Know before you buy
No, the Kestrel Tab-Tension 3 is specifically engineered for standard-throw projectors. Using it with an ultra-short-throw projector will result in image distortion due to the screen's angular-reflective material.
The screen features a motorized scissor-lift system housed in a durable aluminum casing. It deploys vertically from the floor using the included IR or RF remotes, a manual switch, or a wireless 12v trigger that syncs with your projector's power cycle.
CineGrey 4D is an ambient light rejecting (ALR) material that helps maintain contrast and color saturation in rooms with some light. By reflecting the projector's light toward the viewer while absorbing overhead or peripheral light, it prevents the image from looking washed out.
Yes, the integrated tensioning cables pull the sides of the material taut, which prevents the curling or waves often found in non-tensioned motorized screens. This ensures a perfectly flat surface, which is essential for maintaining a sharp, undistorted image.
Absolutely. While it is portable enough to move if needed, its sturdy aluminum housing and motorized operation make it an excellent choice for a permanent, clean-looking home theater setup where you prefer not to mount a screen on the wall.
Yes, the CineGrey 4D material is fully compatible with 4K/8K Ultra HD, HDR, and Active 3D content. It is also ISF Certified, meaning it is calibrated to provide accurate color reproduction for a high-fidelity viewing experience.
