  • Page 39 Later, when the projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and placement. Projector tilting In an ideal installation, the SP2K-C 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 40 CAUTION: The projector may tilt maximum 15° forward and maximum 15° 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°.
