Draper Ultimate Access E – 150", NTSC – 142018SAQU

Product Overview

The Draper Ultimate Access E is a ceiling-recessed motorized projection screen configured here at a 150" diagonal in NTSC (4:3) format with both the quiet motor and the LVC-IV low-voltage controller (SKU 142018SAQU). It is built for large commercial AV installations that need front projection to disappear into a finished ceiling, using an independently motorized closure panel to conceal the screen slot with no exposed fasteners. As a large-format 4:3 motorized projection screen that combines quiet operation with low-voltage control, it suits auditoriums, houses of worship, and all-hands rooms driven by a Crestron or Control4 AV system. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Ultimate Access E ceiling-recessed screen is engineered for integrators specifying concealed, large-format front projection that is both quiet and fully automated. The steel case installs into a ceiling pocket with a trim flange, and an independently motorized ceiling closure panel opens into the case so the screen is completely hidden when the room is used for other purposes. This is a Series E screen, so the viewing surface is free-hanging and non-tensioned, held flat by its own weight and a bottom dowel rather than tab-tensioning. This SKU pairs Draper's quiet motor with the LVC-IV low-voltage controller, reducing operating noise while providing a clean interface for screen up/stop/down control from Control4, Crestron, and other third-party AV control platforms — a strong combination for worship and presentation spaces where the screen must move silently under automation. Quick-connect wiring lets the case be set during rough-in and the screen added at the finish stage, while a bottom access panel — detachable or hung on a 'T' bracket — allows maintenance and motor service from below the ceiling. This 150" NTSC (4:3) format carries black framing on all sides and stays within the model's 12' (366 cm) maximum image width. The Ultimate Access E is offered with several Draper viewing surfaces — Matt White XT1000E, Contrast Grey XH800E, ClearSound White Weave XT900E (acoustically transparent), and Chroma Key Green — so confirm the surface on this SKU with Creation Networks before ordering. A 220V motor is an additional factory option. The case is UL listed, with white standard and black available on request. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Ultimate Access E installed?

It is a ceiling-recessed screen. The case installs into a pocket in the ceiling with a trim flange, and quick-connect wiring lets the case be set during construction with the screen added at the finish stage. A bottom access panel allows maintenance and motor service from below the ceiling.

What does the quiet motor plus LVC-IV combination provide?

This SKU (142018SAQU) pairs Draper's quiet motor with the LVC-IV low-voltage controller, so the screen moves with reduced operating noise and integrates cleanly with a third-party AV system. It is the practical choice for worship and presentation spaces that need silent, automated screen control.

Is the viewing surface tensioned?

No. This is a Series E screen with a free-hanging, non-tensioned surface that stays flat under its own weight and a bottom dowel. If you require a tab-tensioned surface, the Series V (Ultimate Access V) is the tensioned equivalent.

Which viewing surface ships on this screen?

The Ultimate Access E is available with Matt White XT1000E, Contrast Grey XH800E, ClearSound White Weave XT900E (acoustically transparent), and Chroma Key Green. Draper does not publish the surface for this SKU on the model page, so confirm the exact surface with Creation Networks before ordering.

Does it integrate with Crestron or Control4 control systems?

Yes. This SKU includes the LVC-IV low-voltage controller specifically for that purpose, letting integrators tie screen control into Crestron, Control4, and other third-party AV control platforms. A standard 110V three-position switch is also included.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

The screen works with any commercial front projector matched to its 150" 4:3 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

What warranty and support are included?

The Ultimate Access E is UL listed and carries Draper's 5-year warranty (valid in the U.S. and Canada), supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
