Owner’s Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest optical viewing
screens available anywhere in the world!
Please take a moment to review this manual, it will help ensure you many
years of trouble-free service from your new Stewart Filmscreen product.
About the Cine-W
Your Cine-W fixed frame supports superwide formats such as
Cinemascope. The frame acts as a projection overscan border. The VeLux
finish is designed to absorb any overscanning.
The screen fabric attaches to the frame using hooks and grommets.
The standard mount is a wall mount; other options include T-stand self-
supporting and stage fly (hanging) mounts.
Using this manual for installation
If you are using this manual to inst all the Cine-W, you should be aware that
it describes procedures for several types of mounts. You must refer to the
section for the type of screen mount. In addition, there are instructions for
attaching the screen to the frame that are provided in a separate section.
This procedure is to be performed at a specific step in the overall sequence.
For the frame and mount type, refer to the appropriate section:
Wall mount
Stage fly (hanging mount)
T-stand
At the designated point in the inst allation, you will need to refer to the
general instructions for attaching the screen to the frame.

3. During shipping, the frame brackets are attached to the wall
mount brackets. Detach the frame brackets from the wall mount
bracket and attach them to the frame using two 1/4-20 Allen head
machine screws per bracket. See Figure 2.
4. Bolt wall brackets to the frame using the supplied 5/8” hex head
bolts.
Notes:
Depending on the size of the screen, the number of wall brackets
may vary.

Positioning the frame and wall brackets
To accurately position the frame, you must temporarily attach the wall
brackets to the frame, and then position the frame on the wall.
1. Without the screen fabric attached, position the frame and
brackets on the wall. Refer to Figure 3.
2. Make sure the unit is level and plumb. (Y ou may need to use
shims between the brackets and the wall to achieve vertical
plumb).
3. Mark the position of the bracket holes on the wall.
4. Drill holes in the wall as needed.
5. Remove the brackets from the frame and att ach them to the wall
using the appropriate fasteners (hex lag screws, wall anchors,
molly bolts, wood carriage screws, etc.). Refer to Figure 3.
Note: Later, when the screen fabric is att ached to the frame, you
will re-attach the frame to the bracket s on the wall.
Hanging the frame and screen on the wall
1. Go to the section “Attaching the Screen to the Frame” and attach
the screen.
2. Attach the frame, with the screen att ached, to the previously
mounted wall brackets using the 5/8” hex head bolts.

T-STAND
Figure 5: T-Stand

This section provides the instructions for att aching the screen to the frame.
DO NOT perform this step UNTIL instructed to do so in the section for the
specific type of mount you are using.
Unpacking and unrolling the screen
The viewing side of the projection screen is rolled to the inside to protect
the optical coating. The screen is rolled lengthwise.
1. Remove the screen from the cardboard shipping tube.
2. On a clean flat surface, unroll screen viewing side up.
Attaching the screen to the frame
You will attach the screen to the top left corner of the frame first, then along
the top, then the sides, then the bottom. Read the tips and follow the
procedure sequence.
Tips for attaching the screen to the frame
Read all instructions prior to beginning.
During packing and transit, the screen may shrink. The Stewart
screen material has some elasticity, and will stretch and spring
back. The grommeted edge binding will not stretch past the
manufactured outer dimensions. After the screen is attached to
the frame, some tension will be apparent at each grommet.
Handle the screen carefully. Avoid contact of the screen fabric
with fingernails. Grasp the screen edge binding only .
As you finish attaching each section, take a moment to pause and
inspect the screen to ensure that it is not pulling or stretching in
such a way that it may tear .
8Stewart Filmscreen Corporation
ATTACHING THE SCREEN TO THE FRAME
Caution
Be careful not to touch or scratch the image surface
with fingernails.
Do not use any tools to fasten the screen to the frame.
Do not fold or crease the screen.

Procedure
1. Provide a secure support for the frame as you att ach the screen.
For example, lean the frame against the wall, or attach the frame
to the T-stand.
2. Starting at the top left corner, attach S-hooks to the grommets to
make a proper corner fit. S tarting at the top left corner, attach two
to four hooks down the side and across the top. Do not allow the
weight of the screen to rest on any one hook during this time.
3. Attach the center top S-hook, and the top right S-hook so that the
screen is supported. The screen center line is marked with a red
grommet at the frame center.
4. Along the top, attach alternate S-hooks to grommets along the
top from the top left to the center top.
As you work, inspect the screen to ensure that it is properly
attached and not overstretched.
When the middle S-hook is attached to the center top grommet,
the grommet should be within 1 to 2” (2.5 to 5 cm) of the center
of the screen. If the center hook is short of the center grommet,
continue attaching the hooks along the top until you reach the
end. You will need to adjust the screen on the frame before
attaching the sides. Shift the S-hooks one grommet at a time to
move the screen sideways on the frame. When the screen is
centered on the frame, you can proceed with the sides.
Skip S-hooks if you need to develop enough slack in the shock
cord to hook the grommet without creating too much tension. If
you feel that you are pulling on the screen or the shock cord too
much, attach only the hooks that allow for minimal tension to give
the material enough time to stretch before att aching the skipped
hooks.
Cine-W: Owner’s Manual 9
Figure 6: Attaching the screen

5. Attach the screen to the sides of the frame, att aching every other
S-hook from the top to the center. If the screen edge is more
than 1 to 2” (2.5 to 5 cm) from the frame on the right side, allow a
few minutes for the screen to stretch before continuing. Tension
should be even; the top of screen and frame should be parallel.
Attach the S-hooks on the lef t side, from top to bottom.
Attach the S-hooks on the right side, from top to bottom.
6. Inspect the screen to ensure that it is properly attached and not
overstretched. Check for even tension.
7. Attach the screen to the bottom of the frame, using the
techniques described below.
Begin attaching the bottom in the corners, being careful not to put
too much tension on any grommets.
Work from the left corner toward the center, attach every other S-
hook.
If there is too much tension, wait to allow the screen time to
stretch as needed.
Starting at the right corner, attach the every other S-hook along
the bottom, working toward the center.
8. When screen fabric is sufficiently stretched, attach all remaining
S-hooks along the top, sides, and the bottom.
9. Make a final inspection of the screen to verify that it is attached
properly and the corners are free from uneven tension.
Excessive stress (improper screen alignment) will cause tears to
eventually develop.
