"Screen Test" of Supernova Surfaces

Below you'll find the results of our tests with the Supernova Screen.  These are un-reotouched photos shot with available light in our studio and on location.  No enhancments have been made to the photos - they're exactly what you would see if you were here.  This is the real deal - a technology that works as advertised!!!

Two Surfaces

In the sample to the right, you'll see dnp's comparison of the two Supernova surfaces to matte white (in the middle). 

The 23-23 surface* at the top provides 230% more reflectivity than matte white while effectively absorbing ambient light.  It's ideal for low-brightness home theater projectors, active shutter 3D applications, or for situations with strong side light from windows or lamps.

The 08-85 surface has a gain of 0.8, 20% less bright than matte white, but it has 70% more contrast than matte white, providing richer, deeper blacks and shadow detail even in high ambient light situations.  It has an 85-degree half-gain angle, yielding practically a 180-degree viewing cone with no loss in brightness or color fidelity.

 

Comparison of Supernova 08-85 and 23-23 screen surfaces

This is a controlled-light experiment between Matte White and the Supernova Mobile with its 08-85 surface. A 3,000 lumen projector is projecting a special PowerPoint show with side-by-side images of two typical presentation slides and a couple of full frame photos. Ambient lighting is from three 50-watt overhead track lights about 3' in front of the screen, pointed directly at it. The first image in the loop is the control, showing two identical images under identical lighting conditions. In each case you'll see the Supernova Screen provides superior black levels and contrast in the most severe room lighting conditions.

This is our real life experiment showing the two types of Supernova Screen material, the 23-23 high gain on the left, and the ISF-certified 08-85 wide angle on the right. Behind and above them is the matte white screen so you can see how washed out the image would be without Supernova. (The loop starts with the reference image for comparison.)  Supernova One rigid screen samples are used for this experiment.

Application Images

Here are some shots of our Mobile screen in action at real events.  The most remarkable thing about it is how unremarkable it is! Images just look like they're supposed to.  Note the white panels or walls on the various images.  Without Supernova, the dark areas of the image would be as bright as the white panels.  If you want a projected image to look like it does on your laptop, the only solution is the dnp Supernova Screen.
