09.05.2008 — SI showed its new screen tension system on the first day of CEDIA Expo 2008.

The new tension system uses small bungee cables fed through small eyes and secured to a tab. SI says the tension system should help installers shorten the time of the screen installation.

Screen Research, one of SI's competitors, introduced a new snap-based screen tension system that also expedites the install process.

Screen Research also showed its new Solid Pix screen material and customizable X-Masking system, which enables consumers to choose their own photos to cover the screens when it's not in use.
