    Key features of the projector Notes Congratulations on your purchase of the D8300 projector. The imagery benefits are plentiful, including an expanded color gamut range and bold 6500 lumens. For any commercial venue, including those contending with high ambient light, theD8300 offers bright, saturated color. Augmenting these benefits is the incredible efficiency of the single lamp, meaning theD8300 produces the beautiful imagery while consuming a fraction of the wattage of similar products.

  • Page 15: Aspect Ratio

    Screen requirements Notes Aspect ratio Fitting the image to the DMD The projector uses a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) to create the image that is projected onto the screen. The resolution of the DMD in this projector is 1920 x 1080 pixels, or to put it another way, its aspect ratio is 16:9.

  • Page 16: Examples Of 4:3 Images Displayed With Different Aspect Ratio Settings

    Examples of 4:3 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings Notes The 4:3 image shown here has far fewer pixels than the 1920 x 1080 of the DMD. Your image may be different. Native The 4:3 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source.

  • Page 17: Diagonal Screen Sizes

    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). W = width The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into width and height, at various aspect ratios.

  • Page 18: Fitting The Image To The Screen

    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. Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen.

  • Page 20: Screen Size Vs Throw Distance

    Screen size vs throw distance Notes Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with the desired screen size, and if your image will be the right size for your screen.

  • Page 23: Shifting The Image

    Shifting the image Notes Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen. The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image using the Lens shift controls on the top of the projector to maintain a geometrically correct image.
