Draper Premier XL – 220", NTSC – 101388

Product Overview

The Draper Premier XL is a large-format, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen built for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and large commercial venues where standard screen sizes fall short. This 220" diagonal model in NTSC (4:3) format pairs an extruded aluminum case with the Matt White XT1000VB surface, delivering a flat, wrinkle-free image across a full 180° viewing cone. As a large-format motorized projection screen, it is engineered for permanent installations that demand reliable electric operation and a tensioned surface. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's manufacturer warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier XL 220" projection screen (Part # 101388) is an electric, ceiling- or wall-mounted screen designed for integrators specifying a tab-tensioned electric screen in large rooms. The tab-tensioning system uses side tab-guide cables and a weighted bottom dowel to hold the viewing surface flat, which is critical for image geometry on wide surfaces. RF-welded tabs create a durable seal and 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 a practical choice for commercial auditorium projection where ambient light can be reasonably controlled. The fabricated extruded aluminum case has a curved front and an L-shaped back/top cover in a black finish, measuring 6-3/4" high by 6-3/4" deep for a compact profile above the image. A standard 12" black top drop positions the image below the case, and optional wall or ceiling mounting brackets add installation flexibility. The screen includes a 110-120V three-position control switch as standard, with optional low-voltage and quiet motor controllers available for tighter AV system integration. 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.
