What Elite Screens has done to accomplish the 12 volt trigger compatibility, is provide a second RF remote (seen on the
left of the image above), but this one has two wires coming out of it (and Elite advises that the wires will shortly come with
the traditional jack that 12 volt outputs on projectors expect). The idea here, is to simply plug the jack/wire into the 12 volt
trigger on your projector, and leave the remote right there by the projector. The remote is small enough to easily hide on
the shelf (if shelf mounting) or on the "top" of the projector (actually the bottom) when ceiling mounting.
When the projector sends out its 12 volt trigger "switch" it causes the remote to put out the RF command which the screen
then receives. The bottom line, is that it works. Funky, but it works. I should note, that the 12 volt trigger remote still has
the usual up/down/stop manual buttons found on the regular remotes.
This Elite screen comes with wall mounting brackets, or it can be ceiling mounted.
In operation, the screen is moderately quiet, but hardly silent. The speed going up and down isn't particularly impressive,
but who really cares if one screen takes two or three more seconds than another?
More important, however, are the questions of, how good is it acoustically, and how good is it from an image standpoint.
Elite Home2 AcousticPro Projection Screen: Image quality
I was actually impressed with the color accuracy of this Elite screen. As you may know, I use a 106 inch Carada screen,
with the Brilliant White surface (which Carada rates at 1.4 gain), as my standard screen, in my testing room. The Carada
is noted for having an excellent, color neutral surface, which in general performance is considered similar to Stewarts
Studiotek 130, considered by many, to be the reference standard.
To compare the abilities of the Elite screen's surface, to the Carada's, one thing I did was to partially lower the Elite screen
so that images would end up half, on the Elite screen, and half on the Carada.
The image immediately below is a test pattern of primary and secondary colors - and white, from one of my test discs.
The black line you see running between the upper colors and the lower ones, is actually the bottom structure of the Elite
screen. Therefore, the colors above the black bar, are those shining off the Elite, and the ones below the bar, are coming
off of the Carada. As you can see from the image, each of the colors are almost identical. Using Photshop, I looked at the
actual color composition (RGB) of each of the colors. I found overall, the Elite screen suffers a very, very slight shift to
yellow/green in several of the colors, and overall. (although the white itself measures a touch blue). The assumption here,
is that the Carada is excellent in terms of color accuracy, and the Elite not far from the Carada's performance.
The next image is another "split screen" with the Elite on top, and the Carada below. Since you are seeing different
portions of the same image, it's a bit hard to truly accertain how close to identical these two screens are. For that reason,
the second image is the same frame, shown only on the Elite. You can now see the bottom of the face, and the tunic of our
subject, on the Elite. Between the two photos, you cannow see the same lower portion of the image on each screen:
