Da-Lite 133" 29922LS Tensioned Contour Projection Screen Parallax 1.0

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 133" diagonal model (SKU: 29922LS), HDTV 16:9 format, features the Parallax 1.0 ALR surface — an ambient light rejecting surface engineered for standard-throw projectors (1.5:1 or greater throw ratio) in venues with uncontrolled ambient lighting. The Parallax surface structure selectively reflects projector light toward the audience while rejecting off-axis ambient light from windows and overhead fixtures, significantly improving contrast in non-darkened rooms. The TruGuide tensioning system and Smooth Roll Technology maintain a consistently flat, wrinkle-free viewing surface throughout the screen's service life. 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 133" Parallax 1.0 mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing, making it practical for retrofit AV installations and standard commercial construction. The Parallax 1.0 ALR surface is specified for standard-throw projectors operating in spaces with ambient light from windows, overhead fluorescent or LED fixtures, or other uncontrolled sources — it is not intended for ultra-short-throw projectors, which require the Parallax Stratos surface instead. The Silent Drive System keeps motor noise minimal, and the standard 12" black drop provides proper separation at the top of the viewing area. LVC integration supports dry-contact AV control relay connections, with optional Video Projector Interface (VPI) screen trigger available as a factory option. TruGuide tensioning applies uniform tension across the full viewing surface. Smooth Roll Technology prevents surface distortion during retraction. A three-button Decora wall switch is included for standalone operation. The 5-year limited warranty covers all motorized components and screen surface materials.

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 without a recessed housing. For ceiling-recessed installation, see the Tensioned Advantage series at creationnetworks.net.

Q: Is Parallax 1.0 compatible with ultra-short-throw projectors?

A: No. The Parallax 1.0 surface is for standard-throw projectors (1.5:1 or greater throw ratio). For ultra-short-throw projectors, the Parallax Stratos 1.0 surface is required. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net to confirm projector compatibility before ordering.

Q: What makes an ALR surface different from a standard white screen?

A: ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) surfaces use micro-structured optical layers to reflect projector light toward the audience while rejecting off-axis ambient light from overhead fixtures and windows. The result is significantly improved contrast in rooms that cannot be fully darkened.

Q: What control interfaces are available?

A: Standard LVC with a 3-button Decora wall switch is included. Optional Video Projector Interface (VPI screen trigger) is available as a factory option.

Q: Can I add RS-232 control to this model?

A: This 29922LS model includes VPI trigger as the optional control upgrade. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for control system integration questions.
