Draper Ultimate Access XL V – 27' 6", NTSC – 145023

Product Overview

The Draper Ultimate Access XL V is a large-format, ceiling-recessed, tab-tensioned electric projection screen with a motorized closure door, built for major venues such as convention centers, ballrooms, and large auditoriums. This 27' 6" diagonal NTSC (4:3) model is configured at the platform's maximum 22' image width, deploying a flat, tab-tensioned image through a motorized trap door and closing behind a ceiling panel that fully conceals the screen with no visible fasteners. As a large-format ceiling-recessed projection screen, it is intended for the widest presentation spaces the model supports. 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 extends the fully concealed Ultimate Access platform to the largest image sizes it offers. Its steel case measures 14-1/16" high by 11" deep (36 cm x 28 cm) including the trim flange, with sliding brackets on top for mounting adjustment and internal brackets that accommodate the screen assembly. An independently motorized ceiling closure panel opens into the case for deployment and seals shut afterward; the panel can be finished by a contractor to match the surrounding ceiling for a clean, fastener-free appearance. Maximum image width for the model is 22' (671 cm), and this 27' 6" 4:3 unit is built at that maximum for the widest audiences. The tab-tensioned design holds the surface flat across the full width for a wrinkle-free image at this scale, and Draper's RF-welded tabs eliminate stickiness and tab separation. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top for correct projector alignment. Adjustable or removable hoisting brackets ease lifting the large case into place, and installing the case early in construction protects the screen and allows it to be added later. A junction box and 110V three-position wall switch are included for recessed wall mounting, and a low-voltage video interface or other controls can be built into the housing for below-ceiling access. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the large-venue system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large is this configuration?

This 27' 6" (330") 4:3 unit is built at the model's maximum 22' (671 cm) image width, making it the widest Ultimate Access XL V configuration for major venues such as convention centers, ballrooms, and large auditoriums.

How does the screen stay concealed when not in use?

An independently motorized ceiling closure panel opens into the case for screen deployment and seals shut afterward, fully concealing the screen with no visible fasteners. The panel can be finished by a contractor to match the surrounding ceiling.

How durable is the tab-tensioning at this size?

The tabs are RF-welded to eliminate stickiness and separation, keeping the surface flat across the full width — critical on a screen at the model's maximum width, where flatness directly affects image quality.

What controls and wiring are included?

A junction box and a 110V three-position wall switch are included for recessed wall mounting. A low-voltage video interface or other controls can be built into the housing for below-ceiling access and AV system integration. LVC-IV and 220V motor options are also available.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with this screen?

Use a commercial front projector matched to the 4:3 format, the 22' image width, and the room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.
