Draper Acumen XL V – 220", HDTV – 155109

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen XL V is a surface-mounted, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen engineered for large venues, with a contoured extruded-aluminum case supporting image widths up to 18' (5.5 m). This 220" diagonal HDTV (16:9) model uses RF-welded tab-tensioning and a tab guide cable system to hold a flat image surface at large scale, making it a fit for auditoriums, houses of worship, and large all-hands spaces. As a large-format projection screen that surface-mounts rather than recessing into the ceiling, it installs on wall or structure without a ceiling cavity. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 7-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen XL V large-format projection screen is specified by integrators building big-image systems in auditoriums, worship venues, and lecture halls where a standard-size electric screen falls short. Each side of the surface uses a tab guide cable system with RF-welded tabs to maintain even lateral tension, and a black extruded-aluminum dowel weights the bottom to hold proper vertical tension, keeping the large image flat corner to corner. The surface rolls onto a 5" (127 mm) metal roller mounted on rubber-insulated supports inside a streamlined extruded-aluminum case finished in white powder coat as standard, with black available on request; the fascia is removable for direct access to the roller and motor during service. The 4-wire motor is instantly reversible and lifetime-lubricated, with an internal thermal overload protector and an electric brake set at the factory. Every Acumen XL V ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch, and the LVC-IV low-voltage control module supports integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and QSC control systems. Both floating wall brackets and ceiling suspension brackets are included for flexible large-format mounting. The screen accepts the full Draper viewing-surface line, including 8K-ready TecVision surfaces and the acoustically transparent ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V for behind-screen loudspeakers. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system. Browse the full Draper projection screen lineup for alternate sizes, formats, and surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large an image does the Acumen XL V support?

The Acumen XL V is a large-format screen with a maximum image width of 18' (5.5 m). This 220" diagonal 16:9 unit is intended for auditoriums, worship venues, and other large rooms where a standard electric screen is not big enough.

Is the Acumen XL V ceiling-recessed?

No. It is surface-mounted. It installs on a wall or structure using the included floating wall brackets or ceiling suspension brackets and does not drop into a recessed ceiling cavity. Because it is heavy and large, confirm that the wall or ceiling structure has adequate strength before installation.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with the Acumen XL V?

It works with commercial front projectors matched to its 220" 16:9 image and the room's throw distance; large venues typically use higher-lumen projectors. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Does this screen integrate with AV control systems?

Yes. It ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch, and the LVC-IV low-voltage control module supports integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, QSC, and similar commercial control platforms for automated raise and lower.

Which viewing surfaces are available?

The Acumen XL V accepts the full Draper viewing-surface line, including 8K-ready TecVision surfaces, Matt White XT1000VB, Grey XH600V, CineFlex, and the acoustically transparent ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V for behind-screen audio. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the surface for this configuration.

What warranty and support are included?
