Draper Acumen Recharge E Wireless Motorized Projection Screen

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen Recharge E is a battery-powered, wireless, free-hanging electric projection screen that installs like a manual screen — no electrician and no line voltage required. Select your screen size and format from the options above.

Product Description

The Acumen Recharge E brings motorized operation to rooms where running power to the screen position is impractical or expensive. A lithium-ion battery sits inside the roller and charges from a 5V USB wall adapter using the supplied 12-foot cable. The motor is driven by a wireless RF handheld transmitter as standard, with an optional wireless wall switch or dry contact interface where the screen needs to be tied into a control system.

The contoured aluminium case is finished in white and mounts to wall or ceiling using the included floating brackets, which grip the back of the case rather than requiring exact fastener alignment through it. In a retrofit that is usually what decides whether the install takes an afternoon or a day.

Key Features

• No wiring or electrician required — installs like a manual screen, which removes the electrical work from the project entirely.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery — 5V/2A USB charger with a 12-foot cable included.
• Wireless control — RF handheld remote standard; wall switch or dry contact interface optional.
• Floating wall brackets — grip the back of the case, tolerant of imperfect substrate fixings.
• Fifteen sizes and four formats — HDTV 16:9, 16:10 widescreen, CinemaScope and 2K/4K Full.

Choosing a size and format

Match the format to the projector's native aspect ratio rather than to the wall — a 16:9 screen fed by a 16:10 projector throws away vertical resolution, and the reverse letterboxes the image. HDTV 16:9 suits video and streaming content; 16:10 matches most WUXGA and WXGA installation projectors; CinemaScope 2.35:1 is for dedicated screening rooms; 2K/4K Full covers 17:9 digital cinema formats.

Size follows viewing distance and seating layout rather than available wall width. As a working rule, the furthest seat should be no more than six times the image height away, and the nearest no closer than one and a half times.

Typical Applications

• Corporate conference rooms and boardrooms
• Retrofit installations where line voltage is not available at the screen position
• Leased space where permanent electrical work is not permitted
• Houses of worship and training rooms

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this screen need an electrician?
No. The battery charges from a standard USB wall adapter, so the screen installs like a manual one with no line voltage at the screen position.

How long does the battery last between charges?
Runtime depends on screen size and cycles per day. For rooms in daily use, plan on periodic recharging via the supplied 12-foot USB cable.

Can it be controlled from a room control system?
Yes — an optional dry contact interface allows integration with Crestron, Extron, Q-SYS and similar control platforms alongside the standard RF remote.

Can it be mounted to the ceiling as well as the wall?
Yes. The included floating brackets support both, and ceiling mounting is the right choice where a whiteboard or display sits behind the screen position.

Do you provide installation?
Yes. Creation Networks is an authorized Draper dealer and handles screen selection, throw calculation, installation and commissioning nationwide.
