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

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized electric projection screen built for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and other large venues, and this 208 3/8" model pairs the 21:9 ultrawide format with a quiet motor configuration. As a large-format motorized projection screen, it delivers a flat, wrinkle-free image up to the model's 16' (488 cm) maximum image width while keeping operating noise low for noise-sensitive rooms. It drops from a wall- or ceiling-mounted extruded aluminum case and is designed for permanent commercial AV installation. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL tab-tensioned electric projection screen extends the Premier platform to large-venue image sizes while keeping the flat, tensioned surface that commercial AV installations require. This unit is configured with the Grey XH600V surface for improved contrast in rooms with some ambient light and is set up for quiet operation, which is useful in worship spaces and large boardrooms sensitive to motor noise. The screen retracts into a fabricated extruded aluminum case with a curved front and an L-shaped back/top cover in an attractive black finish, and it can be surface-mounted to a wall or ceiling. Tab-tensioning with RF-welded tabs keeps the surface flat across the full 21:9 width, and Draper warrants the RF-welded tabs against separation for five years. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black top drop, and optional additional drop may increase case length. As a commercial motorized projection screen, the Premier XL ships standard with a 110-120V three-position control switch and offers an LVC-IV low-voltage controller and Plug & Play (LP/QLP) options for integration with a larger AV control system. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the deployment.
