Draper Access XL V – 255", 16:10 – 147007U

Product Overview

The Draper Access XL V is a ceiling-recessed, tab-tensioned electric screen for major venues, and this 255" diagonal 16:10 unit is a large-format projection screen for ballrooms, conference centers, and large lecture halls. It retracts fully into its case for a clean ceiling line when idle, then deploys a flat, tab-tensioned image on demand using the Matt White XT1000VB surface. This unit ships with Draper's low voltage LVC-IV motor for controlled operation and AV control-system integration. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Access XL V ceiling-recessed projection screen brings the concealed, install-during-construction Access platform to large-venue image sizes. Its steel case measures 10-1/8" high x 9-7/16" deep (26 cm x 24 cm) including the trim flange, with sliding brackets on top for unlimited mounting adjustment and internal sliding brackets that accommodate the screen assembly. Maximum image width for the model is 18' (549 cm); this 255" 16:10 unit is a true large-format screen for wide presentation spaces. This configuration runs the Matt White XT1000VB surface, a unity-gain (1.0) matt white material that reflects a uniformly bright image across a full 180° viewing cone with typical contrast; it includes black backing and is GREENGUARD Gold certified. The tab-tensioned design holds the surface flat across the full width for a wrinkle-free image, and Draper's RF-welded tabs eliminate stickiness and tab separation — warranted against separation for five years. The image area is framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top for correct projector alignment. Adjustable or removable hoisting brackets ease lifting this large case into place, and a detachable bottom access panel allows service without removing the case from the ceiling. This unit ships with the low voltage LVC-IV motor (SKU suffix U) on a 110V supply. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the large-venue system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large a room does this 255" screen suit?

The Access XL V is a large-format model with a maximum image width of 18' (549 cm). This 255" 16:10 size is intended for major venues such as ballrooms, conference centers, and auditoriums with deep seating.

What are the optical characteristics of the Matt White XT1000VB surface?

It is a unity-gain (1.0) matt white surface with a full 180° viewing cone and typical contrast. It reflects a uniformly bright image with accurate color, includes black backing, and is GREENGUARD Gold certified. It performs best where ambient light is reasonably controlled.

What does the "U" in SKU 147007U indicate?

The U suffix indicates Draper's low voltage LVC-IV motor on a 110V supply, which provides controlled operation and integrates with AV control systems for automated screen deployment.

How durable are the tab-tensioning tabs at this size?

The tabs are RF-welded to eliminate stickiness and separation, and Draper warrants them against separation for five years, which matters for a large screen that must stay flat across its full width.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with this screen?

Use a commercial front projector matched to the 255" 16:10 format and the room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.
