Two Screen Formats In One Housing PLUS Chroma Key

[Pompano Beach, FL – June 2, 2008] – Vutec’s Vu-Flex Pro Duplex™ screen, using patented technology that has been engineered to accommodate any two screen formats into one housing, features a Green/Blue Chroma Key Screen Option. The adapted model will be featured at InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas, from June 18-20. Vutec’s 2000 square foot exhibit will be located in Central Hall at Booth # C1217 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Chroma Key is a technique for mixing two images together, in which a color from one image is removed (or made transparent), revealing another image behind it. This technique is also referred to as color keying, greenscreen or bluescreen.

It is commonly used for television weather forecasts, in which the meteorologist appears to be standing in front of a large map, but which in actuality is a large blue or green background.

In video conferencing, Polycom uses chroma green key technology to bring creativity to any training, presentation or remote video conference via its People On Content HDX system. Presenters can step inside their presentation, giving the illusion they’re on-location. Backgrounds can include movie clips to detailed pictures to CAD drawings from any video source connected to the HDX system. It receives People On Content from any ISDN or IP video conferencing system and viewers see the presenter and content on a single screen.

Vutec perceived the need for a screen with a front surface and a chroma key screen – either green or blue – with two separate screens in one housing. Depending on the need, push a button and one of the two screens comes down.

The Vu-Flex Pro Duplex model offers dual retractable 4:3, 16:9 and 2.35:1 screen formats. Eliminating the need for extra housing, the screen is conveniently designed with a quiet motor-in-roller, trap doors, dual channel IR remote and uses self-supported fabrics. Engineered for ceiling mounted applications, Pro Duplex offers a wide variety of options, including custom screen sizes and formats. Pro Duplex offers the option to choose constant height for native 16:9 projectors or constant width for native 4:3 projectors.
