Draper to Launch Screen Aimed Specifically at Rental/Staging Markets
Dubbed the StageScreen and planned for an InfoComm launch, Draper is making a play for a leadership position in the Rental/Staging market with a “transformable” screen. Draper claims their new StageScreen will save setup time and money, and will offer a better return on investment. Here’s why:
With the StageScreen there’s no need to purchase multiple projection screens. The StageScreen allows you to build different screen formats and sizes with different combinations of the same parts. The more additional viewing surfaces and pieces you buy, the more sizes you can build.
Draper goes on to claim that because of the flexibility of their modular design, the StageScreen’s 8-inch truss system is stronger than traditional truss, with virtually no deflection even in large sizes. Truss segments attach quickly, easily and securely end-to-end. There are no parts to unfold, and no hinges to pinch fingers. Draper’s proprietary screen attachment system works without snaps, making it easier to attach the screen surface. Draper says that in less than 10 minutes, two people can have a 17’ x 20’ screen fully assembled and ready to fly.
It’s not up on Draper’s Web site yet, but it will be here when it is.
You can also see it in their booth at InfoComm.
I’m taking a look at this first thing on Wednesday. Can’t wait. If it works, it’ll be neat.
