The Yard Master Manual series of manually retractable outdoor projector screens has been launched by Elite Screens.

“There is been a growing demand for a retractable outdoor projection screen that has an indoor product look to it. When we launched this product, we did not want it to look like a stripped down piece of outdoor gear and we succeeded wonderfully. This has all the refinement worthy of a media room and all the rugged durability of an outdoor product,” says Elite Screens marketing manager Dave Rodgers.

A non-electric outdoor projector screen, the Yard Master Manual is IP33 certified for rain/water protection using an enameled aluminum casing and rustproof components (including the housing, roller tube, brackets, handle, weight bar, and floating wall/ceiling brackets). The rising and lowering mechanism uses a slow retract mechanism (SRM) that prolongs the product’s lifespan and allows the material to rise back up into its casing unassisted.

The home theatre grade, MaxWhite projection material is designed to withstand the elements and, with a 1.1 gain projection surface, provides a wide viewing angle with superb colour temperature.

Its 4K Ultra HD and Active 3D Ready material accommodates the highest performance projectors and even active 3D presentations. Additional aesthetics include black borders that enhance perceived contrast while negating projection over scan. The material has a black backing that eliminates light penetration for a brighter image. It is also Greenguard (UL2808) certified for safe air quality emissions.
