With a myriad of customisation, integration, and installation options, its new line of design-centred motorised projection screen cassettes blends into the surrounding environment so well that they go virtually unnoticed. 

The clean, sharp lines of the self-contained cassette reflect today's architectural trends, nodding to contemporary and minimalist interiors. Unlike most other motorised projection screen cassettes, Solo 3 is manufactured as one seamless unit with no visual demarcation of the end caps. Units come powder-coated in white or black and can be painted to match the surrounding surface. Alternatively, when mounted above the ceiling, the entire cassette vanishes. The new Solo 3 replaces SI's legacy 3 and 5 Series motorized projection screen products.

Built into Solo 3 is a new, intelligent brain called Moab. 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, customisable 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 synchronise screen settings with other smart devices quickly.

The eye-catching translucent housing offers 485- and dry contact ports, 12-volt triggers, and IR receivers. All programming can be accomplished directly via Moab without a computer or software. Although Moab resides inside the Solo 3 cassette, installers can easily access it and Solo 3's internal motor, cabling, and screen material via a uniquely designed removable fascia. Even when the Solo 3 cassette is mounted, Installers can get to the internal elements to quickly program, level the projection fabric, and readjust settings, for example.

Solo 3 accommodates many SI projection screen materials, including short-throw screen material for small spaces, ambient light rejecting materials for rooms with abundant natural and artificial light, acoustically transparent screens for concealing speakers, and twin-view to double screen use by utilising both sides of the material.

Rechargeable lithium battery-powered cassettes are also available for outdoor applications, where running wires is more challenging. These wireless options can be charged manually or draw power from the sun. The solar-powered Solo 3 cassette brings a sustainable, environmental option to the lineup.
