Frame Assembly
1. Screw the extrusion bars on the support you choose.
The bars are delivered 1.15M (45”) long so you may
need to cut the bars so that you can adjust their
length to your screen length.
Make sure you position the ends of the bars as
shown on the picture for the fabric to be installed
easily.
2. IF YOUR SCREEN INCLUDES THE CLEARPIX2
OPTIONAL BLACK BACKING MATERIAL.
Fix a second row of extrusion bars parallel to the rst
one.
3. Unroll the projection screen fabric over the frame,
projection side down. The projection side is
indicated by a sticker in one corner of the fabric.
IF YOUR FRAME CAME WITH CLEARPIX1 FABRIC AND
BLACK BACKING, unroll the black backing now and
place it over the projection screen material.

Projection Screen Material Installation
4. Position the projection screen material using the
short (2” / 50mm) pieces of Pi-Grip. Place them in
the order shown. Tension the fabric only slightly at
this time.
IF YOUR FRAME CAME WITH CLEARPIX1 FABRIC AND
BLACK BACKING, clip both the projection screen
material and the Black Backing together.
5. Tension the fabric using the long pieces of Pi-Grip.
Remove the short piece of Pi Grip and insert the
long piece of Pi-Grip in its place. Begin at one end
of the Pi-Grip and work your way towards the other
end. You should be able to insert it by hand, but you
may use the included mallet if necessary. As you
insert the Pi-Grip, apply gentle tension on the fabric
along the axis of the Pi-Grip that you are inserting.
6. Once you have  nished clipping the fabric, verify
that the tension is even and suf cient. You may
want to lift the frame and inspect the front side. If
necessary, retension the fabric by removing and
reinserting the Pi-Grip.
Once you are satis ed with the tension, trim the
excess fabric with the fabric cutting tool. Leave
about 1.5” (40mm) of spare fabric outside of the
edge of the PI-Grip for future potential retensioning.
7. IF YOUR FRAME CAME WITH CLEARPIX2 OPTIONAL
BLACK BACKING, repeat the operations as explained
steps 3 to 6 but clipping your Black Backing in the
second groove.

Screen Care
Your cinema-quality viewing surface is delicate. Special attention to these instructions should be
followed when cleaning.
Cleaning your ClearPix Integrated Type J Fixed Frame Screen surface
NEVER attempt to use solvents, chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the screen. A soft cloth or brush may
be used to lightly whisk away any loose dirt or particles. Do not use a sharp instrument to remove any
particles. Softly brush from the center to the edges. An upholstery brush attachment on a vacuum
cleaner may be used, but only if it is perfectly clean. We encourage you to keep your screen clean. Avoid
getting any foreign materials on it, as cleaning it may prove very difcult or even impossible (paint, ink,
etc.). Never paint in the vicinity of the screen unless the fabric is completely protected.
