Draper Premier XL – 208 3/8", 21:9 Ultrawide – 101821U

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen configured here for ultrawide 21:9 front-projection installations. This 208 3/8" diagonal model pairs the Matt White XT1000VB surface with a factory LVC-IV low-voltage controller, making it a strong fit as a 21:9 ultrawide motorized screen for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and large commercial meeting spaces. As a large-format tab-tensioned electric screen, it delivers a flat, wrinkle-free image across a full 180° viewing cone. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's manufacturer warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL 208 3/8" ultrawide projection screen (Part # 101821U) is an electric, ceiling- or wall-mounted screen built for integrators specifying a 21:9 ultrawide front-projection screen in large venues. 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 Matt White XT1000VB surface is a matt white diffusing surface with 1.0 gain that reflects a uniformly bright image across a full 180° viewing cone with accurate color balance, making it suited to front projection where ambient light can be reasonably controlled. This unit is supplied with the LVC-IV low-voltage controller for integration with commercial AV control and building-automation systems. 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.
