Draper Access V – 137", 16:10 – 140082FB

Product Overview

The Draper Access V is an electric, ceiling-recessed, tab-tensioned projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations that demand a perfectly flat image with the screen concealed above the ceiling. This 137" diagonal 16:10 model uses the OptiFlex Grey XH600V surface, a 0.6-gain grey material that enhances contrast and black levels in rooms with some ambient light. As a Series V screen, the surface is tab-tensioned along both edges to stay flat and wrinkle-free at large sizes. Supplied with a 220 V motor, all units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Access V tab-tensioned projection screen is engineered for integrators who need a concealed, ceiling-recessed image surface that stays flat across a wide 16:10 format. The steel case measures 7-3/8" high by 8-1/16" deep (19 cm x 20 cm) including the trim flange and installs above the ceiling line, leaving only a narrow closure visible when the screen is retracted. The tab-tensioning system holds the viewing surface taut on both sides, eliminating the waviness that can appear on free-hanging screens at this size, and the image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top for flexible mounting height. This configuration pairs the Grey XH600V surface, a smooth grey OptiFlex material with 0.6 gain and a wide viewing cone that improves perceived contrast where ambient light cannot be fully controlled. A detachable bottom access panel provides service access with no visible fasteners, and quick-connect wiring lets the case be installed early in construction with the screen added later. The case is plenum-rated for installation in commercial return-air plenums, and the assembly is UL Listed. Low-voltage, video-interface, and third-party control options integrate with systems such as Crestron and Control4. This makes the Access V a strong fit for boardrooms, higher-education classrooms, and training rooms that need a large, flat, commercial-grade motorized image. 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

What does tab-tensioning provide on the Access V?

The Access V is a Draper Series V tab-tensioned screen. The viewing surface is held taut along both vertical edges so it stays flat and wrinkle-free, which is important for maintaining geometry and focus uniformity at larger sizes like this 137" model.

Why choose the Grey XH600V surface?

The grey XH600V surface has 0.6 gain and improves perceived contrast and black levels compared with matt white, so it performs better in rooms with some ambient light. It is not an ambient-light-rejecting surface, so reasonable light control is still recommended.

Can the case be installed in a return-air plenum?

Yes. The steel case is plenum-rated for use in air-handling spaces, so it can be installed in the return-air plenums common above commercial ceilings. The full assembly is UL Listed.

Does the Access V integrate with control systems?

Yes. Low-voltage, video-interface, and other control options are available, and the screen works with third-party control systems including Crestron and Control4. Contact us to confirm the right control method for your installation.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with the Access V?

It works with any commercial front projector matched to its 137" 16:10 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

What warranty and support are included?

The Access V carries Draper's standard 5-year manufacturer warranty, supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
