INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
* Which screen type?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used
for front projected images and those for rear projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection
systems) given a determined amount of light projected toward them. The 'GAIN' of a
screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain. The gain
of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized
screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice between higher and lower gain
screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration called the
Viewing angle.
In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located
and go for the highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter
picture but reduce the viewing angle.
For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
* What image size? How big should the image be?
The BARCOVISION 8100 is designed for projecting an image size (video) from 1.20m
(3.9ft) to 10.00m (39ft) with a aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
