Seymour-Screen Excellence Is Now Shipping Retro Masking System Unveiled at 2022 CEDIA Expo, this ingenious, cost-effective ($1,195 MSRP) accessory adds 16:9 acoustically transparent motorized masking to any brand’s ultra-wide fixed frame film screen. This blackens undesirable grey pillar bars properly framing the content, that along with remote or automated control, adds a layer of sophistication to the home theater Ames, IA – April 5, 2023 - Seymour-Screen Excellence, the made-in-the-USA CEDIA channel brand that specializes in reference-grade woven-fabric acoustically transparent (A.T.) film screens and motorized masking designs -- and sister company to DIY A.T. film screen brand Seymour AV -- is now shipping its Retro Masking System accessory. Retro Masking System is a purpose-built, custom solution to add motorized 16:9 masking to all brand’s ultra-wide (native aspect ratios such as 2.35, 2.37, 2.40) fixed-frame film screens from 100 to 300-inches wide. The system consists of a pair of sleek housings finished in black velvet that attach to the top left and right of the screen frame. Inside each is a roll of Seymour’s sheer black acoustically transparent masking driven by a 24v DC motor. These operate in tandem via a provided wall switch (and power supply) as well as an RF remote. The system can also be upgraded to integrate with home automation. Regardless of size, MSRP is set at $1,195, thus enabling enthusiasts to cost-effectively add a layer of sophistication to their home theater regardless of size or brand. Prior this could only be achieved by upgrading to a new film screen and motorized system (costly) or adapting magnetic 16:9 “snap in place" masking panels. While these are effective, they are far from the experience of operating the masking via remote control or home automation.
