Severtson Screens, a global of projection screens for the home theater, commercial, pro AV, and cinema markets, has announced it will promote its recently launched Proteus Series projection screens with built-in masking system during CEDIA Expo 2025.
The company points out the annual trade event will be held in Denver from Sept. 4-6 at the Colorado Convention Center this year, and it will be exhibiting in booth #4140. Describing the benefit of the Proteus Series, Severtson Screens says the product line allows homeowners to quickly and easily switch between 16:9 and 2.39:1 aspect ratios.
“The Proteus Series is the ultimate in home theater and permanent installation flexibility, designed with a built-in masking system that allows the aspect ratio of the screen to be changed at the push of a button for superior viewing versatility,” explains Aaron White, home theater & pro AV sales lead at Severtson Corp. “As one of Severtson’s most innovative technologies, Proteus’ masking material is designed to absorb all spill-over that results from the projected media and the viewing surface being in different native formats. This gives the viewer a razor-sharp viewing edge.”
Proteus Series Eliminates Visible Black Bars
Severtson boasts that its new Proteus Series screens are the product of several years of research and development (R&D), reaching the goal of providing high-performance, adjustable-aspect ratio screen capabilities to homeowners. The company points out the Proteus Series screens allow users to quickly, quietly, and easily transform the screen to accommodate common aspect ratios (16:9 and 2.39:1) without visible gray bars which can distract from the viewing experience. For example, according to Severtson, homeowners can watch TV programming and sports in 16:9 format without any projection bleed-over or visible gray bars, then switch to the CinemaScope 2.39:1 aspect ratio for movies at the simple push of a button.
