The rear stage wall may be obscured by a traveler, if a cyclorama or projection screen is not in place. Tabs, also known as up-and-downers (UK) or Germans, are drapes hung perpendicular to the proscenium and at the sides, used to more completely mask the wings than legs. Unlike most stage drapery, these run up to downstage (hence "up-and-downer").
The process of manufacturing blackout was invented by Baltimore-based Rockland Industries, [2] and involves coating a fabric with layers of foam, or 'passes'. A '2-pass' blackout is produced by applying two passes of foam to a fabric – first, a black layer is applied to the fabric, then a white or light-colored layer is applied on top of the black.
Although a projection screen cannot improve a projector's contrast level, the perceived contrast can be boosted. In an optimal viewing room, the projection screen is reflective, whereas the surroundings are not. The ambient light level is related to the overall reflectivity of the screen, as well as that of the surroundings.
A Zenith 1200 CRT Projector based home theater. Visible extending from the ceiling are three lenses, one each for red, green and blue Black and white CRT projector. A CRT projector is a video projector that uses a small, high-brightness cathode-ray tube (CRT) as the image generating element. The image is then focused and enlarged onto a screen ...
An overhead projector works on the same principle as a slide projector, in which a focusing lens projects light from an illuminated slide onto a projection screen where a real image is formed. However some differences are necessitated by the much larger size of the transparencies used (generally the size of a printed page), and the requirement ...
Quite often these spools will be located some way from the projector and the film path may be over rollers along the ceiling of the projection room and surrounds. The lenses of the projector can be automatically rotated in front of the projector light aperture to accommodate the correct lens for a given format. The picture to the right shows a ...
Simulation of a spinning zoopraxiscope An early projector and seats from a movie theater. The main precursor to the movie projector was the magic lantern.In its most common setup it had a concave mirror behind a light source to help direct as much light as possible through a painted glass picture slide and a lens, out of the lantern onto a screen.
A holographic screen is a two-dimensional display technology that uses coated glass media for the projection surface of a video projector. "Holographic" refers not to a stereoscopic effect, but to the coating that bundles light using formed microlenses. The lens design and attributes match the holographic area.
