Da-Lite DL15732L 174" Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide Projection Screen (HD Progressive 1.1 Perf)

Product Overview

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide is a wall or ceiling-mounted motorized projection screen in 21:9 format, purpose-built for hybrid video conferencing environments. This 174" diagonal model (DL15732L) features the HD Progressive 1.1 Perf surface — an acoustically transparent perforation pattern that allows loudspeakers to be positioned behind the screen surface, enabling optimal speaker placement for reinforcement systems in large conference rooms and boardrooms. At 21:9 format, the screen delivers a unified panoramic display of remote participants, shared content, and in-room camera feeds. The TruGuide tensioning system and Smooth Roll Technology maintain a consistently flat surface throughout the product's service life. The Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide is also available in 16:9 HDTV format — see the Tensioned Contour Electrol series at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide 174" DL15732L mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing. The HD Progressive 1.1 Perf surface provides the same standard-gain, wide-angle performance as the non-perforated HD Progressive 1.1 surface but adds acoustic transparency — allowing sound from speakers placed behind the screen to pass through with minimal loss. This eliminates the need to position loudspeakers at the sides of the screen in large conference rooms, enabling a more natural front-stage sound system design. The Silent Drive System minimizes motor noise. Standard LVC with a three-button Decora wall switch is included. Optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 serial control boards and Video Projector Interface are available as factory options. TruGuide tensioning applies uniform tension across the full ultra-wide surface. 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 Ultra-Wide mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for recessed installation alternatives.

Q: How much audio loss occurs through the perforated surface?

A: The perforation pattern in the HD Progressive 1.1 Perf surface is engineered to minimize acoustic loss while maintaining projection performance. For specific insertion loss values, consult the Da-Lite product data sheet or contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Q: Is the perforated surface compatible with 4K projectors?

A: Yes. The perforation density in the HD Progressive 1.1 Perf surface is below the resolution threshold of current 4K/UHD projectors at normal viewing distances.

Q: What control interfaces are available?

A: Standard LVC with a 3-button Decora wall switch is included. Optional SCB-100, SCB-200 RS-232, and VPI trigger are factory-installed options.

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

A: RS-232 control must be factory-installed. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net before ordering.
