A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier. The projector is designed for projecting an image size (video) from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with a aspect ratio of 5 to 4. 5976135 BARCOSIM 6 21032000...
B = Distance between ceiling and top of the screen or between floor and bottom of the screen. A = Correction value, distance between bottom side of projector (without feet) and middle of the lens. Value to be subtracted from B to obtain the correct installation position.
Use the lens formulas in appendix B to find the best corresponding PD with regard to the measured projector-screen distance for the required screen width. The desired lens is determined. The projector is supplied without any lens. The following lenses are available, or will become available (contact a Barco service center) as an option : Lenses QGD(1.36-2.06:1) QGD(7:1) QGD(0.8:1)

QFD(4.5-6:1) = 4.39 x SW - 0.02 - 0.029/SW = 6.00 x SW + 0.15 - 0.107/SW Lens program to calculate the projector distance is available on the BARCO webside : http://www.barco.com/projecti/cusserv/index.htm Remark : In case of the Scheimpflug version lens, the formulas are valid in the normal position.
To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air.
