The deployment of the Clarus XC 270 3D screens will enable guests to experience 4th generation screens which will provide wide viewing angle, greater uniformity, improved color and contrast during both 2D and 3D screenings.
Designed to work with all passive 3D systems and approved by 3D manufacturers Clarus XC screens create visibly deeper 3D content which is designed to draw in the audience creating a more captivating viewing experience.
