Draper Premier XL – 208 3/8", 21:9 Ultrawide – 101822CB

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen built for big rooms that need a wide, perfectly flat image on demand. This 208 3/8" diagonal 21:9 ultrawide model lowers from an extruded aluminum case to a rigidly tensioned surface, making it a strong 208-inch 21:9 large-format projection screen for auditoriums, houses of worship, and large boardrooms presenting wide cinematic or dual-content layouts. RF-welded tabs and a standard 12" black top drop hold the wide surface flat for accurate front projection. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL motorized projection screen extends the Premier platform to large-format sizes for auditoriums, worship spaces, and wide-format commercial rooms. It uses the same tab-tensioning approach with RF-welded tabs down each edge to maintain even lateral tension, holding this 208 3/8" 21:9 ultrawide surface flat for accurate geometry across a very wide image. Where the standard Premier uses a steel case, the Premier XL is housed in a fabricated extruded aluminum case with a curved front and L-shaped back/top cover in a black finish, measuring 6-3/4" high by 6-3/4" deep to support the larger roller. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" black top drop to set proper image height. The 21:9 ultrawide format suits side-by-side content, wide data visualizations, and cinematic presentation, and this size falls within the Premier XL's 16' (488 cm) maximum image width. This unit ships with the standard motor and a 110-120V three-position switch; optional Plug & Play low-voltage (LP) or quiet (QLP) controllers are available. 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.

Key Features

• 21:9 ultrawide, large-format — A very wide image sized for auditoriums and large rooms, within the Premier XL's 16' (488 cm) maximum image width.
• Tab-tensioned viewing surface — The surface is held flat by tabs along both edges to eliminate waves and deliver accurate image geometry across the full width.
• RF-welded tabs — Radio-frequency welded tabs form a durable seal that resists separation and is warranted against separation for five years.
• Extruded aluminum case — A fabricated extruded aluminum case with curved front and L-shaped cover in black houses the larger roller assembly.
• Motorized operation — A tubular motor raises and lowers the screen electrically so it stows out of sight when the room is used for other purposes.

• UL Listed with 5-year warranty — The Premier XL is UL Listed and backed by Draper's standard warranty, supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer.
