Installation Considerations; Additional Considerations - Runco Video Xtreme VX-4c Owner's Operating Manual

INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Press to refine other display parameters, if necessary. See 3.5 Using Inputs and Memory Banks if you want
Menu
to work with other source inputs or defined memory banks.
You may want to reduce initial setup time by starting with an "Auto Setup". The projector will automatically
optimize a variety of display settings according to the incoming source detected. You can then re-adjust these
settings at any time, if desired.

Installation Considerations

Although this projector delivers a high brightness quality output, final display quality could be
compromised if the projector is not properly installed. This subsection discusses issues you
should consider before proceeding with a final installation. Even if you do not intend to use the
projectors in a fixed and permanent installation, this subsection will help you to better understand
what you can do to enhance display performance.
Lifting
For any new installation, you will likely have to safely lift the projector into place. Keep in mind
that the projector is quite heavy, and the aid of a CO
recommended.
2.4

Additional Considerations

Here are some other considerations and tips which can help you improve your installation:
Ventilation is an important factor when preparing a projection room. The ambient
temperature should be kept constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector
!
away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature can
cause drifts in the projector circuitry that may affect performance.
Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and
transformers. Common sources of these are slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers, ele-
vators, etc.
For rear screen applications, less space is required if a mirror is used to fold the optical path.
Choose the right screen size for the application:
As screen size increases, magnification increases and reduces brightness. Select a screen
size which is appropriate for the theater, but not larger than what is required.
Installing a large screen in a small room is similar to watching television close up; too
large a screen can overpower a room. A good rule of thumb is to be no closer than 1.5
times the width of the screen.
Larger screens require greater attention to lighting conditions.
