Product Overview

All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier tab-tensioned electric screen is engineered for integrators who need a dependable, low-noise motorized screen with a wrinkle-free image in a permanent installation. This unit is configured in the 21:9 ultrawide format at a 104 1/4" diagonal, a wide layout suited to panoramic content, side-by-side sources, and widescreen presentation. The viewing surface is held flat by Draper's factory-set tab-tensioning system, with RF-welded tabs that provide a durable seal and resist separation over years of use. The screen rolls into a pentagonal 22-gauge steel case finished in black plastisol, measuring 5-7/8" high by 5-1/4" deep, with matching endcaps that form universal wall- or ceiling-mounting brackets. A standard 12" black drop at the top of the viewing area positions the image at a comfortable height, and the image area is fully framed in black to sharpen perceived contrast. This configuration ships with Draper's standard 3-position (up/off/down) wall switch; the Premier line also offers Quiet and LVC-IV low-voltage control options for integration with Crestron, AMX, and Extron systems. The UL-listed, instantly reversible motor runs at a low 44 dB, which suits conference rooms and boardrooms where deployment noise matters. This makes the Premier a practical choice for corporate meeting spaces, training rooms, and multi-purpose rooms that need a full-size ultrawide front-projection surface on demand. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
