I have a Dalite Highpower 78x139 Cinema Contour 16:9 electric screen which I would like to mask the top foot or so for a 12 foot wide 235:1. Any advise on how I might do this with a way that it could be masked quickly and removed quickly to put the screen back up?

I had a 4x3 electric screen with a similar problem - except I need to mask to both 16x9 and 2.5. I put a thin board covered with black velvet at the top of the screen (just to cover the metal screen housing), covered the weight at the bottom of the screen with black velvet (I didn't like the shiney black metal), then put black velvet behind the screen at the bottom. I could then raise the screen the appropriate amount to yield a 16x9 or 2.5 surface. In a darkened room it looked like masking coming up from the bottom when I raised the screen.


Of course, this is masking the bottom, but it was very effective.
