My Center Stage XD material arrived today. I did the following to convert my Elunevision screen to an AT screen:
1. Removed the fabric from the frame.
2. Took the frame apart so that I could remove the screen tension screws.
3. Screwed (cut to fit) 1-1/2" "Screen Tight" to the back side of the frame.
4. Angled 10' long x 8' high XD fabric onto my 106" 16/9 frame.
5. Attached screen to frame using 1/8" screen bead.
6. Attached "Screen Tight" cap and cut off excess fabric.
7. Hung frame back on wall.
Real easy transformation. Only took me about 2-1/2 hours.

Easy to convert any Aluminum frame for spline fit of fabric. I would probably use this method if I was building a frame from wood. When you snap the cap onto the "Screen Tight" base it holds the fabric tight to the back side of the frame. My splined material fits tighter to the back of the frame than the original fastening system that Elunevision used. Picture quality is very good. No moire either. Love having the voices coming from the screen rather than below the screen. Highly recommend this type of install.
