  • Page 36: Installation Considerations

    Installation Type ➤ Ambient Light Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount.

  • Page 37: Throw Distance

    This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen.

  • Page 38: Vertical And Horizontal Position

    Projection Distance Figure 3-3. Projector Placement If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-3, you can use the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5.

  • Page 39: Horizontal Lens Shift (Example Only)

    Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is used in this example. Figure 3-5. Horizontal Lens Shift (Example Only) Runco VX-6000d Installation/Operation Manual 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W)

    In order to easily solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.

  • Page 42: Other Considerations

    CineWide Lens Mount Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: • Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.

    In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.
