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

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen configured here for ultrawide 21:9 installations with a quiet motor. This 182 3/8" diagonal model pairs the CineFlex White XT700V rear-projection surface with a low-noise quiet motor, making it a strong fit as an ultrawide motorized projection screen for auditoriums, broadcast sets, and quiet meeting environments. As a large-format tab-tensioned electric screen, it holds a flat, wrinkle-free surface across its full width. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's manufacturer warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL 182 3/8" ultrawide projection screen (Part # 101820CDQ) is an electric, ceiling- or wall-mounted screen built for integrators specifying a 21:9 ultrawide projection screen that operates quietly in sound-sensitive rooms. The tab-tensioning system uses side tab-guide cables and a weighted bottom dowel to hold the surface flat, which is critical for image geometry on a wide 21:9 surface, and the RF-welded tabs are warranted against separation for five years. The CineFlex White XT700V surface is a white rear-projection surface with a broad viewing cone and high resolution, suited to edge matching, blending, and short-throw rear projection where ambient light can be reasonably controlled; it carries a rear-projection gain of 0.7 and a front-projection gain of 0.5, and can also be used in dual or low-gain front-projection setups. This unit is configured with a quiet motor for lower-noise raising and lowering, which is useful in boardrooms, broadcast studios, and worship spaces where motor noise is a concern. The fabricated extruded aluminum case has a curved front and black finish and measures 6-3/4" high by 6-3/4" deep for a compact profile above the image, with a standard 12" black top drop and optional wall or ceiling mounting brackets. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the quiet motor option?

The quiet motor lowers operating noise as the screen raises and lowers, which is valuable in sound-sensitive environments such as boardrooms, broadcast studios, and worship spaces. It does not change the image or surface performance.

Is the CineFlex White XT700V a rear-projection surface?

Yes. CineFlex White XT700V is primarily a white rear-projection surface with a broad viewing cone, well suited to edge matching, blending, and short-throw rear projection where ambient light is controlled. It has a rear-projection gain of 0.7 and a front-projection gain of 0.5, and can also be used in dual or low-gain front-projection applications.

Is the Draper Premier XL a tab-tensioned screen?

Yes. The Premier XL is a Draper Series V tab-tensioned electric screen. Side tab-guide cables and a weighted bottom dowel maintain even tension, holding the ultrawide surface flat for consistent image geometry.

What is the maximum image size for this model?

The Premier XL is a large-format model with a maximum image width up to 16' (488 cm). This unit is a 182 3/8" diagonal screen in 21:9 ultrawide format. Contact Creation Networks to confirm exact viewable dimensions for your room.
