Enjoy ISF-certified imagery even with the lights on with the EPV EF158C-PST Polar Star eFinity CinemaScope 62 x 145.6" EDGE FREE Ambient Light Rejecting Fixed Frame Projection Screen. The EF158C-PST is a cinema wide 2.35:1, 158" diagonal, EDGE FREE fixed frame screen, featuring EPV's Polar Star, ISF-certified, ambient light rejecting screen material.

The Polar Star eFinity Series features an ultrathin, 0.2 inch, black aluminum bezel to maximize the viewable area for the footprint. The Polar Star surface is designed to work with standard throw projectors, with a 1.5:1 minimum lens throw, to provide superb contrast, color balance, and gain for 2D and 3D presentations. This screen material rejects up to 85% of ambient light for use in environments with minimal light control. The EF158C-PST is assembled using a spring and grommet system for attaching the wraparound tensioned screen material, allowing for a taut, flat surface.

All hardware is included, and the lightweight split-frame design makes for easy shipping and delivery to install sites. An LED backlight kit is provided to add mood lighting. Additionally, a sliding wall bracket is included to ensure proper alignment with your projector.

Polar Star is an angular-reflective, ambient light rejecting material which provides superb contrast levels, amazing color balance, and just the right gain for either a regular 2-dimension or full-immersion 3D presentation. This screen material is ideal for high ambient light conditions in home entertainment and commercial applications. The Silver-grey protective surface coating is a reflective compound that is textured to ensure proper depth for use in 3D presentations.

To obtain ISF certification a projection screen must meet a list of essential ISF qualities such as accurate color fidelity, uniform spectral response, and black level performance.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The photo doesn't match it's description. Is it a pair of coaxial connectors or two pairs?

A: This would be a single input, and a single output.

Q: 2. can you mount this on a wall?

A: This does not have any mounting holes.

Q: 3. Will this work on home stereos and reduce the hiss/hum coming from the speakers when no input is selected just everything powered on. Guessing its from the amplifier. Thanks

A: You can give it a try but more than likely you have other issues (e.g., grounding; interconnection; equipment like your amp) causing the hiss and hum.

Q: 4. can I use a short extension cord between my computer and the input socket of this unit to get around the limited spacing of the outlets? Will the extra cord limit the protection?

A: Yes, you can use an extension cord although I would recommend making sure it is rated to handle the device before using it.

Q: 5. What is the surge protection and other functional difference between this and the PST-6? I want to know if both units offer the same protection agains spikes, surges, lightning etc.

A: They do not offer the same level of protection. The pst6 is NOT simply a pst8 with fewer plugs. The pst8 has Furman’s most robust surge protection technology - the same that it uses on its larger, more expensive offerings. The Furman pst8 is the entry into the top tier protection offering and a great value for what you get. See the Furman site for detailed specs.

Q: 6. how long is the power cable from outlet to unit?

A: The AC power cord on this device is 8ft.

Q: 7. What is the surge suppression joule rating for this equipment?

A: The manufacturer does not have a specific rating, but based on the SMP protection circuitry, it can handle an unlimited amount of surge. Furman's SMP circuit employs a hybrid design utilizing a non-sacrificial, multiple-stage inductance circuit of low-loss series inductors, DC rectifiers, and high voltage shunt capacitors to absorb the vast majority of energy in caused by a surge or spike, as well as a high-current MOV and thermal-fused varistor to reduce the remaining energy to a non-damaging level.

Q: 8. how long is the power cord ?

A: The cable is approximately 8 feet in length.

Q: 9. Can I use it with a voltage of 220 volts?

A: No, the Furman PST-6 B&H # FUPST6 only supports 120V.

Q: 10. How much protection will the PST-8 give against nearby lightning strikes? I know everybody says that nothing can protect against a direct strike, but I'm just wondering how much protection I can expect if there was a strike, say, on the transformer across the street.

A: Unfortunately lighting is not a fixed set amount. It is impossible to say how strong a particular strike will be and how far away will be affected.
