Basic calculation

Identify the required lens by calculating the throw ratio.
A throw ratio is the ratio of the throw distance to the screen width:
Throw distance
Throw ratio =
Screen width
1. Use the formula above to obtain the required throw ratio.
2. Match the throw ratio with a lens from the table below:
Throw ratios Focus range
0.38 : 1 fixed (UST) 0.82 m - 2.71 m
0.75 - 0.93 : 1 zoom 1.02 m - 12.7 m
0.76 : 1 fixed 0.81 m - 5.08 m
1.25 - 1.79 : 1 zoom 1.33 m - 11.73 m
1.72 - 2.27 : 1 zoom 1.83 m - 14.9 m
2.22 - 3.67 : 1 zoom 2.36 m - 24.2 m
3.58 - 5.38 : 1 zoom 3.8 m - 35.35 m
5.31 - 8.26 : 1 zoom 5.59 m - 54.8 m
3. Ensure the required throw distance is within the range covered by the lens.

only. For a full list, see
at the end of this document.
The basic calculation on this page
does not take into consideration
DMD™ and image size, which could
affect the throw ratio. For a more
complex and realistic calculation,
see
section.
When calculating the throw ratio, be
sure to use identical measurement
units for both the throw distance and
the screen width.

part numbers, see
