Draper Ultimate Access 137" Electric Projection Screen

The Draper Ultimate Access 137" Electric Projection Screen is crafted for spaces where performance and clean, architectural lines matter. Built around Draper’s renowned Access Concept, this screen uses a ceiling recessed, folded steel headbox that is installed during construction, delivering a seamless, low-profile solution that disappears into the ceiling until you’re ready to deploy the screen. The viewing surface is mounted on a smooth roller, allowing for reliable, quiet operation and easy maintenance. With a generous 137-inch diagonal, this screen creates a commanding presentation or cinematic experience without sacrificing room aesthetics. It’s the ideal choice for classrooms, conference rooms, training facilities, and home theater setups that demand both high-quality visuals and a discreet, professional installation.

• Seamless architectural integration: The Access Concept brings a compact, recessed headbox that blends with modern ceilings, enabling you to install the case during construction and complete the screen installation later. When the screen is not in use, the steel headbox rests flush with the ceiling for a clean, unobtrusive appearance that preserves sightlines and room design. This approach reduces on-site disruption and speeds up final room completion, making it perfect for new builds and major renovations alike.
• Large-format viewing with excellent image clarity: The 137" diagonal screen provides an expansive viewing surface ideal for dynamic presentations, large gatherings, and cinematic experiences. The matte white viewing surface ensures clear text, sharp graphics, and vibrant color rendition across a wide viewing angle, even in rooms with ambient light. It supports modern HD and 4K content with consistent brightness and color accuracy, so your images look natural and engaging from every seat.
• Powerful, quiet motorized operation: An electric drive raises and lowers the screen with a whisper-quiet motor, minimizing distractions during meetings or screenings. You can operate the screen via a wall switch or remote control, and optional control-system integration (RS-232) enables seamless compatibility with room automation ecosystems. The motor’s reliability makes daily use effortless, while the smooth retraction preserves the screen’s surface from creases and dust.
• Durable construction and long-term reliability: The headbox is built from folded steel with a robust, powder-coated finish that resists dents and corrosion. The viewing surface is tensioned to maintain a flat, uniform image across the width of the screen, reducing wave and ripple effects. The overall build is designed for high-traffic environments and frequent use, ensuring consistent performance over years of operation.
• Versatility for diverse spaces and applications: Whether you’re outfitting a corporate boardroom, training facility, classroom, or home theater, the Ultimate Access 137" screen delivers a flexible solution for large-format displays. The recessed installation keeps the room’s aesthetics intact, while the generous diagonal provides a cinematic feel for films and media or a powerful canvas for slides, data, and design proofs. It’s compatible with a variety of mounting arrangements and can be paired with optional accessories to tailor control and placement to your space.

How to install Draper Ultimate Access 137" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the ceiling cutout and headbox location during construction or renovation to align with ceiling lines and access routes for wiring. A recessed headbox provides the cleanest, most professional look, but requires careful planning to ensure proper clearance for the screen’s housing and roller mechanism.
• Prepare the mounting surface and pathways for power and control wiring. Route wiring for the wall switch and any optional remote or control-system integration, keeping power lines separate from data or speaker cables to minimize interference. If RS-232 or network-based control is desired, ensure a dedicated conduit or wiring channel is available for future expansion.
• Install the ceiling recess and secure the headbox to the structural framework. Verify that the headbox is level and properly aligned with the finished ceiling surface, as any misalignment can affect the screen’s operation and appearance when retracted.
• Attach the screen assembly to the headbox according to Draper’s installation instructions. This typically involves securing mounting brackets, connecting the roller mechanism, and confirming the viewing surface is taut and flat when fully extended. Double-check that the surface is free of wrinkles and that the black drop (border) is even for optimal contrast.
• Connect power, configure the control options (wall switch, remote, or RS-232), and perform initial test runs. Calibrate the limit switches if required, then retract and extend the screen several times in a controlled environment to ensure smooth operation. Finally, test the projection under your usual lighting conditions and adjust screen placement if necessary to maximize viewing comfort and image clarity.
• Commission and document settings for future maintenance. Record the installation details, including headbox position, wiring routes, and control configurations, so facility managers or technicians can service the unit quickly if needed. Regularly inspect the surface for signs of wear, and keep the viewing area clean to preserve image quality over time.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the screen size and optimal viewing distance? The Draper Ultimate Access 137" screen offers a large-format display ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, and home theater setups. Optimal viewing distance depends on the projector’s throw ratio and room seating, but a 137" diagonal generally provides a cinematic experience for rooms of moderate to large size while keeping text and details readable from the back rows.
• Can the screen be installed in existing ceilings or only during new construction? The Access concept centers on installing the headbox during construction for the cleanest look, but it can be incorporated into renovation projects where ceiling access is feasible and a recessed housing can be integrated. Work with a qualified installer to assess ceiling depth, clearance, and structural considerations for retrofits.
• What control options are available? The screen can be operated with a wall switch or a remote control, and there is support for optional integration with room automation systems through RS-232. This enables seamless integration with projectors, AV receivers, and control platforms for centralized management.
• Is the screen suitable for 4K content? Yes. The 137" projection surface is designed to deliver crisp 1080p and 4K content with clear text, accurate color, and wide viewing angles, provided you pair it with an appropriate projector and lighting control to maximize image quality.
• What warranty and maintenance support are available? Draper screens typically come with a manufacturer’s warranty covering the screen fabric and mechanical components. Regular cleaning of the viewing surface and periodic inspection of the headbox and motor are recommended to ensure long-term reliability. Check the current warranty terms at purchase for the most accurate details.
