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

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations that call for a big, geometrically accurate image. This 208 3/8" diagonal model is configured in a 21:9 ultrawide format for panoramic content in auditoriums, large boardrooms, and lecture halls. As a large-format electric projection screen, it pairs a fabricated extruded aluminum case with an RF-welded tab-tensioned surface for a flat, wrinkle-free picture across the full image width. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL tab-tensioned screen is engineered for integrators specifying a permanent ceiling- or wall-mounted electric screen in larger venues. The viewing surface is held flat by a lateral tab-guide cable system with RF-welded tabs, which Draper warrants against separation for five years, keeping the image geometrically stable in a fixed installation. The screen accommodates a maximum image width up to 16' (488 cm), and this 21:9 ultrawide configuration suits presentation walls and panoramic front-projection content. The case is a fabricated extruded aluminum extrusion with a curved front and an L-shaped back/top cover finished in black, measuring 6-3/4" high by 6-3/4" deep (17 cm x 17 cm) for a clean line above the screen. An instantly reversible tubular motor is mounted inside the 4" metal roller with thermal overload protection and an electric brake, and this unit is supplied in a quiet (Q) motor configuration for reduced operating noise. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black top drop, and optional wall or ceiling brackets give integrators flexibility around building structure. This makes the Premier XL well suited to large-format commercial deployments where a tensioned, motorized image surface is required. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
