Draper Premier – 104 1/4", 21:9 Ultrawide – 101814FBQ

Product Overview

The Draper Premier is a tab-tensioned, motorized electric projection screen for permanent commercial AV installations, and this 104 1/4" model is built in the 21:9 ultrawide format for edge-to-edge cinematic and data-visualization content. As a 21:9 motorized projection screen, it drops from a wall- or ceiling-mounted steel case and holds a flat, wrinkle-free image through Draper's tab-tensioning system. It is well suited to conference rooms, boardrooms, and training rooms where an ultrawide aspect ratio and a clean retracted appearance both matter. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier tab-tensioned electric projection screen is engineered for integrators specifying a dependable motorized screen with a consistently flat viewing surface. This unit is configured with the Grey XH600V surface for improved contrast in rooms with some ambient light and includes a factory-installed quiet motor for spaces with stringent acoustic requirements. The screen retracts into a pentagonal steel case with a black plastisol finish (white is optional) and matching endcaps with universal mounting brackets, so it can be surface-mounted to a wall or ceiling. Tab-tensioning with RF-welded tabs keeps the surface taut across its full width, and the RF-welded tabs are warranted against separation and stickiness. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top of the viewing area, and an optional white aluminum ceiling trim kit is available for recessed installation. As a commercial motorized projection screen, the Premier ships standard with a 110-120V three-position control switch and supports additional control options for integration into a larger AV system. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the deployment.
