Overview

The Elite Screens EB120VW2-E8 Evanesce B is a motorized in-ceiling recessed projection screen engineered for permanent integration into commercial conference rooms, home theaters, and institutional AV environments. At 120 inches diagonal in a 4:3 aspect ratio, it delivers a 72 × 96-inch active viewing surface — a format well-suited to legacy presentation content, videoconferencing displays, and mixed-use rooms that need to serve both 4:3 data and projected media. The MaxWhite FG screen material is fiberglass-backed with a 1.1 gain rating and 180-degree horizontal viewing angle, which means the image stays consistent even for viewers seated well off-axis — a practical requirement in wide boardrooms or classroom settings. The surface is independently certified as 4K Ultra HD, HDR, and active 3D ready, and carries GreenGuard Gold certification for low chemical emissions in occupied spaces. The aluminum housing is moisture-resistant and NFPA 701 flame retardant, meeting commercial fire code in most U.S. jurisdictions.

From a systems integration standpoint, the EB120VW2-E8 is one of the better-specified screens in its class for control flexibility. The onboard IR and RF receivers respond to the included remotes, the 3-way wall switch handles basic raise/lower without a control system, and the RJ45 Ethernet port plus 5–12V trigger support full integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other IP or voltage-based control platforms. The screen ships fully assembled — the housing, motor, and rolled screen arrive as a single unit, reducing installation to ceiling rough-in, bracket mounting, and low-voltage wiring. Elite Screens provides a complete installation kit and backs the unit with a 2-year standard warranty (extendable to 3 years via the ENR-G program) with lifetime technical support. For AV integrators specifying a discreet, control-system-ready fixed installation, the Evanesce B is a proven, code-compliant option.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Fully recessed housing eliminates visible screen hardware when the surface is retracted — essential for high-end residential and corporate installs where aesthetics matter as much as function.
  • RJ45 Ethernet port and 5–12V trigger enable integration with professional AV control systems (Crestron, AMX, Extron) without additional adapters.
  • MaxWhite FG at 1.1 gain and 180-degree viewing angle maintains image fidelity across wide seating arrangements without hot-spotting.
  • Ships fully assembled, reducing on-site labor to ceiling rough-in, mounting, and wiring rather than mechanical assembly.
  • GreenGuard Gold certification and NFPA 701 flame retardancy meet commercial building code requirements in most jurisdictions.

👎 Cons

  • 4:3 aspect ratio limits compatibility with widescreen (16:9 or 2.35:1) content — HD and 4K video will require letterboxing or a different screen model for native widescreen presentation.
  • In-ceiling installation is permanent and requires significant ceiling access — not suitable for rental venues, temporary installs, or locations without accessible ceiling cavities.
  • No built-in masking system for variable aspect ratios; the 8-inch black drop is fixed, not adjustable per-content.
  • The tubular motor and housing require a ceiling cavity depth that must be verified during pre-construction planning — retrofitting into a finished ceiling is substantially more labor-intensive.
  • No HDBaseT or network video input — this is a passive screen surface; signal routing must be handled by separate AV infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

The screen ships with IR and RF wireless remotes, a 3-way wall switch, an integrated RJ45 Ethernet port, and a 5–12V trigger input. The RJ45 port enables IP-based control, which is compatible with major control systems including Crestron, AMX, and Extron — the RS-232 or IP command strings are available from Elite Screens' support documentation.
It ships fully assembled. The screen, motor, and housing arrive as a single unit — the installation process involves cutting the ceiling opening to the specified dimensions, securing the housing, and connecting the low-voltage control wiring. A full in-ceiling installation kit is included.
The MaxWhite FG surface is rated at 1.1 gain with a 180-degree viewing angle. The fiberglass backing eliminates hot-spotting across wide seating arrangements. It is rated compatible with active 3D, 4K Ultra HD, and HDR projection — the surface does not filter or attenuate the high-frequency flicker required by active 3D glasses.
The overall housing dimensions are 86.7 inches high × 106.1 inches wide. The viewing surface is 72 inches high × 96 inches wide with an 8-inch black masking drop. Plan your ceiling rough opening to the housing width plus manufacturer-specified tolerances — consult the installation guide for the exact cut dimensions.
The aluminum housing carries a moisture-resistant rating and the screen material is GreenGuard Gold certified for indoor air quality, but this screen is not rated for exterior or exposed outdoor installation. It is designed for climate-controlled commercial and residential interiors.
