Discontinued – Draper Acumen E – 90", CinemaScope – 151215ECQ

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen E is a surface-mounted, non-tensioned motorized projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations. This 90" diagonal CinemaScope (2.39:1) model houses a free-hanging viewing surface in a contoured extruded-aluminum case, sized for wide-format front projection in screening rooms and multi-purpose spaces. As a CinemaScope motorized projection screen, it pairs quiet low-voltage operation with floating mounting brackets for straightforward integration. This configuration is discontinued by Draper; contact Creation Networks to confirm current availability, remaining stock, or a suitable replacement from the Acumen line. All units ship at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 7-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen E motorized screen is engineered for integrators specifying a surface-mounted electric screen where a recessed ceiling installation is not practical or desired. The screen surface is a Series E non-tensioned (free-hanging) design, kept flat by the weight of the surface and dowel, and rolls into a streamlined 7-1/8" high by 5-7/8" deep aluminum case finished in white powder coat, with black available on request. This unit is configured in the wide CinemaScope 2.39:1 format for constant-image-height cinema and screening applications. A removable fascia and floating wall and ceiling brackets simplify installation and long-term service in occupied commercial spaces. The internally mounted, instantly reversible motor includes thermal overload protection, an electric brake, and factory-set limits; this unit is configured with the Quiet motor option for noise-sensitive rooms. The standard Acumen E case supports image widths through 10' (305 cm) in 16:9, 16:10, CinemaScope, and other popular formats, and ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch, with additional control options available. Draper offers the Acumen E with the OptiView family of viewing surfaces, so integrators can match gain and ambient-light performance to the room. Because this CinemaScope configuration is discontinued, confirm availability with Creation Networks before specifying it into a project. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this CinemaScope configuration still available?

This specific 90" CinemaScope Acumen E configuration is discontinued by Draper. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net to confirm remaining stock or to identify a current Acumen replacement in the format and size you need.

Is the Acumen E a tensioned or non-tensioned screen?

The Acumen E is a Series E, non-tensioned (free-hanging) screen. The viewing surface hangs flat under the weight of the surface and dowel. If you require a tab-tensioned surface, Draper offers the Acumen V (Series V) as the tensioned counterpart.

Does this screen require a recessed ceiling opening?

No. The Acumen E is surface-mounted and installs directly to a wall or ceiling using the included floating brackets, so no recessed ceiling pocket is required.

What projectors and mounts pair with a CinemaScope screen?

Wide 2.39:1 projection typically uses a projector with an anamorphic lens or a wide native format matched to the screen and throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

How is the screen controlled and integrated into an AV system?

The Acumen E ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch as standard, and additional control options are available to integrate the screen with a room control system for automated raise and lower.

What warranty and support are included?

The Acumen E carries Draper's 7-year warranty (USA and Canada), supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
