2. Installation Digital Projection User Manual TITAN sx+-500 Screen requirements Notes Aspect ratio Fitting the image to the DMD If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than 1400 x 1050 pixels, then the image will not fill the DMD. The following example shows how a number of common formats may be displayed.
Digital Projection User Manual 2. Installation TITAN sx+-500 Diagonal screen sizes Notes Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
2. Installation Digital Projection User Manual TITAN sx+-500 Fitting the image to the screen Notes It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are planning to use.
