Draper Acumen XL V – 182 3/8", 21:9 Ultrawide – 155120SCQ

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen XL V is a surface-mounted, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen built for large venues and large-format commercial AV installations. This 182 3/8" diagonal 21:9 Ultrawide model pairs a quiet low-voltage motor with a tab-tensioned viewing surface, making it a strong fit for auditoriums, large boardrooms, and multi-purpose rooms that need a very wide, retractable image. As a 21:9 ultrawide large-format motorized projection screen, it retracts fully into a streamlined aluminum case when not in use. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's seven-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen XL V motorized projection screen is built for integrators specifying a surface-mounted large-format electric screen where a recessed ceiling pocket is not available or not desired. The 21:9 ultrawide format suits data walls, dual-source layouts, and panoramic content in large rooms, and the XL V range supports image widths up to 18' (5.5 m). The screen mounts to a wall or ceiling using the included floating mounting brackets, and ceiling suspension brackets are supplied in the same carton for open-structure installs. The tab-tensioned viewing surface uses RF-welded tabs to hold the image flat and wrinkle-free across very wide spans, which matters for edge-to-edge focus with high-resolution and large-venue commercial projectors. The extruded aluminum case measures 9-1/4" high by 8-1/8" deep with a white powder-coat finish as standard, and black is available on request to match darker ceilings. A quiet low-voltage motor is factory-installed with a built-in controller and wall switch, and the removable fascia gives technicians direct access to the roller and motor for service without dismounting the case. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" black drop at the top. The Acumen XL V accepts the full line of Draper viewing surfaces, including 8K-ready TecVision, and rear-projection surfaces are available for specialized layouts. Pair it with a large-venue unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
