Stage backdrops are an essential part of any event. While many different structures are required for events, backdrops are always present at conferences, events and lectures because they provide the main focus of attention.
Backdrop setups with front projection screens are common because they’re reliable, affordable, and adaptable – ideal for everything from corporate events to concerts. They offer a high-impact visual solution without the complexity or cost of more advanced systems like LED walls or immersive setups.

Modular Backdrop with Front Projection Screens
Projection screens are an essential tool for many events, presentations and productions. They are an effective way of presenting images, video and other content to a live audience. However, the screen alone is not enough to create an impressive backdrop. That’swhy there are stage backdrops with front projection screens.
A backdrop with a front projection screen typically involves two elements: a decorative or thematic backdrop (fabric, printed, or painted) and a front projection screen in front of or integrated with that backdrop. This setup allows you to project images or video from the front, usually from the audience’s side, to enhance visuals or simulate environments.
If you don’t have a lot of space in the room where you want to place your backdrop, front projection is the best option. If you have a lot of space behind the stage itself, you can choose the rear projection option.
Depending on the size of your backdrop, you can choose to use one or more screens, and you can vary the size of the screens. At AV Drop we use three standard sizes of projection screens, but the can also be tailor-made. Our three standard sizes are:
↔️↕️ 350cm. x 197cm. (137.8in. x 77.56in. or 11.48ft. x 6.46ft.)
↔️↕️ 400cm. 225cm. (157.48in. x 88.58in. or 13.12ft. x 7.38ft.)
↔️↕️ 500cm. x 285cm. (196.85in. x 112.20in. or 16.40ft. x 9.35ft.)
In addition, our kits (AV Drop Pro, Starter Kit) include the necessary parts and fabrics to be able to set up 2 projection screens on your stage backdrop.
Front Projection Screens: How Do They Work?
The projector sits in front of the screen and sends light toward the audience.
The projection screen is specially made to reflect light directly back toward the viewer, maximizing brightness and contrast.
The backdrop might:
Be behind the screen, only visible when the projector is off.
Surround the screen area (e.g., filling the stage except for the screen portion).
Be the screen itself, using projection-friendly fabric or material.
Key Features to take into Consideration
Screen Material
Our front projection screens have a remarkably even light distribution over a wide viewing area and are available in mesh, perforated, super matte & blackout finishes.
It is also very recommendable to avoid too much gloss or it might create hot spots.
Seamless Design
If the screen is part of the backdrop, seams and screen edges should be minimized or hidden.
Consider using projection mapping to blend content seamlessly with surrounding elements.
Lighting Control
Works best in controlled lighting environments to avoid washed-out images.
Stray ambient light can reduce clarity and contrast.
Size & Throw Distance
Make sure the projector’s throw ratio fits your setup.
Larger screens require higher-lumen projectors.
