Digital Projection INSIGHT Laser 8K Series CHOOSING A LENS Choosing A Lens Notes INSIGHT 8K zoom lenses are A number of lenses are available. Which lens you choose depends on the screen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light output.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Laser 8K Series SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Screen Requirements Notes Fitting the image to the DMD™ The projector supports 8K, 4K and Ultra HD formats and is able to achieve 2K and 1080p via frame doubling. 2K and frame doubled 1080p will not utilize the full width of the DMD™, resulting in pillarboxing, as shown in the illustration.
Digital Projection INSIGHT Laser 8K Series POSITIONING THE IMAGE Positioning The Image Notes The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image using the Lens shift feature (known as rising and falling front) to maintain a geometrically correct image.
