Draper FocalPoint 165" Manual Projection Screen

The Draper FocalPoint 165" Manual Projection Screen is engineered for professional environments where reliability, ease of use, and quick deployment matter most. Designed with the AV rental market in mind, this screen delivers a crisp, uniform image from a modular frame that can be configured to suit standard and small venues such as meeting rooms, breakout spaces, and training areas. Built on Draper’s legacy of dependable projection technology, the FocalPoint provides a practical solution for organizations that require a durable, portable display without sacrificing image quality or setup speed.

• Modular frame construction for fast setup and flexible configurations. The FocalPoint uses a modular aluminum frame that accommodates a variety of room sizes and mounting options, enabling you to tailor the screen footprint to each venue without compromising stability.
• 165" diagonal with a 16:9 format for immersive, cinematic-style presentations. This large, widescreen surface is ideal for corporate demos, training sessions, and event spaces where impactful visuals matter most.
• Manual operation with secure tension and locking mechanisms. A smooth, controlled pull-down action ensures the screen remains flat and taught, reducing waviness or ripple during use and stowing compactly when not in use.
• Durable projection surface with consistent color and contrast. The screen fabric is designed to render presentations with clean whites and deep blacks, supporting crisp text, graphs, and high-contrast imagery in variable lighting conditions commonly found in conference rooms and rental venues.
• Versatile mounting and portability for rental and fixed-install environments. The modular design supports wall-mount or portable applications, making it suitable for temporary events or longer-term installations in multiple rooms with minimal reconfiguration.
