Draper Access E – 184", HDTV – 139034SA

Product Overview

The Draper Access E is a large, electric 184-inch ceiling-recessed projection screen for concealed commercial AV installations. This 184" diagonal HDTV (16:9) model recesses into the ceiling and lowers a free-hanging widescreen surface, making it a fit for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and large conference spaces. Built on Draper's non-tensioned Series E platform, it holds a flat image through the weight of the surface and a bottom dowel rather than tab-tensioning. This unit ships with the standard 110V motor and 3-position control switch.

Product Description

The Draper Access E electric projection screen is specified by integrators outfitting larger rooms with a concealed, widescreen front-projection surface. As a ceiling-recessed motorized screen, the case installs into the ceiling with a trim flange so nothing shows once the 16:9 surface retracts. Because this is a Series E free-hanging screen, the viewing surface is non-tensioned and hangs flat under its own weight and the bottom dowel, keeping the roller mechanism simple to service in demanding commercial deployments. The case can be mounted during construction and wired with quick-connect wiring so the viewing surface is added later to avoid job-site damage. A detachable bottom access panel opens for service and maintenance without pulling the case from the ceiling, and sliding brackets on top of and inside the case let the installer adjust alignment and fit different screen sizes. The white case is standard, with black available on request, and maximum image width on the model reaches 16' (488 cm) depending on surface selection. This configuration uses the standard 110V motor with a 3-position switch, and Quiet, low-voltage, and 220V options are available for integration with third-party control systems such as Crestron and Control4. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket or lift from our projector mounts and lifts collection.
