Da-Lite DescenderPro 110" Electric Projection Screen

The DescenderPro line from Da-Lite brings a new level of convenience and performance to ceiling recessed projection screens. Designed for spaces where ceiling height, soffits, or tight rooms restrict traditional installations, the DescenderPro 110" Electric Projection Screen offers a compact housing that is up to one-third smaller than comparable electric screens. This streamlined profile makes it an ideal choice for homes, classrooms, conference rooms, and corporate suites where a clean, low-profile look is essential. With fast, reliable electric operation, whisper-quiet mechanics, and a selection of surfaces to suit any lighting condition, DescenderPro delivers bright, precise images with minimal setup. Available in standard sizes and scalable up to 164" diagonal, this screen gives you the flexibility to fit the room now and grow later, while maintaining the elevated quality Da-Lite is known for.

• Space-saving recessed housing: DescenderPro is engineered to fit tight ceilings, reducing visual clutter and enabling installation in rooms with limited mounting space. The compact housing preserves ceiling aesthetics while delivering a full, cinematic screen experience. This makes it a superior choice for multipurpose rooms, small home theaters, and education spaces that demand a discreet, professional finish.
• Easy, flexible installation: The ceiling-recessed design pairs with Da-Lite’s precision-engineered mounting options to simplify installation. The streamlined profile reduces the risk of interference with HVAC, lighting, or other ceiling elements. With careful planning, contractors can complete a clean, professional setup quickly, minimizing disruption and downtime during renovations or new builds.
• Electric motorized operation with quiet performance: DescenderPro features a dependable electric motor for smooth, controlled retraction and extension. The system operates with minimal noise so it won’t distract from presentations or media playback, even in small rooms or quiet environments. The ease of use helps instructors, presenters, and home theater enthusiasts focus on content rather than mechanics.
• Four surface options for optimal image quality: Choose from four screen surfaces to optimize contrast, brightness, and viewing experience across various lighting conditions. Whether you’re working with a bright conference room or a media-rich home theater, DescenderPro surfaces are designed to maximize color fidelity, uniformity, and readability from multiple seating positions.
• Durable construction and dependable performance: Built to withstand daily use in education, business, and residential settings, the DescenderPro frame, housing, and mechanism are designed for long-term reliability. The system’s robust materials resist wear and tear, ensuring consistent operation for years while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in your space.

how to install Da-Lite DescenderPro 110" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan your placement: Identify a ceiling area with a clear drop path and ensure there is adequate space above the screen housing for the mechanism to extend fully without obstruction.
• Prepare the ceiling: Create a recessed opening or select a compatible ceiling cavity that supports the DescenderPro housing, maintaining proper ventilation and clearance from HVAC components and lighting fixtures.
• Mount the housing: Secure the recessed screen housing to the ceiling structure using the recommended hardware and mounting template. Double-check alignment to ensure the screen will deploy evenly and sit flush when extended.
• Wiring and power: Run a dedicated power supply to the mount location per local electrical codes. Connect the screen’s electrical system to the control source (wall switch or remote system as required) and ensure proper ground connections.
• Install the screen: Fit the screen into the housing, verify smooth operation, and adjust any alignment features as necessary. Test raising and lowering the screen several times to confirm reliable cycling and to confirm there are no obstructions in the travel path.
• Calibration and setup: Once mechanical installation is complete, calibrate the projection throw and ensure the image aligns correctly with your projector. Confirm the surface is clean and free of defects, and program any remote or control configurations for convenient operation.
