Folded Optics; Other Considerations; Installing The Optional Cinewide/Autoscope Lens Mount - Runco RS-1100 CineWide User Manual

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 3-5. The position of the projector and

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.
• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
If you are installing a standard (non-CineWide) RS-900, RS1100 or RS1100 Ultra, skip this
step and proceed with Mounting the RS-900/RS1100 (page 30).
If you are installing a CineWide projector equipped with a prismatic
(Whitney) anamorphic lens, proceed with Installing the Fixed CineWide
Base Plate (Prismatic Lens) (page 26).
If you are installing a CineWide projector equipped with a
cylindrical (Rainier II or McKinley) anamorphic lens, proceed
with Installing the Fixed CineWide Base Plate (Cylindrical
Lens) (page 28).
If you are installing an RS-900/CineWide with AutoScope, RS1100/CineWide with
AutoScope or RS1100 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as follows to install the
