Motorised ceiling lift for Sony projectors
PDR-GTZ380 is the Future Automation PDR Projector Drop mechanism sized for specific Sony projectors: it keeps the projector hidden in the ceiling of a home cinema room and lowers it when it is needed.
The compatible projectors are the Sony VPL-GTZ380 and the VPL-VW5000ES. The fixing system is universal and the drop distance can be adjusted. The mechanism is motorised and is a product for indoor use.
Key features
- Compatible with the Sony VPL-GTZ380 and VPL-VW5000ES
- Maximum load of 55 kg
- Sits 295 mm deep inside the finished ceiling

Available sizes
The lift comes with two travel lengths, measured below the finished ceiling: 740 mm with PDR-GTZ380-740, which is the standard travel, and 1200 mm with PDR-GTZ380-1200.
Installation
The pre-install frame is made of MDF and has an edge that gets plastered in ("Plaster In Edge"), giving a clean recess in the ceiling: no flange stays visible around the mechanism and, once the lid is shut, all that shows is a 3 mm shadow gap. The frame can go in during the first stage of the works; the mechanism clicks into it later by means of spring-loaded locks, and the cable route is already provided for. The MDF ceiling panel supplied with the lift can be covered with a finishing material where one is wanted.
