The advantages of rear-projection systems are well known: Outstanding image quality, better performance under high ambient lighting, no noisy projector directly overhead, wider viewing angles, and the list goes on. Compared to front-projection systems and even plasma displays, rear-projection (RP) systems have a lot to offer. They are often the best solution for a wide variety of display applications, from boardrooms to NASA control rooms.

The one drawback has been that RP systems usually involve costly construction to create a rear-projection room, forcing those on a budget to settle for something less. Spectrum Video's RETROLITE® solves this problem. It is a stand-alone display, with a 72" diagonal image. Originally designed for trade-show use, this portable unit has found a home in many spaces where rear-projection was desired, but facility modification was not an option.

Here are a few key benefits that have helped our clients decide on the RETROLITE®:

  • Sets up in 30 minutes (minimal disruption during install)
  • Can be relocated along with staff (your investment goes with you if you move)
  • No "facilities costs" (money saved can buy document cameras, PCs, etc.)
  • Portability (Can be taken to trade shows or other events)
  • Larger and better image (bigger than plasma, brighter than front projection)
  • No construction required to Historic Landmark (USMC Museum, San Diego)
  • Excellent image quality at all angles (no bad seats)
  • Removable projector (LCD projection engine can do double duty)
  • Excels at high-res imaging (perfect for mapping, EOCs, command/control)
Who's using RETROLITEs®? Microsoft. TRW. SPAWAR Systems Center. U.S. Marine Corps. SBS Technologies. City of Los Angeles Emergency Operations Center. And the list is growing!

What makes it so light? CoreLite!

The RETROLITE® employs several breakthrough innovations. Its panels are made of CoreLite, created by Spectrum Video, Inc. Through a proprietary manufacturing process materials are fused under three tons of pressure to become CoreLite composite. Available in thousands of finishes, CoreLite is a scratch resistant, flame resistant, breakproof miracle material that is hard as a rock yet feather light. CoreLite in Black Oxide finish is the default panel selection included with every RETROLITE®. CoreLite is also available to designers as a building material on an OEM basis.

The RETROLITE® is simply the best solution for many applications. If you need a versatile system for Powerpoint, video, or high-resolution graphics, no other display solution even comes close!

The RETROLITE® has been making a name for itself for several years now, in everything from trade shows for Microsoft to installed systems for the US Navy. Things just keep getting better. As technology has advanced, so has the "RETRO." Current models are up to 3,500 ANSI Lumens of brightness. Forget about plasma screens, it's simply no competition!
