Marrying state-of-the-art tech and design, SI’s Solo 3 motorized projection screen cassette comes packed with features to simplify installation, enable seamless interoperability and blend into any commercial environment.
Austin, TX (June 6, 2023) — Screen Innovations (SI) understands the complexities professional AV integrators often encounter when installing motorized projection screens in commercial environments. Aesthetics, performance, reliability, longevity, and interoperability all contribute to a successful deployment. With the introduction of its award-winning Solo 3 motorized projection screen cassette, SI addresses all key factors in one compact, design- and installation-friendly solution.
At InfoComm 2023, Booth #1282 SI pairs Solo 3 with an ultra-short-throw, ambient light rejecting screen material. This configuration is well-suited for applications such as corporate boardrooms, higher-ed classrooms, and training facilities where the audience needs light to view reference materials. Attendees can see at Booth #1282 how SI differentiates its Solo 3 cassette and screens through the use of several trend-setting features that lend a clean modern aesthetic, enable reliable performance, streamline installation, and withstand wear and tear in the most challenging of commercial environments.
“We’ve taken the most popular designs and best features of our motorized solutions and applied them to our signature Solo 3 motorized screen assembly,” says SI founder Ryan Gustafson. “Thanks to all the feedback from our dealers and customers, we built in all the features to enable systems integrators to deploy a large-format display solution with ease and efficiency. By pairing the Solo 3 cassette with one of our many screen materials systems integrators can deliver an imaging experience for a wide range of commercial applications.”
Compact, Discreet Footprint Blends into Any Commercial Environment
Featuring a slim, sleek design the Solo 3 is one of the smallest motorized projection screen cassettes in the AV industry, ranging from just under 4 inches to just under 7 inches, depending on the screen size selected. Unlike most other motorized projection screen cassettes, Solo 3 is manufactured as a visually flawless unit with no typical demarcations of the end caps. Units come powder-coated in white, black, or painted to match the surrounding surface, or the entire unit can be installed flush with the ceiling surface by using SI’s innovative suspended ceiling mount with locking zip nuts or tile grid mount. Units come powder-coated in white or black and can be painted to match the surrounding surface.
New Design Features Streamline Installation and Configuration
Thanks to Solo 3’s modular design, the fabric roller tube can be installed separately, making the cassette lighter and easier to handle. A trap door enables quick, easy access to the motor, cabling, projection fabric, control board, and other components. A variety of mounts and power options, including 24-volt and rechargeable lithium battery, deliver even more installation ease, while an internal control board, MOAB (Mother of All Boards). This advanced 485-based control board enables faster programming of setpoints, rotation, and motor reset, automatic discovery and programming of keypads and remotes, and seamless, customizable integration with control systems. Designed and engineered by SI, MOAB features numerous inputs/outputs to support a wide range of 485-based automation and control configurations to quickly commission the screen settings with other devices such as SI keypads. Built into Moab’s eye-catching translucent housing (which may be purchased separately for programming assistance) are 485- and dry contact ports, 12-volt triggers, and IR receivers. All programming can be accomplished directly via Moab without a computer or software.
Trend-Setting Features Lend Longevity and Better Performance
CNC cut tabs are a necessary feature of projection screens to help keep the attached material smooth and taut. Unlike most manufacturers, SI integrates its tabs directly into the screen fabric. This approach prevents the tabs from ever falling off, maintains a clean, smooth, undetectable appearance, and allows the screen to roll up uniformly in the Solo 3 cassette.
SI also prints the black borders of its screens using a micro-thin layer of ink instead of painting them. Unlike paint that can off-gas, smear, crack, and flake off over time, the printed drop and borders stay smooth and beautiful over the life of the screen.
Where to See Screen Innovations at InfoComm 2023
InfoComm 2023 attendees are invited to see SI’s commercial screens solutions and learn how to become an SI dealer in booth #1282. For information on SI’s complete line of smart, stylish screen and shade solutions, please visit www.screeninnovations.com.

Integrated conferencing solutions, high-performance speakers and display furnishings designed to elevate and streamline the workplace will all be front and center at Leon’s InfoComm Booth #3561.
ANN ARBOR, MI (JUNE 5, 2023) ̶ As companies continue balancing the return-to-office wave with a new hybrid communication style, the aesthetics of AV technology are more important than ever. At this year’s InfoComm, Leon Speakers will be showcasing a diverse portfolio of stylish and scalable tech concealment and high-quality audio solutions that complement and enhance the design of any commercial space.
The way we work is changing and people are searching for more when it comes to their workspaces: a little more “home” in the office and a little more “office” at home. Businesses are looking to create inviting, creative, and inspiring environments that authentically attract and retain talent.
How we integrate AV technology, leaning into design-forward tech solutions, is just as important as the rest of the workplace interior in creating a modern, approachable, and elevated environment. Leon’s integrated conferencing solutions, high-performance speakers, and display furnishings—all customizable and at-scale—help businesses to do just that.
Unsightly wiring, boring plastic default display setups, and subpar sound can make even the most intentionally designed work spaces feel uncomfortable and off-brand. Leon’s intuitive, functional, and stylish “resi-mercial” solutions bridge the gap between specifiers, installers, and end-users to bring technology up to the same high standards as the rest of the space.
“People everywhere are seeking workplace environments that they look forward to entering every day,” says Leon founder and president Noah Kaplan. “Our goal is to lead by design and show how important AV and conferencing technology are in creating an attractive and inspiring space. Leon’s solutions are easy to install, and as you enter our booth, you’ll be able to see the instant difference they can make for a space.”
To showcase how to create beautiful teleconferencing spaces for every room type, Leon will display its latest solutions across several vignettes at InfoComm Booth #3561:
Leon’s patented Horizon Interactive FIT combines the high-fidelity audio of the Horizon soundbar series with a sleek mounting bracket designed to house a wide range of conferencing webcams from Poly, Cisco, Logi, Huddly, and more. Each Horizon Interactive FIT is outfitted with a seamless custom grille handcrafted to match the exact width of any display. The perfect solution for any mid-to-large immersive conferencing room that features an ultra-wide display, the Horizon FIT makes any space feel intentional, stylish, and easy-to-use.
Cove by Leon, a personal desktop teleconferencing solution, is designed to support an individual work space in any open-office or hybrid work environment. Cove allows users to focus, connect and get creative with ease. With its flattering natural backlighting, sound-damping felt, and sleek design, Cove represents a new way for workers to look, sound, and feel their best during remote meetings–even in the busiest of shared spaces.
Built to match any display size, Leon’s ToneCase Fit Universal streamlined mounting system is designed to integrate any all-in-one video conferencing soundbar into a huddle or mid-to-large sized conferencing space. Accommodating the most prevalent soundbars on the market, including options by Sonos and Sennheiser, each TcFit-U offers customizable dimensions alongside furniture-grade finishes, custom paint-matching, and the ability to upgrade to one of several designer grille fabric options.
Making its first public debut at InfoComm will be a demonstration of Leon’s groundbreaking Off-Wall Media Frame—a freestanding mounting solution that accommodates a display, soundbar, and teleconferencing technologies for mid-to-large and huddle spaces with glass walls or other environments where wall attachment is not possible.
Built to withstand even the harshest conditions, Leon’s Terra outdoor speaker collection is the perfect complement to any outdoor space. All Terra products offer crystal-clear sound and ultra-durable casing in customizable finishes to match any environment. The new Terra LuminSound collection features integrated up- or down-lighting to illuminate any path, greenery, or architectural elements.
Distributed exclusively by Leon, the LiquidView Virtual Window provides stunning 24-hour, 8K-resolution views of beautiful locations all over the world—synced to a specified location and time of day. Now, any room can have an award-winning view with Virtual Window’s Single Window and Panorama options.

Enabling remarkable installation ease and flexibility, DP’s HIGHlite Satellite Modular Laser System (MLS) projection system a bona-fide game-changer in the commercial AV marketplace.
(Kennesaw, Georgia) May 24, 2023 – Digital Projection streamlines the deployment of high-quality projection systems for integrators with the InfoComm 2023 debut of its award-winning HIGHlite 4K UHD Reference Satellite Modular Laser System (MLS) projection system. InfoComm 2023 attendees can witness the incredible installation flexibility afforded by the HIGHlite Satellite MLS affords at Booth #3029.
Key to enabling quicker, easier installation, particularly in tight, cramped spaces, is the separation of the projector head from the pure RGB light laser source. The modular configuration results in a projector chassis that’s significantly smaller and lighter than other premium 3-chip DLP projectors. It weighs just 42 pounds, compared to the 120 pounds of most other projectors, and its overall footprint is 83% smaller than its original integrated design. Connected to the projector head via robust, flexible fiber optic cables, the modular light source can be located as far as 330 feet away where its noise and heat won’t interfere with the viewing experience. Keeping the projector chassis and light engine separate also enables greater customization and simplifies upgrades and maintenance.
“One of the overarching tenets at DP is to develop the types of imaging products that help dealers expand into new markets and build business. The introduction of our HIGHlite Satellite Modular Laser System is a reflection of this commitment,” says DP Vice President of Sales Chuck Collins. “It can fit into places that traditional large, heavy premium projectors can’t so dealers can commission projects they might have otherwise turned down due to the significant amount of time and labor it would have taken to complete. With the HIGHlite Satellite Modular Laser System they can get in and out of even the most challenging jobs faster and with less manpower and move on to the next project.”
The compact and lightweight design of DP’s HIGHlite Reference Satellite MLS compromises none of its performance features, as the system produces REC2020 colorimetry and powerfully bright illumination up to 10,000 lumens (the WUXGA version reaches 20,000 lumens and supports two modular light sources). This family of modular projection systems offers integrators and system designers more flexibility and options to deploy advanced visual solutions in unique commercial projects while making high-end RGB laser illumination accessible at a cost-effective price point.
Where to See DP’s New HIGHlite Satellite MLS Projection System
InfoComm 2023 attendees can see DP’s revolutionary HIGHlite Satellite MLS projection system, as well as new laser projectors and LED displays at Booth #3029.
