    dnp INTRODUCES SUPERNOVA EPIC CS CURVED SCREEN

    Improved Uniformity Enhances the Cinema Experience

    By Gary Reber

    dnp, the world leader in optical projection screen
    technology recently introduced the dnp Supernova Epic CS, which incorporates
    a perfectly curved screen with optical front projection screen technology.

    “The dnp Supernova Epic and Epic CS are the ultimate front projection
    screens for home theater applications,” says Senior US Executive Manfred
    Freiberger. “The Epic CS combines all the attributes of the Supernova Epic
    but without the electronically controlled masking system. The perfectly
    curved screen enhances the perceived depth and uniformity of the image,
    resulting in the ultimate viewing experience – a movie theater in your home.
    The curvature of the screen also eliminates pincushion distortion caused by
    a combination of wide images and use of an anamorphic projector lens.”

    The Epic CS supports all video formats including the ultra-wide Cinemascope
    2.40:1. dnp’s ISF approved front projection optical technology features
    high-contrast filters that enable the projected image to be optimally
    reflected from the screen, while effectively deflecting ambient light and
    absorbing
    overhead light. The result is an enhanced image that is two-times
    brighter, and provides up to seven-times higher contrast ratio than
    conventional screens.

    Supernova Epic CS uses an active optical technology that is made up of seven
    high-tech layers. The screen forms an optical “sandwich” designed to enhance
    the image for optimum viewing in high ambient and low light environments. A
    special neutral black tint has been added to the screen material to produce
    deeper blacks, vivid colors and excellent neutral gray scale reproduction.

    The Supernova Epic CS is available in screen sizes from 96-inches to
    156-inches, and offers accessories including a wall mount and an optional
    floor stand. The 96” screen has an MRSP of $8,248.00USD.

    dnp Supernova offers a variety of screen options and sizes including the
    Supernova Infinity, which allows you to create a large-screen display of
    almost unlimited size, and the Supernova Panorama has a seamless width of up
    to 33-feet. Supernova One offers screen sizes of up to 120-inches, and the
    cost-effective Supernova™ Core offers screen sizes of up to
    153-inches. The
    motorized SupernovaÔ Flex rolls up at the touch of a button into a ceiling
    or wall mount and is available in screens of up to 120-inches. The
    SupernovaÔ Mobile is ideal for situations where space is at a premium and
    where a permanent fixture is not desirable. For home theater applications
    the perfectly curved Epic and Epic CS provide the ultimate Cinemascope
    experience, and are available in sizes from 96 to 156-inches.

    With corporate headquarters located in Karlslunde, Denmark, dnp is
    represented in the United States by MCF Marketing, who maintains a sales,
    service and distribution center in Irvine, California. dnp denmark is the
    world’s leading supplier of optical front and rear projection screens for

    Reason #53 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    There was little in the way of reading material to bridge the gap between the broadcast-level technical and the common consumer. Most of the generic publications were too simplistic with not enough meat. As the DVDs’ popularity developed beyond everyone’s wildest dreams, it became painfully obvious that there was a serious lack of credible printed matter to support the medium. And with HDTV in the wings, even less to draw from. Or so I thought, until I came upon Widescreen Review at a newsstand while on one of those proverbial business trips. I couldn't believe my eyes! Here's the kind of magazine I was looking for. But then, thinking that this was just a one-off issue, which just happened to contain an abundance of knowledge in an occasional issue, I decided to temper my enthusiasm and become a newsstand reader to see if the articles and features held up consistently. Well, that was all many issues ago and I'm now a dyed-in-the-wool reader of Widescreen Review. To their credit, the magazine has and continues to improve upon their expertise in the field. It's truly a one-stop resource when it comes to the latest in the ever-evolving world of audio/video integration for the consumer. Pixel on!
