Draper Access XL V – 250", NTSC – 147011

Product Overview

The Draper Access XL V is a large-format, ceiling-recessed, tab-tensioned projection screen built for major venues where a big image and a concealed installation are both required. This 250" NTSC (4:3) model retracts fully into its ceiling case, making it a practical large-format ceiling-recessed projection screen for ballrooms, conference centers, auditoriums, and large university classrooms. As a motorized, tab-tensioned projection screen, it holds a flat viewing surface across a wide image for accurate, distortion-free projection in high-attendance rooms. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Access XL V large-venue projection screen extends the Access platform to expansive image sizes while keeping the same discreet, ceiling-recessed integration. The case measures 10-1/8" high x 9-7/16" deep (26 cm x 24 cm) including the trim flange, and supports image widths up to 18' (549 cm), with this unit configured at a 250" NTSC diagonal. The case can be installed during the building phase and the screen added later to reduce the risk of job-site damage, and the screen is fully concealed when retracted for a clean ceiling line. The tab-tensioned design uses RF-welded tabs that eliminate stickiness and tab separation and are warranted against separation for five years, holding the large surface flat and wrinkle-free for a commercial-grade image. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top, and a detachable bottom access panel allows service and maintenance from below the ceiling. This configuration ships with a standard 110V motor and 3-position switch, with low-voltage LVC-IV and 220V options available for integration with third-party control systems such as Crestron and Control4. Pair it with a unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket or lift from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
