Know before you buy
The Parallax Stratos 1.0 is an ambient light rejecting surface, which helps maintain contrast and image quality in rooms that aren't completely dark. It is specifically engineered to handle 4K and 8K resolution, ensuring your high-definition content remains sharp and vibrant.
While the sliding bracket system is designed to simplify the process, this is a ceiling-recessed unit that requires cutting into your ceiling and managing electrical wiring. If you are not comfortable with structural modifications or low-voltage electrical work, professional installation is recommended.
The tensioning system, combined with the Slim-Tab design, keeps the screen material pulled taut horizontally and vertically. This prevents the curling or waves that can occur on non-tensioned electric screens, ensuring a perfectly flat surface that is essential for accurate geometry in 4K and 8K projection.
Yes, the Silent Drive System is engineered to minimize motor noise during deployment and retraction. While it is not completely silent, it is significantly quieter than standard electric screen motors, making it suitable for quiet home theater environments.
The Advantage Electrol series is designed for recessed ceiling installations. The integrated trim flange is specifically intended to conceal the rough opening, providing a clean, finished look once the screen is installed flush with your ceiling.
The UL Plenum rating indicates that the screen case meets specific fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces. This is a safety certification that ensures the materials used in the housing are suitable for installation in ceiling plenums where airflow is present.
