While SightLine’s standard 70”, aircraft-grade cable drop screen feature covers most custom drop-sizing scenarios, the 10’ drop option is designed to provide more flexibility for unique installations, such as unusually high ceilings, where additional drop may be required. Da-Lite’s cable drop feature, SightLine™, available with the tried-and-true Tensioned Advantage® and Advantage electric screens, gives the impression of a floating screen. A suspension system in its single roller design features 3 or 4 thin cables eliminating the need for black drop – the black border above the projection screen. While the market is accustomed to specifying drop distance upon ordering, now vertical placement of the screen can be variable as the cables accommodate a range of drop distances up to 70′ standard and a 10′ option between the ceiling and the top of the screen – making ordering a snap. What’s more, this feature creates usable space above the viewing area to preserve architectural interests and provides the opportunity for camera/speaker placement. Enhanced aesthetics, painless ordering, smooth installation and future-proofing for height adjustability – this is the fine line between status quo and jaw drop.

Drawing Sign-off Not Required.
