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

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 the LVC-IV low-voltage controller (SKU 142018SAU). 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 with low-voltage control, it is well suited to 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 ties into an automated control system. 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 is configured with Draper's LVC-IV low-voltage controller, which provides a clean interface for screen up/stop/down control from Control4, Crestron, and other third-party AV control platforms — useful when the switch or trigger must be located below the ceiling. 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 quiet motor and 220V operation are additional factory options. 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 LVC-IV low-voltage controller do?

This SKU (142018SAU) includes Draper's LVC-IV low-voltage controller, which gives integrators a clean interface for screen up/stop/down control from a third-party AV system and supports a below-ceiling control location. It is the practical choice when the screen is driven by automation rather than a wall switch.

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 is built with 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.
