Hello All,

Can someone explain the diffrent types of port glass on the market and who might do port glass work in Northern California. Im assuming a normal glass shop could do this kind of work but im not sure what kind of glass to ask for. Ive spoken with my tech and he told me to look for a non reflective glass that doesent use any water when its made. But he was still a little iffy on the type. So I thought id speak with you guys.

Thanks for the help.

There is a company that makes projection portholes with optical glass. They make viewing ports, too.

I forgot the name of the company, but they were represented at ShoWest this year.

That was Cinema Products International (CPI).

Thanks for the quick reply Paul. We already have the ports and everything we just need the glass replaced in the frame.
