabric off on the outside of the fabric retaining track
leaving a 15mm – 20mm excess.
•Work around the screen to push this excess down into the fabric retaining track. It is best to
do this in the same manner as the original tucks working out from the centres until all the
excess is tucked in.
•Now repeat the exact same process you have just done for the black backing to install the
white projection fabric. Ensure that you have the ‘FACE SIDE’ label of the fabric facing out in
the room as this will be the side the projector will project onto.
Ensure that you use the white cotton gloves to handle the white projection fabric at all times
and keep it away from dust or dirt as it can easily be marked.

Inner Screen Cover Installation
•Install the bottom covers first. The covers are magnetic and simply align and clip into place
allowing the magnets to ‘grab’. The barb on the back of them will slot into the groove on
the aluminium profile just below the grey plastic fabric retaining track. There are two
sections for the top and two for the bottom with a central join. You will need to slide the
outer end in behind the bask bar and you will be able to feel when the magnet has made
contact with the steel plate on the cover
•Next install the top sections.
If you need to remove the covers at any point, lift up the cover from the edge nearest the
screen fabric and rock up and lift away from the magnets.
Electrical Operation
•Power on the electrical control panel
•The main control screen will be visible on the touch screen once it has booted up.
•To start operation press ‘Home’ this will set the masks to their home position (just covering
the edge of the screen surface but showing the full width aspect of the screen).
•Now press 1.78 this will move the masks to a 16/9 image size.
•Cycle between Home and 1.78 2-3 times just to initialise the masks and ensure that
everything centralises in the mask runners following transit.
If at any time a mask sticks during this initialisation procedure and becomes slack, hit stop
and then manually push the mask bar towards the middle of the screen slightly. This will free it
and continue with the initialisation sequence.
•The screen is now ready for operation and external RS232 control of operation.

Fitting the Outer Covers
•Take the Right Cover (C-Section with the [DT] Logo badge in the bottom right. Line this
up onto the black steel plates on the right end of the screen. Allow the magnets to grab
into position.
•Next fit the bottom Right hand top Right covers in the same way again lining up the
magnets with the steel plates.
•Next fit the Top Left and the Bottom left covers.
•Finally fit the Left C-Section cover to complete.
