Viewing Surfaces & Descriptions
M1300
The perfect matt white diffusing surface. Extremely broad light dispersion and spectral uniformity.
Panoramic viewing angle and true color rendition. Recommended for use with any type of projector in
rooms where the light level can be reasonably controlled. Washable. In a dedicated home theatre this
surface provides the logical choice. Available on all permanently tensioned and tab-tensioned screens.
HiDef Grey
A grey front projection surface that provides greater contrast and black reproduction than standard
surfaces, with a lower gain to handle today’s super-bright projectors. HiDef Grey is designed with a
low gain of 0.9 to meet the demands of today’s high-output video projectors. The grey color enhances
color contrast and black levels in the projected image and also allows for more ambient light in the
audience. Available on all tab-tensioned screens and in sizes through  diagonal HDTV (select
models), and permanently tensioned screens through  diagonal HDTV.
AT1200 & AT Grey
Draper exclusives, AT1200 and AT Grey are the most innovative and versatile acoustically trans-
parent screen materials available. Both surfaces are woven, not perforated. This revolutionary advance
allows the viewer (and listener) to position the center channel speaker directly behind the screen—
the optimum location for full range audio performance. AT1200 and AT Grey have the sound
transmission characteristics of high quality speaker grille cloth. See page 13 for more details.
AT1200 provides a uniform gain slightly superior to the standard one-gain material. AT Grey has
a lower gain, 0.8, for use with even the brightest projectors. They are washable, flame and mildew
resistant. Available on motorized screens and in sizes through  diagonal HDTV (select models),
and permanently tensioned screens through  diagonal HDTV. Not recommended for screens
smaller than  wide when used with LCD or DLP projectors.
Fiberglass Matt White
A matt white vinyl reflective surface laminated to tear-resistant woven fiberglass. Matt white diffuses
projected light in all directions, so the image can be seen from any angle. Provides accurate color
rendition as well as superior clarity. Recommended for use with all high light output projection
devices. Requires control of ambient light in the audience area. Washable, flame and mildew
resistant. Now available seamless in all standard sizes through  diagonal HDTV. Larger sizes
available with inconspicuous seam through  diagonal HDTV.
High Contrast Grey
Grey textile-backed surface offers excellent resolution while enhancing the blacks of LCD and DLP
projected images, even as whites and lighter colors are maintained. Performs well in ambient light.
Lower gain of . allows use with even the brightest projectors. Available on most non-tensioned
motorized and manual screens; seamless in all standard sizes through  diagonal HDTV. Larger
sizes available with inconspicuous seam through  diagonal HDTV.
M2500
A high-contrast front viewing surface with excellent resolution and high gain. Outstanding black
retention: ideal for data-graphics projectors producing up to 1000 ANSI lumens. M2500 tolerates a
significantly higher ambient light level than most other front projection screen surfaces. Available on
all permanently tensioned and tab-tensioned screens.
Cineflex
A neutral grey vinyl for rear projection. Cineflex has high resolution and excellent contrast,
even in lighted rooms. For use with any type of projection equipment.
* Gain charts depict gain values at various points, measured in degrees from projection axis. Gain is a measure of brightness as compared
to a block of magnesium carbonate, which serves as a standard for gain of 1.0. The charts also help in judging uniformity. The flatter
the curve in the portion of the viewing cone where viewers will be seated, the more consistent the image they will perceive.

Attention architects, interior designers, building contractors, homeowners, Draper dealers
and especially installers: The Access Screen Series is now even more ideal for home
installations! We’ve shortened the height of the case and redesigned the hanging brackets—
making it easier to put the projection screen in just the right place.
Aside from these modifi cations, the Access Screen Series is still the great product you know
and demand.
The Access Screen Series is Draper’s thought ful so lu tion to the problems that have plagued
pro jec tion screen buyers for years. In cor rect size of screen or aspect ratio, choice of sur face and
job site damage during con struc tion—all can be avoided with the Access.
Case Now/Screen Later—The essence of the Access con cept is a ceiling-re cessed, ex trud ed-
alu mi num head box. The screen itself (view ing sur face and mo tor ized roller) can ei ther be
fur nished with the case or at any time thereafter. The Access or Ultimate Access screen
itself in stalls in min utes, and the only tool you need is a hex key.
Access Case
Easy Installation—Easy Access
It’s easy to see why the Access is so popular. Designed with solutions in
mind, the case features include:
• Redesigned hanging brackets that slide in channels on top of the
case, allowing unlimited adjustment to avoid interference with
confl icting structures above the ceiling. ❶
• A pre-wired junction box inside left end (of audience side) and a
cable exit hole on top. ❷
• Redesigned case with a smaller overall height. White fl ange around
the pe rim e ter of the case sup ports ceil ing tile or trims out rough
ceiling opening. ❸
• “Pin connector” electrical connection of screen to internal
junction box eliminates tools. ❹
• Bottom of case that forms a slot for fabric passage and is removable without tools
for installation or replacement of screen. ❺
The screen (motor-in-roller with fab ric at tached) comes with easy-to-install latch ing brack ets.
Latch ing brack ets slide along a track inside the top of the case, so the case can ac com mo date
differ ent sizes of screens. A large case al lows for maxi mum fl exibility.
Access Case
Need to install a projection
screen in front of a window?
Draper has a new approach to the problem of
projection screens in front of window openings.
With the Access Dual Roller FlexShade, you
can have a motorized window shade that covers
and seals the window light, plus a Series E
projection screen with your choice of format and
viewing surface, both in the same recessed Ac-
cess headbox. See page 28 for more information.
