Built for home theaters, corporate meeting rooms, and education spaces, CineTension 2 delivers a flawless, wrinkle-free viewing surface thanks to its integrated tab-tension system. This premium screen is not only designed to provide sharp, vibrant images with accurate color reproduction, but also to endure the realities of real-world environments with an enamel-coated aluminum housing that resists moisture and corrosion. Whether you’re setting up a dedicated cinema room or outfitting a multi-use classroom, CineTension 2 offers a superior balance of performance, durability, and clean, modern aesthetics. The combination of a motorized mechanism, quiet operation, and a robust construction makes this screen a reliable workhorse for frequent use, while its sleek enclosure maintains a refined look in any setting. In short, CineTension 2 is the ideal choice for anyone who demands top-tier image clarity, easy operation, and long-lasting value in a wall- or ceiling-mounted projection screen.

• Flawless flatness with tab-tension technology: The built-in tab-tension system distributes tension across the entire viewing surface, preventing wrinkles or curling even on larger diagonals. This yields a consistently sharp image from edge to edge, enhancing contrast and color fidelity for 1080p, 4K, and HDR content alike. The result is a cinema-quality experience without the compromise of sagging or waviness that can mar pictures on conventional screens.
• Powerful yet whisper-quiet motorized operation: CineTension 2 uses a smooth, low-noise electric motor that retracts and deploys with minimal disturbance. The controlled roll-out offers precise stop points and repeatable performance, so you can rely on a dependable screen position every time you power up or shut down your projector. This quiet mechanism is ideal for home theaters, classrooms, and conference rooms where acoustics matter as much as image quality.
• Durable, moisture-resistant aluminum housing: The enclosure features an enamel-coated aluminum housing that protects the screen fabric and mechanism from humidity, dust, and minor splashes. This makes CineTension 2 suitable for spaces with fluctuating humidity or less-than-perfect storage conditions, while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance that complements any decor.
• Versatile installation for multiple spaces: Whether you’re mounting the screen to a wall or from the ceiling, CineTension 2 offers flexible installation options to fit your room geometry. The sturdy mounting brackets, alignment features, and standard throw compatibility help ensure a level, secure setup with minimal fuss. It’s an ideal solution for living rooms, classrooms, home theaters, and corporate environments where space and layout vary widely.
• Premium screen fabric and color accuracy: The CineWhite screen fabric delivers a bright, accurate image with wide viewing angles and stable color reproduction across the entire surface. Its matte finish reduces glare and hotspots, making it ideal for rooms with ambient light. The fabric is designed for easy cleaning and long-term durability, preserving image clarity through countless showings and presentations.

How to install Elite Screens CineTension 2

• Assess your room and select the correct diagonal size: Measure your projection throw distance and room height to choose a CineTension 2 model that provides a comfortable viewing size without overwhelming the space. Consider wall-to-projector distance, seating layout, and ambient light to optimize image quality.
• Prepare mounting surfaces: If mounting to a wall, locate studs and ensure a secure anchor point. For ceiling installs, locate joists or use appropriate anchors. Use a level to ensure the mounting brackets will sit squarely to avoid tilt or skew in the screen when deployed.
• Install mounting brackets and power supply: Attach the brackets to the wall or ceiling according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify levelness and ensure there is a clear path for the screen to roll up and down without obstruction. Route the power cord and ensure a safe power source is available near the installation site.
• Mount the CineTension 2 housing and align: Secure the motor housing to the brackets, ensuring the housing sits plumb. Align the screen surface with the projector axis so that the image projects centrally onto the screen when deployed. A helper can assist during this step to keep alignment precise.
• Test deployment and adjust limits: Power on the unit and deploy the screen to verify smooth operation and a taut, flat surface. If needed, adjust the upper and lower limit stops to achieve the desired fully extended position and top/bottom alignment. Calibrate any remote control or control system integration for consistent performance.
• Finalize connections and set up calibration: Connect any control systems or remotes, input projector settings, and run a test with multiple content types (dark scenes, bright scenes, motion) to confirm color, brightness, and uniformity. Clean the screen surface with a soft microfiber cloth as needed to remove dust.
