Knoll recommends use of the CM33 mount shipped with the projector or the deluxe swivel ceiling mount. The addition of a CM20+6 extension bar lowers the projector 6”...
Projector Positioning The projected image becomes larger as the distance between the unit and screen increases. The manual zoom allows the distance from the screen to be within a minimum and maximum range. See the chart on the next page for details. The example below defines the screen height, width, diagonal, etc.
Choosing the aspect ratio Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. When in 4:3 mode the projector places black bars on both sides of the image. Native mode centers the image and turns off the internal scaler so that any resolution larger than the native projector resolution is cropped on the edges.
Connecting a video device You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound. You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
Computer connections You can connect a computer‟s VGA connector to the VGA input on the projector using a VGA cable. RS-232 connections You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector‟s Serial control connector. Displaying an image Connect the power cord to the Power connector cord plug in power...
Adjust the focus and zoom. If the image is square but not centered adjust focus adjust it using the lens shift dials. adjust zoom horizontal lens shift vertical lens shift Rotate the elevator feet if needed for granular adjustment of the projector‟s height.
