  • Page 39: Lenses & Lens Selection

    Limited amount of available lenses In comparison to the regular HDX, the HDX 4k projectors have an actuator built in them to help provide a clear 4k image. This extra device means that less space is available in the projector for lenses, thus causing a more restricted amount of lenses that can be used.

  • Page 40: Lens Selection

    How to select the right lens 1. Determine the required screen width (SW). 2. Determine the approximate position of the projector in the room. 3. Start up the Lens Calculator on the Barco website: https://www.barco.com/en/media_entertainment/LensCalculator to determine the possible lenses for your configuration.
