USL, Inc. is pleased to announce its latest innovation. The LSS-100 Projection and Audio Analyzer was formally introduced at CineEurope 2012. The LSS-100 allows theater owners to continuously monitor on-screen technical performance to ensure the highest presentation quality.

This small compact unit can be easily installed and is designed to continuously measure screen luminance, color accuracy and sound levels to maintain the best possible experience for the audience. The wall-mounted LSS-100 features a microphone that measures the sound pressure level (SPL) from loudspeakers as it simultaneously monitors the quality of light reflected from the theater screen. In addition, the LSS-100 is a fully networked unit, making it possible for theater owners to monitor auditoriums continuously from a Network Operation Center (NOC) located anywhere in the world.

"We decided to build on the success of our PSA light and PCA color meters to create an automated way to ensure excellent picture quality," explained Jack Cashin, USL, Inc.'s founder, president and chief technical designer. "Taking it one step beyond our competitors, we added the ability to measure SPL at the same time." Cashin further stated, "The LSS-100 is fully networked, providing instantaneous monitoring of luminance, chromaticity, and SPL data."

"We are excited to demonstrate our latest innovation that allows exhibitors to understand how each auditorium is performing on a global level with projection and sound," Cashin added.
