Vutec was a pioneer in the manufacture of video projection screens and was recognized as an industry leader with the development of advanced high-gain curved screens. With the advancement of projection technology, Vutec met every challenge for products which today fills the need for virtually every requirement.
“At EHX, Vutec will introduce the next generation of high-gain curved screen for the Home Theater within the upscale Vision-X brand,” said Kevin Baisley, Vutec’s Vice President of Sales. “DYNA-CURVE offers a total sense of viewer immersion, true high definition, outstanding color reproduction and contrast,” he said.

It all lives up to its name – Dyna (short for “Dynamic”),” said Howard Sinkoff, Vutec’s President
Of the more than one hundred products manufactured by Vutec today, the company will provide visitors at EHX with a select number of its products coming out of its three umbrella brands: Vutec™, ArtScreen and Vision X™.

SilverStar™ - The True High Definition Screen (available in Vutec and VisionX brands)
Vutec has maintained its leadership position with the development of the patented SilverStar™, its current high quality achievement and the industry’s first new screen technology in more than 30 years.
SilverStar™, a fixed screen, is the true high-definition screen producing a gain six times brighter than a white screen.” said Mr. Baisley. “When applied to the new Vision-X Dyna-Curve, being shown at EHX, visitors will view a screen with outstanding color reproduction, high contrast, full viewing and exceptional definition,” Baisley said.
ArtScreen™ - Transforms Your Video Projection Screen into a Work of Art
ArtScreen™, which has received numerous awards including the Multi-Room Audio Video Award from the Consumer Electronics Association, transforms a flat panel TV or video projection screen into an elegant work of art - from a large selection of Giclee (canvas) fine art prints – or photographs. Inside a beautiful hardwood frame, the desired artwork ascends or descends with the touch of a remote. When the display screen or television is not in use, the digital art-on-canvas image of your choice is displayed within the frame.
CineScape Series is available for front or rear video projection screens up to 60” in height by 106” in width. Custom sizes can also be accommodated.
The SoundScape 360 is Vutec’s second-generation ArtScreen designed to accommodate the new single speaker surround sound technology. Integrated into the ArtScreen housing, SoundScape 360 features a fully dimensional sound compartment that can be positioned above or below the video display. SoundScape 360 is available for Plasma or LCD displays from 32 inches to over 65 inches in size.
Theater Art Systems with ArtScreen™ - Merging High Tech with Art (through Vutec and VisionX lines)
Keeping pace with the continued surge of popularity in home entertainment, and the increased demand for home theaters, Vutec Corporation will showcase its Theater Art Systems (TAS). The feature of “TAS” is the marriage of fine art and state-of-the-art technology, addressing consumer demand for versatility and integration.
Theater Art Systems combines the ArtScreen™, framed motorized art with an automatic vertical masking system that transforms Flat Panel Television or video projection screens into beautiful works of art.
Theater Art Systems transforms any room into a Home Theater. When the artwork is retracted it reveals a 2.35:1 Cinemascope format screen. The screen in turn masks a 16:9 HD format, with vertical masks that motor up on both side. “TAS” includes SilverStar™, delivering the ultimate in picture quality featuring extraordinary detail, vivid colors and a higher contrast ratio in controlled or uncontrolled lighting.
Howard Sinkoff, Vutec’s president, said that in the last several years a dedicated media room has virtually become a standard feature in high end homes and high-rises throughout the country. “The beauty of Theater Art Systems,” said Sinkoff, “is that it is ideal as an adaptation for any room in the house – family room, living room, bedroom or den.”
SoundScreen™ - Full frequency sound reproduction and picture clarity (through Vutec and VisionX brands)
Unequalled for its sound transmission, SoundScreen™ is an audio transparent screen surface providing full frequency sound transmission and an improved picture quality. Speakers are positioned behind the screen, either flush in the wall, or floor standing. At EHX, SoundScreen will be shown on the Vision XTC, a Ceiling Flush Mounted screen with a Motorized Trap Door.
In the Vutec Brand, the product offers an optional black backing which increases contrast and Black level. The back eliminates reflections from the back wall and allows placement in front of Plasma TVs or reflective surfaces. In the Vision X brand, black backing is standard.
DecoFrame™ - Transforms Flat Panel TV’s into a Stylish Accessory (through Vutec and VisionX brands)
DecoFrame™ , for fixed wall screens, decoratively transforms a flat panel TV into a stylish room accessory, providing the finishing touch to enhance any room décor. “With total ownership of Flat Panel televisions in the US expected to exceed 10 million units in 2008, many consumers want to integrate their video displays into their homes’ interior design,” said Kevin Baisley.
DecoFrame is available in nine standard sizes and ten frame finishes for Plasma and LCD’s from 32 to 60 inches. Custom orders are also available.
