Draper Premier XL – 184", HDTV – 101800

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and large commercial meeting spaces. This 184" diagonal model in HDTV (16:9) format is built on a fabricated extruded aluminum case with a tab-tensioned viewing surface, making it a strong fit as an HDTV motorized projection screen for large-venue front projection. As a large-format tab-tensioned electric screen, it holds a flat, wrinkle-free image 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 184" projection screen (Part # 101800) is an electric, ceiling- or wall-mounted screen built for integrators specifying a 16:9 HDTV projection screen in large 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 across wide surfaces, and the RF-welded tabs are warranted against separation for five years. As a base-configuration unit, it ships with Draper's standard 110-120V three-position control switch, with optional low-voltage and quiet motor controllers available on other Premier XL configurations for tighter AV system integration. The Premier XL accepts a range of Draper Series V tab-tensioned viewing surfaces; confirm the exact surface for this SKU with Creation Networks before ordering. 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.
