Screen Excellence has announced the latest addition to its True Aspect Masking (TAM) film screen system, the TAM-Art Edition, covering the entire film screen surface with a custom print when not being used for video.

Screen Excellence’s TAM is available in native formats ranging from 16:9 to 2.40 and in custom sizes and key selling points include the company’s acclaimed Enlightor Neo woven-fabric acoustically transparent (AT) 4K film screen surface, automated sheer black AT motorised masking panels and black velvet borders.

The TAM screens provide Hollywood screening room performance and functionality while employing the best cinema practice of placing the center channel loudspeaker (and space permitting, the left and right mains) behind the AT film screen.

The TAM-Art option is a custom print on an additional AT curtain that is hidden in the system. TAM-Art, when deployed, is lowered (unrolled) from a motorised tube and kept in place with batten – much like an electric drop-down screen – and covers the entire surface of the film screen and masking.

Only visible is the artwork and the surrounding frame, much like a decorative picture on a wall. When the home owner is not using the video projector, they can listen to music through the AT custom-printed mask, as the speakers are mounted behind the film screen.
