Draper Premier XL – 182 3/8", 21:9 Ultrawide – 101820CD

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a wall- or ceiling-mounted, large-format tab-tensioned projection screen built for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and large venues where standard screen sizes fall short. This 182 3/8" diagonal 21:9 Ultrawide model is configured with the CineFlex White XT700V rear-projection surface, a strong fit for broadcast sets, atriums, and worship stages that use rear projection or edge-blended imaging. As a tab-tensioned screen it uses RF-welded tabs and a side tab-guide cable system to hold a flat surface across the full width. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's five-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL tab-tensioned screen is an economical large-format electric screen for integrators specifying wide-image projection in permanent installations. The fabricated extruded aluminum case measures 6-3/4" high x 6-3/4" deep with a curved front and L-shaped back/top cover in a black finish, and Draper rates the model for image widths up to 16' (488 cm). The tab-tensioned design uses RF-welded tabs, warranted against separation for five years, with a tab-guide cable on each side to maintain even lateral tension and a flat viewing surface at large sizes. This unit is configured with the CineFlex White XT700V surface, a white rear-projection material with 0.7 gain and a broad viewing cone, intended for rear projection and edge-matched or blended setups where ambient light can be reasonably controlled; it can also be used in dual or low-gain front-projection designs. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" black top drop, and the screen includes a 110-120V three-position switch as standard, with optional Plug & Play low-voltage or additional control options available. This configuration is wired for 220 V, and optional wall or ceiling mounting brackets add installation flexibility. The screen is UL Listed. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
