When Should You Specify an Electric Projection Screen?
Electric projection screens are motorized systems that lower and raise the screen when the space needs it. They help teams balance clean room design, repeatable operation, and a clear route to control integration.
See the selection logicScreen position
The right installation method depends on ceiling, wall, access, and viewing conditions.
System integration
Screen, projector, and control requirements should be reviewed as one AV system.

Electric Projection Screen Solutions by Project Type
01
Standard Motorized Screens
For classrooms, meeting rooms, training spaces, and home installations that need a practical retractable screen.
Installation: wall or ceiling mounted; confirm the selected housing and control method.02
In-ceiling Electric Screens
For projects where the screen should sit within a concealed ceiling detail when retracted.
Installation: recessed or concealed; maintenance access must be planned with the ceiling detail.03
Tab-tensioned Screens
For applications that need a flatter surface direction, including large-format and higher-precision viewing requirements.
Installation: fixed wall or ceiling structure; confirm compatible surface and tensioning configuration.04
Large Venue Electric Screens
For auditoriums, houses of worship, event spaces, and other large viewing environments.
Installation: project-specific structural planning; confirm size, access, and delivery requirements.How to Specify an Electric Projection Screen
| Criteria | What to review | Planning direction |
|---|---|---|
| Room and mounting | Ceiling or wall condition, available housing space and service access | Compare surface-mounted and in-ceiling formats against the selected model's installation requirements. |
| Image geometry | Visible image width and height, aspect ratio, audience layout and projector throw distance | Confirm image placement and viewing requirements before selecting a model and size. |
| Screen surface | Projector model and throw type, ambient-light direction and seating positions | Review the material name or code and compatibility with the selected screen; request an available sample where needed. |
| Installation coordination | Mounting structure, ceiling opening where relevant, cable route and maintenance access | Confirm dimensions and mounting details against the applicable model drawing before installation. |
| Power and controls | Destination voltage and frequency, cable exit, controller model and required interface | Confirm the supplied control configuration, wiring and any external interface hardware in the quotation. |
| Order and delivery | Quantity, destination, delivery access, required date and packed-size constraints | Confirm packaging, accessories and shipment requirements for the agreed configuration. |
| Approval documents | Model specification, dimensions, installation and wiring information needed by the project team | Request the available documents and confirm their version and applicability before approval. |
Review MGF screen materials and the motorized screen control integration guide alongside the selected model. Document and sample availability should be confirmed for the quoted configuration.
For meeting rooms, compare the room-specific inputs in our conference room screen solutions before submitting the project brief.

Commercial Applications
Home Theater
Review projector compatibility, surface choice and installation fit for the room. Confirm any noise requirement against the selected motor and configuration.
Conference Room
Reliable daily use with a clear path for installation and control.
Classroom
Practical setup, repeatable use, and straightforward maintenance.
Commercial Display
Visitor, retail, and presentation spaces.
Fixed Conference & Event Venue
Installed motorized screens for fixed conference, presentation and event venues with planned structure, access and control.
OEM and Project Engineering Support
Project requirements
Share the room or venue plan, image dimensions, projector, mounting conditions, control requirements, quantity and destination.
Model and configuration review
Compare the screen format, material, housing, power and control configuration against the project requirements.
Drawing and sample approval
Confirm the available model drawings, material samples and order details that require approval before production.
Production
Build against the approved order configuration.
Inspection and packing
Confirm the agreed inspection scope, operation checks, accessory list and packing requirements for the order.
Dispatch preparation
Confirm shipment details and the agreed project documents before dispatch.
Compare Three Electric Screen Installation Directions
Start with the installation form and screen structure, then confirm the exact material, size and operating requirements. These three models provide different starting points for a project brief.
| Model direction | When to review it | Information to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| RoundPro Luxe | A tab-tensioned electric screen in a rounded housing | Surface code, compatible projector geometry, visible image size, mounting dimensions and the quoted control configuration |
| Square Low-Voltage | A conventional non-tab-tensioned electric screen in a square housing | Surface code, image size, housing dimensions, supply voltage, motor requirements and control interfaces |
| ICE Series | A recessed installation where the housing is concealed in the ceiling | The exact housing variant, ceiling opening, structural support, service access, screen size and applicable installation drawing |
The words “electric” or “low-voltage” do not identify the complete power and control arrangement. Review the wiring information for the selected configuration before finalizing the installation.

Documents to Review Before Ordering
A product image helps identify the screen direction. Installation and procurement decisions need the documents that apply to the quoted configuration.
| Project stage | Information to request |
|---|---|
| Model shortlist | Model name, visible image dimensions, aspect ratio and proposed material code |
| Installation design | Overall housing dimensions, mounting details, clearances and any ceiling opening requirements |
| Electrical coordination | Supply requirements and the wiring or control information for the selected configuration |
| Quotation comparison | Included controls and mounting components, packaging, quantity, destination and commercial terms |
| Technical approval | The agreed specification and applicable document revisions, plus any required compliance evidence |
For a recessed screen, coordinate the opening and maintenance access with the approved drawing. For an integrated AV system, confirm the actual control interface rather than assuming that every electric model uses the same arrangement.

Need an Electric Projection Screen Recommendation?
Send your projector model, required image size and aspect ratio, mounting location and preferred screen structure. Add the quantity, destination and required operating method. If the installation is recessed, include the available ceiling space and any drawings you already have.
Tell us which decisions remain open: model, material, dimensions, controls or OEM requirements. This gives the configuration review a clear starting point and helps define a comparable quotation scope.
FAQ
Choose an electric direction when repeated daily operation, clean retraction, or system integration matters more than the simplest manual deployment.
Some MGF electric screen configurations support concealed or in-ceiling installation. Confirm the housing, access, and ceiling detail for the selected model.
The control method depends on the selected screen and room system. Share the intended control environment so RF, wall switch, dry contact, or smart integration can be reviewed.
Tab tensioning is a solution direction for projects that need a flatter viewing surface. The final fit depends on size, material, installation, and projector conditions.
Start with room dimensions, viewing distance, projector model, ambient light, installation method, quantity, and target market.
