Screen Innovations to Debut ST Moto, Ultra-Short Throw Motorized Projection Screen
Screen Innovations (SI) will debut its new ST Moto, short throw motorized ALR projection screen at Booth W393. The new screen allows the use of an ultra-short throw UST projector and have the screen appear and disappear on command.
The ST Moto offers up to 120 feet in size diagonal, and up to 15 inches of black drop masking. With the customizable black drop option, tall or short ceilings are no longer a problem. The short throw ALR material presents a stunning image up to 8K resolution, rejects the ambient light of the room and provides a no-glare surface with contrast enhancement. The CNC tab tensions system mounting design ensures a flat and tight screen.
The ST Moto’s large screen size of up to 120-inch option is more than 140 degree of viewing angle, for complete coverage of any viewing environment. The screen is outstanding, with the use of a laser ultra-short throw projector that gives you the big screen experience and disappears when done. No other optic performs like SI’s short-throw ALR motorized screen.

K-array’s Electronic Beam Steering (EBS) products will be on display, including the new Kayman-KY102-EBS. A stainless-steel line array element with eight four-inch drivers, the EBS version of the Kayman is the embodiment of precision and power thanks to its capabilities of Electronic Beam Steering, achieved via FIR processing on eight independent channels of K-array’s Kommander EBS amplifiers.
The newly launched GH8 from KGEAR, which utilizes Slim Array Technology (SAT) to provide the best possible sound linearity and directivity, will be another focal point. Building upon the success of the GH4, which will also be present in the demo room, the GH8 offers even higher SPL performance in a relatively small enclosure.
