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

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 that need an expansive image fully concealed when idle. This 27' 6" (330") diagonal NTSC (4:3) configuration sits near the model's 22' maximum image width, making it suited to convention centers, ballrooms, and large auditoriums. A motorized trap door and independently motorized ceiling closure panel hide the screen behind a clean ceiling line, while tab-tensioning with RF-welded tabs holds the large surface flat. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Ultimate Access XL V 27' 6" large-format projection screen (Part # 145023U) is specified for large rooms where a tab-tensioned image, expansive width, and fully finished ceiling all matter. The case includes a motorized trap door for smooth screen descent and an independently motorized ceiling closure panel that opens into the case; a contractor can finish the panel to match the surrounding ceiling so nothing is visible when the screen is retracted. As a Series V tab-tensioned projection screen, the surface is held flat by side tensioning tabs with RF-welded seals that prevent separation and stickiness, supporting superior image quality at large sizes. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top, and a bottom access panel simplifies maintenance. This unit ships with an LVC-IV low-voltage controller, and the model includes a junction box and 110V three-position wall switch for recessed wall mounting; low-voltage or video-interface controls can be built into the housing for below-ceiling access. Installing the case early during construction protects the screen and lets it be added later. The Ultimate Access XL V supports image widths up to 22' (671 cm) and accepts Series V surfaces including OptiFlex matt white and grey plus premium TecVision options; contact us to confirm the surface for your part number. 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.
