dnp Introduces Supernova Epic CS Curved Screen (4/9/2009)

Improved Uniformity Enhances the Cinema Experience dnp, the world leader in optical projection screen technology recently introduced the dnp Supernova Epic CS, which incorporates a perfectly curved screen with optical front projection screen technology.

“The dnp Supernova Epic and Epic CS are the ultimate front projection screens for home theater applications,” says Senior US Executive Manfred Freiberger. “The Epic CS combines all the attributes of the SupernovaÔ Epic but without the electronically controlled masking system. The perfectly curved screen enhances the perceived depth and uniformity of the image, resulting in the ultimate viewing experience – a movie theater in your home. The curvature of the screen also eliminates pincushion distortion caused by a combination of wide images and use of an anamorphic projector lens.”

The Epic CS supports all video formats including the ultra-wide Cinemascope 2.40:1. dnp’s ISF approved front projection optical technology features high-contrast filters that enable the projected image to be optimally reflected from the screen, while effectively deflecting ambient light and absorbing overhead light. The result is an enhanced image that is two-times brighter, and provides up to seven-times higher contrast ratio than conventional screens.

Supernova Epic CS uses an active optical technology that is made up of seven high-tech layers. The screen forms an optical “sandwich” designed to enhance the image for optimum viewing in high ambient and low light environments. A special neutral black tint has been added to the screen material to produce deeper blacks, vivid colors and excellent neutral gray scale reproduction.

The Supernova Epic CS is available in screen sizes from 96-inches to 156-inches, and offers accessories including a wall mount and an optional floor stand. The 96” screen has an MRSP of $8,248.00USD.

dnp Supernova offers a variety of screen options and sizes including the Supernova Infinity, which allows you to create a large-screen display of almost unlimited size, and the Supernova Panorama has a seamless width of up to 33-feet. Supernova One offers screen sizes of up to 120-inches, and the cost-effective Supernova™ Core offers screen sizes of up to 153-inches. The motorized SupernovaÔ Flex rolls up at the touch of a button into a ceiling or wall mount and is available in screens of up to 120-inches. The SupernovaÔ Mobile is ideal for situations where space is at a premium and where a permanent fixture is not desirable. For home theater applications the perfectly curved Epic and Epic CS provide the ultimate Cinemascope experience, and are available in sizes from 96 to 156-inches.
