  • Page 34: Installation Considerations

    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 35: 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 36: 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 37: 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 Owner’s Operating Manual (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W)

  • Page 39: Folded Optics

    In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-6. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance.

  • Page 41: Install Ceiling Mount Extension Brackets (Cinewide With Autoscope)

    If you are installing an AutoScope-equipped VX-6000d, use the supplied hardware to attach the ceiling mount extension brackets to the bottom of the projector as shown in Figure 3-7. For ceiling installations, these brackets bring the mounting points for the projector mounting plate (included with the ceiling mount kit) from the bottom of the projector up and around the lens motor housing.

  • Page 42: Mounting The Vx-6000D

    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.

    CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed.
  • Page 57 Incorrect Lens Angle The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is normal. Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.
