Choosing between Da-Lite screen families
Ceiling-recessed electric
The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage hides in the ceiling when not in use. Its case is UL plenum rated and comes with its own ceiling trim, and it can be installed in two stages: the case during rough-in and the screen surface during finishing. The TruGuide tensioning system keeps the surface flat, and 16:9 sizes run from 45 × 80 inches to 146 × 260 inches.
Wall and ceiling electric
The Da-Lite Cosmopolitan mounts on a wall or ceiling, with a single-piece steel case and integrated mounting holes on sizes up to 12 feet wide, and a two-piece aluminium case with brackets from 188 inches diagonal. It has a three-position wall switch, a white case as standard, and a black backing on front projection surfaces. The store's 34464 is a 69 × 110-inch, 130-inch diagonal 16:10 Cosmopolitan in matte white.
Portable folding
The Da-Lite Fast-Fold Deluxe is built for rental and staging, with a leg-to-frame locking mechanism that has no loose parts, 1¼-inch aluminium frame and legs, a wheeled carrying case and a 5-year warranty. Standard 16:9 sizes reach 90.5 × 162.5 inches of image, and the Heavy Duty Fast-Fold Deluxe reaches 15 × 26.5 feet for large venues.
Surfaces and control
Screen surfaces
Da-Lite surfaces are chosen for gain and viewing angle. Tensioned Advantage screens are available with HD Progressive 0.6, 0.9 and 1.1 and Parallax surfaces, among others. For Fast-Fold Deluxe screens, HD Rental has gain 1.0 with an 85° half angle, Da-Tex rear projection gain 1.3 with a 30° half angle, and Dual Vision gain 0.9 with a 65° half angle.
Controls and power
The Tensioned Advantage comes with a Low Voltage Control and a three-button wall switch, with optional RF and infrared remotes for integration with room control. Legrand lists the Cosmopolitan 34464 with a standard 120 V, 60 Hz motor, and the store also carries a Da-Lite 40973 single motor low voltage control system. Confirm the motor voltage for UAE 230 V supply when ordering.
Where Da-Lite screens are used
Boardrooms and executive meeting rooms use ceiling-recessed Tensioned Advantage screens so the screen disappears when not in use; see Boardrooms & Meeting Rooms. Universities and training centres use large electric screens in lecture halls; see Education & Training Spaces. Hotels and event companies in the UAE use Fast-Fold Deluxe and Heavy Duty Fast-Fold screens with drapery in ballrooms and exhibition halls, where screens are set up and struck the same day.
Accessories and planning
Da-Lite screens are specified with their accessories and the projector position. Before ordering, check:
- Frame and transport: Fast-Fold cases, frame braces and skirts for portable systems.
- Mounting: recessed ceiling space or the wall and ceiling fixing for a surface case.
- Control: wall switch, remote or low voltage control for room integration.
For the projector, ceiling and wall mounts from the VSYS range carry 20 kg or 35 kg; see Projector Mounts. Choose the projector for the screen size in Projectors.
