Page 28: Installation 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 29: 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 30: Vertical And Horizontal Position
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Typically (but not always), the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-3. -
Page 31: Vertical And Horizontal Lens Shift
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 32: Horizontal Lens Shift (Example Only)
Screen Center Screen Width (W) Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is shown in this example. Figure 3-5. Horizontal Lens Shift (Example only) Runco RS-440 Installation/Operation Manual... -
Page 33: 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 34: Other Considerations
Plate Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: • Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. -
