Draper Profile+ 248" CinemaScope 2.35:1 Grey XH600V – High Contrast Fixed Frame Projection Screen

Product Overview

The Draper Profile+ 248" CinemaScope fixed frame projection screen (part number 254281) delivers a 97" x 228" image in the 2.35:1 ultrawide format with a Grey XH600V contrast-enhancing surface. The pairing suits auditoriums, houses of worship, and briefing centers that run panoramic or multi-window content under partial house lighting, where a high contrast projection screen keeps the image readable. Built on Draper's lightweight Profile+ frame, the screen installs at under 2 inches deep with a borderless or slim bezel finish for a clean front-of-room presentation.

Product Description

The 254281 configures the Profile+ platform in the cinematic 2.35:1 aspect ratio, a format AV system designers use for immersive environmental visuals, blended dual-projector layouts, and side-by-side content windows on a single surface. Its Grey XH600V viewing surface is engineered for moderate to high-output projectors: the grey tint deepens black levels and improves on-screen contrast compared to standard matt white in venues where ambient light is part of the room's normal operating condition. That makes this ultrawide fixed frame projection screen a sound specification for corporate experience centers, worship platforms with stage lighting, and multi-purpose venues that cannot black out the room. The Profile+ frame supports this 19-foot image width while staying lightweight and finishing at less than 2" (51 mm) deep. Order it borderless for an edge-to-edge picture or with a 5/8" (16 mm) bezel trim for a tailored border. The viewing surface attaches with Draper's sliding hook-and-loop system, which tensions the surface evenly across the frame, and the screen ships unassembled so installation crews can move components through stairs, elevators, and corridors before assembly. Wall brackets are included as standard; flown brackets for suspended rigging are available from Draper on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What content works best on a 2.35:1 screen?
Cinematic media, panoramic environmental visuals, and blended or multi-window layouts. Standard 16:9 sources can also be displayed pillarboxed or composited side by side within the wide canvas.

How does the Grey XH600V surface behave with my projector?
It is designed for moderate to high-output projectors; the grey surface trades some brightness for deeper blacks and better perceived contrast, which pays off in rooms that keep ambient light during use.

What is the difference between the 254281 and the 254277SC?
Both are 248" 2.35:1 Profile+ screens. The 254281 uses the Grey XH600V contrast surface, while the 254277SC uses the acoustically transparent ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V surface for behind-screen speaker placement.

Can this screen be flown over a stage?
Yes. The Profile+ supports wall-mount and flown installation; wall brackets are included and flown brackets must be requested from Draper. Mounting fasteners are not included.

What does on-site assembly involve?
The screen ships unassembled. Crews bolt the frame together in the room, attach the surface with the sliding hook-and-loop system, and mount the frame to the wall brackets — routine work for an AV integration team.

Is any control or electrical integration required?
No. A fixed frame screen contains no motors or electronics, so it adds nothing to the control system scope of a commercial deployment.

What warranty applies?
Draper provides a 5-year warranty valid in the United States and Canada, with pre-sale configuration guidance and post-sale support available from Creation Networks.
