Draper Access XL E – 270", HDTV – 146011

Product Overview

The Draper Access XL E is a large-format, ceiling-recessed motorized projection screen built for large venues where the image surface must be fully concealed above a finished ceiling. This 270" diagonal HDTV (16:9) model uses a free-hanging, self-supporting surface driven by a standard 110 V motor. As a large-format projection screen from Draper's Access XL series, it delivers big-image front projection for auditoriums, multi-purpose rooms, and all-hands spaces. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Access XL E large-format projection screen is specified by integrators who need a concealed, motorized front-projection surface at very large image sizes. This unit is configured with the Matt White XT1000E surface, a reference matt white surface with neutral color rendition and a wide viewing angle, in a 270" 16:9 format on a standard 110 V motor with a 3-position switch. Unlike the tab-tensioned Access XL V, the Access XL E is a free-hanging, self-supporting design, which keeps the mechanism simple across large widths. The case installs during the building phase and the screen can be added later to reduce the risk of jobsite damage, and when retracted the screen is completely hidden for a clean ceiling appearance. A detachable bottom access panel provides service access, sliding brackets inside and on top of the case handle alignment, and adjustable hoisting brackets ease lifting of the large assembly during installation. Quiet, low-voltage (LVC-IV), and 220 V motor options are available if control-system integration or automated operation is required. Pair it with a high-output unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Access XL E tab-tensioned?

No. The Access XL E is a free-hanging, self-supporting (non-tensioned) screen. If you require tab-tensioning at large image sizes for maximum flatness, specify the Access XL V instead, which uses RF-welded tab-tensioning.

Can this unit be automated or tied into a control system?

This configuration ships with the standard 110 V motor and 3-position switch. Quiet, low-voltage (LVC-IV), and 220 V motor options are available if you need automated up/down control from a Crestron, Control4, or similar system. Contact us to configure the right motor and controller.

How is a large-format Access XL E installed?

The case is ceiling-recessed and can be installed during the building phase, with the screen added later to reduce jobsite damage. Sliding and adjustable hoisting brackets assist with lifting and aligning the large assembly, and a bottom access panel allows service.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

The Access XL E works with high-output commercial projectors matched to its 270" 16:9 format and the venue's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Why the Matt White XT1000E surface?

Matt White XT1000E is a reference matt white surface with neutral color rendition and a wide viewing angle, well suited to large rooms with controlled lighting and wide seating layouts.
