Draper Premier – 15', NTSC – 101378

Product Overview

The Draper Premier is a tab-tensioned, motorized electric projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations that need a large, flat retractable image on a wall- or ceiling-mounted screen. This 15' (180") diagonal NTSC (4:3) model retracts into a black pentagonal steel case and uses RF-welded tab-tensioning to hold the OptiFlex Grey XH600V surface flat for accurate, distortion-free projection. As a large-format NTSC motorized projection screen, it fits auditoriums, houses of worship, and large training and multi-purpose rooms that run 4:3 data and presentation content. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier motorized projection screen in this configuration (SKU 101378) pairs a 15' NTSC 4:3 image with the OptiFlex Grey XH600V viewing surface, a 0.6-gain grey surface that enhances color contrast and black levels and holds up better under moderate ambient light than a matt white surface, though it is not an ambient-light-rejecting surface. Grey XH600V offers a wide viewing cone with high contrast and carries GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions. The surface is held taut by RF-welded tabs, which form a durable seal that resists separation and stickiness while keeping the large image area flat edge to edge. The screen retracts into a pentagonal steel case with a black plastisol finish (white optional), shipping with matching endcaps and universal mounting brackets for wall or ceiling installation, plus a standard 12" (30 cm) black top drop to set image height. This unit is the standard-motor configuration supplied at 220V; the standard Premier includes a three-position wall switch, and low-voltage LVC-IV and quiet-motor options are available on the model for control-system integration. Pair the screen with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket or lift from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system. Browse the full Draper projection screen lineup, or the broader projection screens catalog, for alternate sizes, formats, and surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the OptiFlex Grey XH600V surface best suited for?

Grey XH600V is a 0.6-gain grey surface that enhances contrast and black levels and tolerates moderate ambient light better than matt white, while not functioning as an ambient-light-rejecting surface. It offers a wide viewing cone with high contrast, making it a good match for large rooms with moderate-to-high-output projectors.

What control does the standard configuration include, and can it integrate with a control system?

This standard-motor unit (SKU 101378) includes a three-position wall switch at 220V. For integration with Crestron, Control4, or similar systems, Draper also offers the Premier with the LVC-IV low-voltage controller and a quiet-motor option; contact Creation Networks to specify the right part number.

Can this large screen be ceiling-mounted?

Yes. The Premier is surface-mounted with matching endcaps and universal mounting brackets for wall or ceiling installation. An optional white aluminum ceiling trim kit is available for a recessed, finished ceiling appearance.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

It works with any commercial front projector matched to its 15' NTSC 4:3 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Is this unit suitable for worship and auditorium installations?

Yes. Its large 15' 4:3 image and grey high-contrast surface suit auditoriums, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose rooms with moderate ambient light. Rear-projection surfaces are also available on the Premier where a rear-projection layout is required.

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.
