Da-Lite 159" Tensioned Contour Projection Screen HD Progressiv...
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 159" 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. The 139"x78" viewable area delivers large-format impact for auditoriums, large conference rooms, and training facilities. The TruGuide tensioning system and Smooth Roll Technology maintain a consistently flat, wrinkle-free surface throughout the screen's service life. Optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 serial control boards enable integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control platforms. The Tensioned Contour is also available in 21:9 Ultra-Wide format for hybrid video conferencing — see the Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide series at creationnetworks.net.
Product Description
The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 159" HD Progressive 1.1 mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing, making it practical for large-format AV installations in standard commercial construction. The HD Progressive 1.1 surface provides a gain of 1.1 with a wide horizontal viewing cone, ensuring consistent image brightness across the full audience seating area in large rooms. The Silent Drive System minimizes motor noise, and the standard 12" black drop provides proper visual separation at the top of the viewing area. LVC integration supports dry-contact AV relay connections for control system integration, with optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 boards and Video Projector Interface available as factory options. TruGuide tensioning applies uniform tension across the full 139"x78" surface. Smooth Roll Technology prevents surface distortion during retraction cycles. A three-button Decora wall switch is included for standalone operation. The 5-year limited warranty covers all motorized components and screen surface materials.
