Screen Innovations (SI) launches a re-engineering of the Solo projection screen family-- now up to 3.5m wide in AC, DC and wireless lithium rechargeable options.

One of the signature features of the new SI Solo 2 motorised cassette is a decorator-friendly design. Cassette sizes start at 90m in depth and height, making them 17% smaller than the original. The Solo 2 also employs a longer-lasting rechargeable lithium-powered motor. The battery lasts for up to 2 years on a single charge and, in case of recharging, users do not need to pull out a ladder to reach and disassemble the motor casing.

Vivitek announces the HK2200-- a 4K UHD projector featuring native 3840 x 2160 resolution through a Texas Instruments DMP chip enabling the display of a full 8.3 million pixels on the screen.

Designed for home theatre use, the HK2200 delivers Rec.709 colour space using DLP technology. A ViviPeaking function refines surface details to improve detail accuracy for an optimal viewing experience, while HDR compatibility provides clarity and colorimetry. The HK2200 includes colour enhancer and skin tone optimiser functions, and ISF-ready calibration tools allow installers to further fine tune the colour result.

Optoma announces an addition to the DuraCore projector lineup-- the ZH403, a compact 1080p number designed to offer 30000 hours of maintenance-free operation in medium-size venues such as meeting rooms and trade shows.

The ZH403 is 4K and HDR compatible, and features 1.3x zoom and built-in sound system. Installers can set up in virtually any orientation, thanks to 360-degree installation and portrait projection. The laser light source and direct power on/direct power off mean the ZH403 requires no time to warm up, and needs no cool-down time. Max brightness totals 4000 ANSI lumens.

Optoma expands the DuraCore laser ProScene projector lineup with three high-specification compact models-- the ZU606TSTe, ZU606Te (WUXGA) and ZH606e (Full HD 1080p), all offering 6300 lumens brightness with 4K and HDR compatibility.

Designed for professional installation, the ZU606TSTe and ZU606Te also feature HDBaseT connectivity. Meanwhile the short throw lens of the ZU606TSTe allows for "stunning" image performance even from a short distance. The DuraCore range claims an industry-leading laser light source with an independent IP-rated dust certification. Lamp life totals 30000 hours in full brightness mode for the three projectors, and IP6X certification ensures total reliability.

Screen Innovations (SI) announces an expansion of its range of low-voltage motorised screens. Originally developed for the CI channel back in 2017, the motor technology now belongs in the entire line of SI motorised screens.

According to the company, global standardisation has lead to installers around the world favouring motorised screens powered by "structured" cables. The SI low-voltage system improves the versatility of, and compatibility with, any top of low-voltage wire.

Epson launches the LS500 Laser Projection TV, a combination of ultra short throw projector and ambient light rejecting screen available in either 100- or 120-inch screen sizes for a complete entertainment solution.

The LS500 is carries Epson 4K PRO-UHD 3LCD technology, and is capable of displaying 4K HDR images with full 10-bit colour processing accepting 100% of the RGB colour signal for every frame, allowing display of the Rec. 709 colour space. Advanced black density control individually pulses the laser light emitted by the Epson Dynamic Laser Array diodes to suppress stray light within the signal, producing a contrast ratio of 2500000:1.
