Gerriets’ new front and rear projection screen TRANSMISSION has a gain of 1.13 which makes it excellent for edge blending projection and as a diffusion screen of LED animation style backdrops. Screens are available up to 100 ft. high x virtually any width. Combined TRANSMISSION and ShowLED High Output create dazzling special effects. The new High Output clusters emit up to 12 times more light than standard Animation LEDs. The LEDs are inserted in fabric that can easily be attached to a curtain rail, truss or flying bar. Both products together achieve a special effect, ideal for theater/entertainment and film/TV applications. You don’t need the extra space to illuminate the projection screen as you would with conventional lighting. Just an extra 12” (30 cm) distance behind the diffuser screen is enough to create that spark of magic. TRANSMISSION is flame-proofed to NFPA 701.

The new VARIO ALLROUND was developed in close cooperation with the Gregor Seyffert Dance Company. “Dancing is one of the hardest professions and shortest careers. The profession demands a high level of discipline, motivation and commitment combined with flexibility and creativity. Therefore, dancers need reliable partners who value the hard work you are doing as well as your health and well being. The new Gerriets dance floor, with its extraordinary characteristics, provides more safety and comfort for dancers. Therefore, our primary goal was to reduce the physical strain the members of my company are exposed to. High jumps, joints and ligaments straining acrobatics with different footwear need a high flexible and slip resistant dance floor. Furthermore, it was asked for a floor for touring that adapts easily to any surface. The new dance floor combines all these specifications successfully”, explains Gregor Seyffert.
