We provide service for all large format theaters as 1570 Cinema Services LLC, a company created specifically to provide screen cleaning and repair for all Large Format and 35mm screens and domes.
We have taken the experience learned from years of regular 35mm format screen cleaning to design a system specifically tailored to large format screens and domes. During our 15 years working in the 35mm market, we have cleaned thousands of movie screens across the country.
1570 Cinema Services operates worldwide and are prepared to service your screen or dome in any location, in both 2D and 3D formats.
How We Work
Until now, there has been a gap in the services available to the Large Format industry. Large screens and Domes have rapid dust and contaminate build up just as 35mm screens do. This dust compromises the optical characteristics of your screen and can diminish your screen’s brightness by up to 50%.
Routinely performed at the 35mm level, screen cleaning is proven to make a difference in both screen longevity and image quality.
Large Format Flat Screens
The method for cleaning the screen is the same for every theater but due to differences in how screens are hung and configured, customized rigging is required to position the cleaning device at the top of the screen surface.
Our equipment is designed to be as lightweight as possible, using lightweight fabrics and aluminum, so that it may be easily maneuvered in front of the screen for a more effective clean than other processes attempted by others in the past.
In exploring solutions to clean screens of this size and shape it was decided that the more responsive the equipment, the safer and easier it would be. A device that hangs in front of the screen and moves vertically is the only logical option for a complete clean for Large Format flat screens.
The only real way to clean a screen or dome is from the front viewing side.
The trick to effectively cleaning a screen from the front lies in the ability to remove all the dust in a uniform manner. We use a chemical-free dry cleaning method that employs an extremely soft brush to remove dust and other debris, just as the screen manufacturer recommends.
Our dry cleaning process gently removes screen dust while preserving the screen’s delicate optical finish. Our method cleans every part of the screen four times, thoroughly removing all dust and leaving no streaks.
We perform the cleaning over a 1-2 night period, while your theater is closed, so that showings never have to be canceled for our services.
Large Format Domes
This service has become very popular recently. The reason, we have found, is because domes collect dust at a higher rate than flat screens. The dome itself acts as a filter of the air in the theater due to the location of the air conditioning supply/return air vents. See the “Photos” section to witness the difference our process can make.
1570 has a method of cleaning that is extremely effective and safe to the surface. The same materials are used as in our patent-pending flat screen process. The entire dome is cleaned twice-once with each cleaning head. The first, a lambs-wool material that removes most contaminates and debris, the second a micro-fiber material that catches anything that may have been left behind by the first cleaning head.
Afterwards spot cleaning is done to remove concessions and other foreign objects contaminating the screen not removed by our cleaning heads.
Dome cleanings are also performed at night while your theater is closed and require only one night. Contact us for a list of dome theater references.
