Gerriets' new UltraBrite Projection Fabric debuted at this year's United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) conference in St. Louis. The seamless 140' wide by 13' high projection surface was placed at the entrance to the expo hall. Wladimiro A. Woyno R., a Yale University Graduate Student, designed the projections with vibrant textures reminiscent of circuit boards and animations evoking Broadway hits. These were mapped across seven projectors over the 140' wide fabric.
UltraBrite's standard 16'-5” width and 164' bolt length is designed for a seamless viewing experience without compromising quality, brightness or budget. The fabric's tight weave and slight sheen is designed to yield crisp image clarity across a wide viewing cone and to be a cost effective front projection surface for close up viewing of large seamless expanses. It also has rear projection capabilities for large light washes. The fabric is designed to be easy to handle and allow wrinkles to fall out with once hung and stretched. The fabric can be cut onsite and stretched with Gerriets EasyFix fabric fasteners, without the need of webbing and grommets. Available as raw material or custom sewn to size, UltraBrite is flame-retardant to NFPA 701 standards as well as other European standards. It is now in stock and ships folded or rolled from the company's Ewing, New Jersey, warehouse.
