Products and Services
Projection Screens and Support Systems — We believe we are a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium large format projection screens to the cinema industry in North America and around the globe. We have contractual relationships to supply screens to IMAX, AMC, Cinemark and many of the other major cinema operators worldwide. We expect those relationships to continue post Separation. We also manufacture innovative screen support structures custom built to adapt to virtually any venue requirement, with a unique self-standing modular construction that allows for easy assembly and adjustable size.
In addition to traditional projection screens, we also manufacture our Eclipse curvilinear screens, which are specially designed to provide maximum viewer engagement in media-based attractions and immersive projection environments. We distribute Eclipse screens for use in theme parks, immersive exhibitions, as well as military simulation applications. The solid surface is designed to minimize light loss and maintain higher resolution at lower lumen output. Patented speaker panels allow selective placement of rear mounted speakers to ensure the audio derives from the source media on screen. Applications include interactive dark rides, 3D/4D theme park rides, flying theaters and motion simulators.
Our management believes that our screens are among the highest quality in the industry in terms of performance including the amount of gain (or brightness of the image reflected from the screen’s surface), viewing angles, and other characteristics important to the viewing experience. Our high quality is driven by our innovative manufacturing process, focus on quality control and our proprietary coatings. We believe that we are the only major screen manufacturer that develops and produces its own proprietary coatings, which are critical to the overall quality and continued innovation of our screens.
Technical Services — We provide digital projection equipment installation and after-sale maintenance and network support services to the cinema operators in the United States. Our field service technicians and our NOC staff work hand in hand to monitor and resolve system and other issues for our customers. Many of our customers choose annual managed service arrangements for maintenance and repair services. We also provide maintenance services to customers who choose not to be covered by a managed service contract on a time and materials basis. Our NOC, staffed by software engineers and systems technicians, operates 24/7/365 and monitors our customers’ networked equipment remotely, often providing proactive solutions to systems issues before they cause system failures.
Other Products — We distribute projectors, servers, audio systems and other third-party products including lenses and lamps to customers in North and South America.
