Draper Premier – 126", 21:9 Ultrawide – 101816FBQ

Product Overview

The Draper Premier is a tab-tensioned, motorized electric projection screen configured here in a 126" diagonal 21:9 ultrawide format for immersive, panoramic front projection. This 126-inch 21:9 ultrawide projection screen pairs a black pentagonal steel case with Draper's RF-welded tab-tensioning to hold a perfectly flat viewing surface, a strong fit for boardrooms, command spaces, and multi-purpose rooms that display wide content or side-by-side sources. This SKU uses Draper's Quiet motor for unobtrusive operation during meetings. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier tab-tensioned electric screen is engineered for integrators specifying a clean, low-maintenance motorized screen with a flat, wrinkle-free image. The 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio suits panoramic presentations, dual-source layouts, and wide data visualizations common in conference rooms and control environments. The viewing surface is held taut by RF-welded tabs, which form a durable seal that resists separation and stickiness over the life of the installation. The screen retracts into a sleek black pentagonal steel case with a black plastisol finish (white optional), fitted with matching endcaps and universal mounting brackets for wall or ceiling installation. The image area is fully framed in black and includes a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top of the viewing area to set the picture at the correct height. An optional white aluminum ceiling trim kit supports recessed installation, and rear-projection surfaces are available for enclosed projection booths. This unit ships with Draper's Quiet motor, and the Premier integrates with third-party control systems including Control4 and Crestron for automated AV 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.
