Page 42: Positioning The Sp4K-B
WARNING: The installation of the projector requires at least 6 persons. General guide lines • Use a solid pedestal to put the SP4K-B projector on. Ensure that the pedestal can handle the weight of the projector and that all feet of the projector are captured. •...
Page 43 Later, when the projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and placement. Projector tilting In an ideal installation, the SP4K-B lens surface is centered with and parallel to the screen. This orientation helps to ensure optimized lens performances with minimal offset. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is significantly higher than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.
Page 44 CAUTION: The projector may tilt a maximum of 12° forward and 3° backwards. This includes the tilt created by the projector feet and the tilt created by the pedestal. Barco offers a pedestal for the projector. This pedestal allows you to easily tilt the projector forward up to 6°.
