Draper Ultimate Access XL V – 240", NTSC – 145019U

Product Overview

The Draper Ultimate Access XL V is a large-format, ceiling-recessed, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen with an independently motorized ceiling closure door, built for major venues. This 240" diagonal NTSC (4:3) model delivers a large, dead-flat image for auditoriums, conference centers, and ballrooms while concealing the entire screen inside the ceiling when not in use. As a large-format tab-tensioned projection screen, it combines Series V tab-tensioning with full concealment for permanent, high-visibility installations. This unit is configured with Draper's LVC-IV low-voltage control for AV control-system integration. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Ultimate Access XL V ceiling-recessed projection screen is a Series V, tab-tensioned electric screen engineered for the demands of large rooms, supporting image widths up to 22' (671 cm). The tab-tensioned surface uses RF-welded tabs to hold a large image plane taut and flat, eliminating curl and edge separation so geometry stays accurate even at this scale. The case includes a motorized trap door and an independently motorized ceiling closure panel that opens into the case, fully concealing the screen behind a finished ceiling line with no visible fasteners; the closure panel can be finished by the contractor to match the ceiling. This unit is configured with the LVC-IV low-voltage control option, letting the screen tie into a Crestron, Extron, or similar control system for automated operation, and a junction box and 110V three-position wall switch are included for recessed wall-mounted control. Adjustable, removable hoisting brackets and sliding top brackets help crews position and lift this large assembly during installation. This makes the Ultimate Access XL V well suited to auditoriums, conference centers, ballrooms, and large multi-purpose rooms that require a very large, flat image and a concealed screen. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket or lift from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
