Draper Premier – 123", 16:10 – 101640CBQU

Product Overview

The Draper Premier is an electric, tab-tensioned projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations that need a perfectly flat image from a motorized ceiling- or wall-mounted screen. This 123" 16:10 widescreen model pairs a steel case with RF-welded tensioning tabs and is configured with a quiet motor plus an LVC-IV low-voltage controller for clean integration into AV control systems. As a 123-inch motorized projection screen, it holds the viewing surface flat and wrinkle-free for accurate, distortion-free front projection in conference rooms, boardrooms, and training rooms. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier electric screen is engineered for integrators specifying a motorized, tab-tensioned image surface in a durable one-piece steel case finished in black plastisol, with white available as an option. Tab-tensioning uses RF-welded tabs along both edges to keep the surface taut and perfectly flat, eliminating the curl and edge waves common to free-hanging screens and delivering a clean picture for front projection. Matching endcaps form universal wall- or ceiling-mounting brackets so the same unit fits most commercial mounting scenarios, and a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top of the viewing area sets the image at the correct height for the room. This unit's QU configuration combines a quiet motor to reduce operating noise in acoustically sensitive rooms with an LVC-IV low-voltage controller, allowing the screen to be triggered from a control processor, low-voltage switches, or building-automation contacts rather than only a line-voltage switch. The 16:10 widescreen format suits native-resolution computer and presentation content in corporate and higher-education rooms. The Premier supports a maximum image width up to 12' (366 cm); for wider images, the Premier XL extends the same platform. This makes it well suited to corporate meeting spaces, higher-education classrooms, and worship venues that need quiet, reliable daily motorized operation with AV-system control. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Draper Premier a tab-tensioned screen?

Yes. The Premier is a tab-tensioned electric screen that uses RF-welded tabs along both edges to hold the viewing surface flat and wrinkle-free, which delivers a distortion-free image compared with free-hanging motorized screens.

What do the Q and U suffixes mean on this model?

The Q indicates a quiet motor that lowers operating noise during raise and lower cycles, and the U indicates an LVC-IV low-voltage controller. Together (QU) they make this unit well suited to acoustically sensitive rooms that also need integrated AV control.

How does the LVC-IV controller integrate with an AV system?

The LVC-IV is a low-voltage control module that lets integrators operate the screen from a control processor, low-voltage wall switch, or building-automation contact closure rather than a line-voltage switch, simplifying trigger wiring in a rack-based system.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with this screen?

The Premier works with any commercial front projector matched to its 123" 16:10 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

How is the Premier installed?

It is a motorized screen that mounts to a wall or ceiling. The steel case includes matching endcaps that form universal mounting brackets, and a standard 12" black drop supports ceiling-recessed installation with an optional trim kit.

What warranty and support are included?

The Premier carries Draper's 5-year warranty (valid in the U.S. and Canada), supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
