Projection Surfaces

An advanced black projection surface that returns the image and absorbs the room. It holds deep black and true color in spaces that cannot be darkened, and on camera.

The First Principle

Every projection surface receives two kinds of light at once: the image from the projector (the light you want), and the ambient light of the space (the light you did not ask for).

• A plain screen returns both. Black lifts toward gray, and contrast collapses in any lit space.
• The Qualia Forge surface returns the image and absorbs the room. Black holds. Color stays true.

You cannot make black darker by adding light. Black is set by the surroundings, unless the surface absorbs that light at the material level. How it works, in full.

Between Projection and LED

The surface gives you the contrast under ambient light that buyers choose LED walls for, together with what projection has always done better: seamless scale, light weight, curved shapes, and a clean image on camera with no moir\u00e9. LED walls, by comparison, are heavy, seamed, and power-hungry, and struggle on curves.

Where to Go Next

• How it works: how an absorptive surface holds black under light.
• Applications: touring, virtual production, domes, broadcast, and more.
• The Range: a graded range of surfaces in three families, each named by number.
• The Build: materials, weights, and physical behavior.
• Field guide: everything worth knowing before you specify a projected image.
• The Configurator, an interactive planning tool, is on the full site.

Measured, Not Claimed

Contrast, color gamut, color accuracy and acoustic figures are measured in an independent optical laboratory and issued per surface. There is no gain value, because these surfaces do not trade viewing angle for brightness.

See It with Your Own Eyes

You cannot evaluate this surface from a chart. We demonstrate at our facility in Hollywood, Los Angeles, or we arrange a demo around your project.
