Da-Lite 119" Tensioned Contour Projection Screen HD Progressive 1.1

Product Overview

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol is a wall or ceiling-mounted motorized projection screen engineered for commercial AV installations where a ceiling-recessed housing is not required. This 119" diagonal, HDTV 16:9 format screen features the HD Progressive 1.1 surface — a standard-gain, wide-viewing-angle surface compatible with all projector types including 1080p, 4K, and Ultra HD. Designed for conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms, and multipurpose commercial spaces, the Tensioned Contour Electrol delivers reliable large-format projection performance with the installation simplicity of a surface-mount electric screen. The TruGuide tensioning system and Smooth Roll Technology work together to maintain a consistently flat, wrinkle-free viewing surface throughout the screen's service life. The Silent Drive System ensures near-silent motor operation, making it appropriate for acoustically sensitive environments such as boardrooms and house of worship sanctuaries. Standard Low Voltage Control (LVC) simplifies integration with third-party AV control systems, while optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 serial control boards enable deep integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control platforms. A three-button Decora wall switch is included for simple standalone operation. The white powder-coated aluminum housing is standard, with black available on request. The Tensioned Contour is also available in 21:9 Ultra-Wide format for hybrid video conferencing applications — see the Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide series at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 119" mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without requiring a recessed housing, making it a practical choice for retrofit installations and standard commercial construction. The aluminum housing is available in white powder-coat finish as standard, with black available upon request to blend into darker ceiling environments. The Silent Drive System keeps motor noise to a minimum during screen travel — an important consideration for conference rooms and boardrooms where meetings may be in progress during screen deployment. A standard 12" black drop above the viewing area separates the housing from the top edge of the projected image. The LVC system allows integration with any dry-contact AV control relay without running high-voltage wiring to the wall switch location. Optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 boards and the Video Projector Interface (VPI) screen trigger provide additional control pathways for integrated AV environments. The HD Progressive 1.1 surface delivers a gain of 1.1 with a wide horizontal viewing cone, making it suitable for conference rooms where audience members are seated across a broad angle from the screen. The TruGuide tensioning system applies uniform tension across the full viewing area, eliminating the surface ripple and distortion that can appear with untensioned electric screens over time. Smooth Roll Technology prevents surface deformation during the retraction cycle, preserving surface flatness over extended use. The 5-year limited warranty covers all motorized components and screen surface materials.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this screen require a recessed ceiling opening?

A: No. The Tensioned Contour Electrol mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface. It does not require a rough-in recessed housing. For ceiling-recessed installation, see the Tensioned Advantage series at creationnetworks.net.

Q: What control interfaces are available?

A: Standard Low Voltage Control (LVC) with a 3-button Decora wall switch is included. Optional configurations include SCB-100 (RS-232 serial) or SCB-200, and Video Projector Interface (screen trigger input) built into the case for projector-triggered operation.

Q: Is this screen compatible with 4K and UHD projectors?

A: Yes. The HD Progressive 1.1 surface is designed for 1080p, 4K, and Ultra HD projection. The seamless surface and TruGuide tensioning maintain the surface accuracy required for high-resolution digital content at this diagonal size.

Q: What is the standard black drop distance?

A: All Tensioned Contour models ship standard with 12" of black drop above the viewing area. Custom drop distances are available on request.

Q: Can I add RS-232 control after installation?

A: RS-232 control (SCB-100 or SCB-200) must be ordered as a factory-installed option. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net before ordering if RS-232 integration is required.
