All Glass with Black Diamond Zero Edge

NBC series “Open House” features Screen Innovations Black Diamond Zero Edge projection screen in the show’s post-Super Bowl XLVI episode

Designed and installed by The Source Home Theater Installation and Design for NFL star Amani Toomer.

Austin, TX – February 2, 2012 – Screen Innovations (SI), a leading US-based projection screen manufacturer, recently installed their Black Diamond Zero Edge projection screen in NFL star Amani Toomer’s New York City home, a project that will be featured on the NBC show “Open House.” Scheduled to air on NBC immediately following Saturday Night Live on February 4, 2012, and again immediately following Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5, 2012, the episode will also run for three weeks on closed-loop television programming in New York City taxicabs.

In this episode, Screen Innovations dealer Todd Anthony Puma of The Source Home Theater Installation and Design in metro-NY transforms a portion of Amani Toomer’s home into an ideal man cave. Incorporating memorabilia from the NFL star’s storied career, Puma designed the room to be an aesthetically clean yet cozy space for Toomer to unwind with family and friends. The central focus of Toomer’s new man cave is its entertainment system, which is anchored by a 106-inch Screen Innovations Black Diamond Zero Edge projection screen that is backlit by a mirrored LED backlighting kit that intensifies the dynamic output of the screen. The system is made complete by a Wolf SDC-15 projector, Universal Remote Control MX6000 and MRX350 remotes, Marantz UD5005 Blu-Ray, Anthem MRX 700 receiver, Paradigm Studio Reference Series speakers and subwoofer, URC and Lutron lighting/control, Sony PlayStation PS3, Xbox, Nintendo Wii, Apple TV, Panamax Power and Bluebolt, and IXOS and Monster cable and connectors.

“Amani desired a room where he could go to get away from it all. A comfortable den that provides peace and quiet when he needs it, and a vibrant, visually explosive experience for movies and entertaining when he wants it,” said The Source Home Theater Installation and Design President Todd Anthony Puma. “We immediately thought of the Black Diamond Zero Edge screen when we started the design, as it provides an incredible image when on, and a clean, ‘barely-there’ profile when off. It is our ideal go-to projection screen solution.

SI President Ryan Gustafson added, “Black Diamond Zero Edge was designed to blend flawlessly with a room’s décor. Its pencil-thin bezel and thin, yet rigid construction, makes it a great solution for those seeking large-format plasma-like images in either residential or commercial environments. It is an honor to be part of Amani Toomer’s home theater experience.”
