Draper Premier – 137", 16:10 – 101641CBU

Product Overview

The Draper Premier is a tab-tensioned, electric 16:10 motorized projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations in conference rooms, boardrooms, and training spaces. This 137" diagonal 16:10 model uses Draper's RF-welded tab-tensioning to hold a perfectly flat viewing surface, and it ships configured with the LVC-IV low voltage controller for integration with commercial control systems. As a ceiling- or wall-mounted 137-inch motorized projection screen, it supports image widths up to 12' and matches the native 16:10 output of most commercial computer sources. 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 16:10 widescreen format at a 137" diagonal, which aligns with the native resolution of most laptops and commercial presentation sources. 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 unit is configured with Draper's LVC-IV low voltage controller, giving integrators a clean interface to Crestron, AMX, Extron, and similar commercial AV control systems for automated screen operation. 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 16:10 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Draper Premier a tab-tensioned screen?

Yes. The Premier is a Series V tab-tensioned electric screen. Draper's factory-set tab-tensioning system, with RF-welded tabs, keeps the viewing surface flat and wrinkle-free for a consistent projected image.

Why choose the 16:10 format?

16:10 matches the native aspect ratio of most laptops and commercial presentation sources, so content fills the screen without letterboxing. It is a common standard for corporate meeting rooms and training spaces.

What does the LVC-IV controller on this unit do?

The LVC-IV is Draper's low voltage controller. It lets integrators tie the screen into commercial AV control systems such as Crestron, AMX, and Extron for automated up, stop, and down operation alongside projectors and shades.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with this screen?

The Premier works with any commercial front projector matched to its 137" 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.

Can the Premier be recessed into a ceiling?

Yes. It mounts to a wall or ceiling using the universal brackets formed by its endcaps, and an optional white aluminum ceiling trim kit is available for recessed installation. Draper recommends an additional 12" black top drop for ceiling-recessed jobs.

What warranty and support are included?

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