Draper, Inc.

Feb. 23, 2022 - Are you among the #AVTweeps looking for renewal credits for your CTS or CEDIA certification? Then here's some good news for you: Draper has 4 AVIXA-certified classes and 1 CEDIA course to help with your renewal!

CTS: LED Technology and Support Structures

Direct view LED displays continue to be a hot technology. LED lasts longer than other display technologies and it's brighter. The modular nature of LED panels means you can create a video wall of nearly any shape or size. The best part is there are no visible seams to interrupt your flawless viewing experience.

This course introduces the basic concepts of LED technology and the elements that go into a proper support structure. It's worth 1 RU/CTS Learning Unit.

CTS: Present an Experience—Using Projection Properly

Despite the emergence and growth of dvLED projection still has a major role to play in AV projects. Recognizing that role and choosing the right screen for various applications is at the heart of this class.

This course covers the factors to consider when selecting or specifying a projection screen, and the best solutions to address those factors. You'll also learn how to select a screen that conforms to standardized ANSI/INFOCOMM 3M-2011.

This hour-long class is worth 1 RU/CTS Learning Unit.

CTS: Acumen® Projection Screens

This class is a deep dive into the Acumen® family of projection screens by Draper®. It covers features and benefits of each Acumen® version, including power and control options, available viewing surface materials, and proper selection of the right surface.

Because this is a branded course, the 1-hour class earns 0.5 RU/CTS Learning Units.

CTS: Foundation—The Bedrock of LED Installation

This course is also a deep dive, but this time the topic is the Draper® Foundation® Mount for LED. We take participants behind the screens to demonstrate how the Foundation was designed with installers in mind. Topics covered include features and benefits, applications, and quotes and shipping.

Because this is a branded course, the 1-hour class earns 0.5 RU/CTS Learning Units.

CEDIA: Shade Fabric Selection: A Performance-Based Approach

In the custom install/residential market, most window shade fabrics are chosen mainly for looks. But fabric performance should also be considered, and that's the subject of this CEDIA course.

It covers the impact of fabric color and openness factor on shade performance, and how to measure and compare that performance. You'll also learn about different fabric types and the difference between light filtering and opaque (or room darkening) fabrics.

This hour-long class earns 0.5 CEDIA Education Units.
