Screen Material Installation

back side of the screen material should be placed upwards.
Note: The back side of the material has the velcro borders all around the edges.
2. Carefully and gently place the assembled frame on top the screen material as shown below. Make sure to not
allow the angle edge of the frame to come in direct contact with the screen material to avoid puncturing it.
3. After all of the corners of the frame have been properly aligned, snap the material on the frame in the following
order A→B→C→D (see instructions below for details).
Four corners join correctly to form a perfect
rectangle. Use the included screwdriver (L)
to fasten the Mx15 screws (H) into each
corner by aligning the frame screw holes to

Notice to Installer:
These instructions only apply if you have the CineGrey 5D or PowerGain 3DALR material.
Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the Angular
Reflective ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen.
Projector Ceiling Installation: Make sure the
projector (light in) is angled (ϴ1) to reflect (ϴ2) at
the mirror-opposite angle (light out) to align with
the viewer’s eye level.
Projector Table Top: Make sure the projector
(light in) is angled (ϴ1) to reflect (ϴ2) at the
mirror-opposite angle (light out) to align with the
viewer’s eye level.
Images are not up to scale and are for illustrations purposes only.
Note: Improper installation will result in light loss and produce a dark image. This is due to the projector’s light
reflecting in the wrong direction.
Installation
Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole area of where the
screen is to be installed.
1. Drill a hole with the proper bit size according to the wood screws included.
2. Line up the wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a
Phillips screwdriver.
3. Position the frame screen onto the wall brackets (F) as shown in below.
4. The design of the wall brackets allows the frame to slide over them through its sides. This is an important
feature of the installation design as it allows your screen to be properly centered.
