Draper Paragon V – 30', NTSC – 114611CD

Product Overview

The Draper Paragon V is Draper's largest electric, tab-tensioned projection screen, built for auditoriums and other large venues that need a perfectly flat image on a very wide surface. This 30' diagonal NTSC (4:3) configuration reaches the model's full image width and pairs a heavy-duty motor with a CineFlex rear-projection surface. As a large-format tab-tensioned projection screen, the Paragon V holds the viewing surface flat with RF-welded tabs so the picture stays geometrically accurate across the entire span. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Paragon V tab-tensioned projection screen is specified for permanent installations in auditoriums, performing arts centers, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose rooms where image size and flatness are critical. Its Series V tab-tensioning system uses RF-welded tabs along both edges to keep the surface taut and wrinkle-free, and the RF weld provides a durable seal that resists separation over years of cycling. The screen is housed in an extruded aluminum case with a white finish that can be suspended anywhere or recessed into a finished ceiling with an optional trim flange kit, and a bottom closure panel simplifies maintenance access. An insulated, lifetime-lubricated motor mounts inside the roller for quiet, instantly reversible operation, with thermal overload protection and a mechanical brake for reliable stops. This unit is configured with a CineFlex rear-projection surface, making it suitable for rear-projection theaters and stage designs where the projector sits behind the screen. With a maximum image width up to 24' (732 cm), the Paragon V handles the widest specifications in Draper's motorized lineup. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and hardware from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does tab-tensioning do on the Paragon V?

The Series V tab-tensioning system uses RF-welded tabs along both edges to hold the viewing surface flat and taut. This keeps the projected image geometrically accurate and free of waves or curl across the full 24' maximum width, which is essential for large-venue image quality.

Is this configuration for front or rear projection?

This unit is configured with a CineFlex rear-projection surface, so the projector is positioned behind the screen. Contact us if you need a front-projection surface option on the Paragon V for your venue.

How is a screen this large installed?

The extruded aluminum case can be suspended from structure or recessed into a finished ceiling with an optional trim flange kit, and a bottom closure panel provides maintenance access. Because of its size and weight, the Paragon V is a freight item that typically requires a rigging and installation crew; contact us for site planning.

Which projectors are compatible with the Paragon V?

Any commercial projector matched to the 30' 4:3 image and your venue's throw geometry will work. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Can the screen integrate with an AV control system?

Yes. It includes a 110V three-position switch, and Draper offers low-voltage modules and controls, plus 220V operation, so the screen can be triggered from projector, lighting, and room-automation systems.

What warranty and support are included?

The Paragon V carries Draper's 5-year manufacturer warranty, supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help, freight coordination, and post-sale support.
