Director's Choice

Four-Way, Continuously Variable Masking Screen System

The ultimate integration of the world’s finest screen material and the most precise masking system

Director's Choice is the pinnacle statement for cinema presentation. Four, individually motorized masking panels move flawlessly across the screen as directed by the supplied digital system controller, or via interface with a third party control system of your choice. Any aspect ratio can be stored at any scale via independently joggable masking fabrics. You can specify any aspect ratio as the native "all open" image area and exactly pair the screen to your choice of projector. Any Stewart front projection 16K+ screen fabric can be selected as well as MicroPerf X² THX Ultra for sound transparency. The fascia is finished in a luxurious black Velux covering, and all masking fabric options have been carefully sourced to complete this stunning machine.

There’s a reason why this screen is such a big seller

Custom built by our experienced craftsmen in Torrance CA, and hands down, the best masking system that money can buy. This precision screen is perfect in every way, enabling viewing in any aspect ratio — as small as 84 by 96 inches and scaling up to a huge 168 ½ by 300 inches. The Director’s Choice screen system provides flexibility in meeting all content requirements and can be preprogrammed with all of your favorite aspect ratios.

Director’s Choice EVO – reduced border, bigger image, stunning experience

A true game changer, now with a 6.5 inch border, D.C. EVO features a 30% bigger on-screen image. D.C. EVO’s unmatched engineering and superb build-quality also boasts a magnetic, removable fascia to gain quick access to the screen assembly. Further complimented by Stewart’s choice of reference screen materials including SnoMatte 100, StudioTek 100, StudioTek 130 G4, and FireHawk G5, D.C. EVO is now available in sizes up to 96 inches by 192 inches— a 215 inch diagonal! D.C. EVO continues to evolve the cinema experience with innovative engineering and precision manufacturing from start to finish.

Pixel for pixel perfection in any aspect ratio

The Director's Choice screen allows you to present content at the scale that looks best. The 4-way masking will follow your intention perfectly. If you have a classic film in Scope that looks grainy when displayed in full width, you can bring it down and matte it at a size that works well visually. Critical decisions in content are always made in pixel-for-pixel resolution. Director's Choice guarantees that your screen is properly formatted no matter what. And with frame depths from 17 inches to 11 inches, Director’s Choice accommodates the dimensions of each venue.

Creating durable assets for the life of the building

The Director's Choice is made of the finest materials available and built to the highest standards of quality. From our acoustically transparent masking panels and the aircraft grade aluminum we use in the framing, to our meticulous attachment of our 16K+ screen materials to the frame, no other screen company builds to the exacting quality of Stewart.

Reference quality 16K+ screen materials live here

Why not show a film on the exact same surface that was used when the studio edited the film? Director's Choice gives you that exact option. SnoMatte 100, often combined with MicroPerf X² THX Ultra, are ubiquitous reference surfaces present in a majority of the post-production studio suites worldwide. Why? Because our fabric shows the picture with extreme fidelity, including center to edge uniformity and amazing color accuracy.
