One of the solutions used was to suspend the screen on hinges. The whole unit can then be swung into the wall when not required. Project Audio Visual installed another ECT screen into a church, making it the centre backdrop. A remote control unit allowed the screen to be slip quietly out of sight, returning the building to its original serenity.
The increase in demand for projection screens in religious settings has been put down to the fact that people are looking for entertainment, even when fulfilling their spiritual need. Special events have traditionally seen hired projection screens used. However, the custom screens can be made to fit into any church nook or cranny, and hinges allow it to be swung back out of the way when not required.
