Draper Lowers Screen 32’ With Scissor Lift

Draper debuted several products at InfoComm 2010.

One of them, an addition to its Scissor Lift line, debuted in dramatic fashion, being slowly lowered from the rafters 32 feet above Draper’s booth.

Slightly less dramatic was Draper’s presentation of its Paragon/Series V Tab-Tensioned Screen, StageScreen and Cineflex and Uniflex viewing surfaces.

Paragon/Series V

Designed for large venues, Draper’s Paragon projection screen has been updated with tab-tensioning. It can go as wide as 24 feet, says Jim Hoodlebrink, rental/IDS product manager.

It can be recessed in the ceiling, suspended from the ceiling or mounted to the wall using an optional mounting kit.

StageScreen

A direct result of requests from A/V rental dealers, StageScreen “is unique because it goes up to 80 feet wide and can be suspended,” Hoodlebrink says.

Screen Surfaces

Cineflex and Uniflex screen surfaces were unveiled at InfoComm 2010. The low-gain Cineflex offers a wide viewing angle and excellent contrast, according to Hoodlebrink. “It eliminates hotspots.”

The Uniflex white screen surface can be used for both front and rear projection and has a gain of 0.5 for front projection and 0.7 for rear projection.

Scissor Lift

Every 15 minutes during InfoComm 2010, Draper lowered a screen 32 feet using its Scissor Lift, which is designed to allow for more field adjustments. Check out a video of a screen being lowered into Draper’s booth:
