Global Truss Video Screen/Back Drop - Stretch Lycra Screen for Truss

In this review the Global Truss Video Screen/Back Drop is evaluated for event producers and AV rental houses who need a clean, stretch white surface that mounts quickly to truss systems. The bottom line is that this screen delivers a simple, durable projection surface that integrates with existing truss or arch systems and covers a useful range of sizes; its biggest selling point is the high-quality 4-way stretch Lycra that yields a smooth, seamless surface for video and ambient lighting. For teams needing a reliable, easy-to-fit backdrop, this model is a practical choice.

Key Features

• 4-way stretch Lycra: Produces a smooth, wrinkle-resistant surface that helps images and stage lighting appear even and consistent.
• Adjustable sizing: The material accommodates widths from about 8 ft to 12 ft and heights around 8 ft to 10 ft, giving flexibility for different truss setups.
• Simple attachment: Secures with bungee straps so crews can mount or remove the screen quickly on truss or other anchor points.
• White projection surface: The neutral white color works well for video projection and stage backdrops where color fidelity and brightness matter.
• Designed for truss systems: Specifically made to pair with truss and arch systems, ensuring compatibility with common event structures.

Who It's For

The Global Truss Video Screen is ideal for event professionals, small production companies, and AV rental services that already use truss or arch systems and need a dependable projection surface that installs fast. Its stretch Lycra surface makes it particularly useful for shows where a seamless, low-reflectance white backdrop is required for video mapping, projection, or stage visuals.

It may be less suitable for permanent fixed installations or situations requiring precision tension frames and hard projection surfaces; for those cases a rigid screen or framed projection surface might be a better choice. Likewise, if absolute blackout or very high-gain projection is needed, specialized screens should be considered instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 4-way stretch Lycra gives a clean, wrinkle-resistant projection surface.

• Bungee strap attachment speeds setup and teardown for rental and event crews.

Cons

• As a fabric screen it does not offer the rigidity or specialized reflectivity of framed or high-gain projection screens.
