  • Page 19: Rear Screen Installations

    INSTALLATION & SETUP Screen Type ' Front Screen Installations While there are two basic screen types, flat and curved, generally flat screens are recommended for this projector (Figure 2.17). Flat screens offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. Incident light reflects equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.
  • Page 20 INSTALLATION & SETUP Ideally, to fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image. The aspect ratio of an image is expressed as the ratio of its width to its height such as a 4:3 aspect. Standard video from a VCR has a 4:3 aspect ratio.

  • Page 21: Projector Position And Mounting

    INSTALLATION & SETUP Installation type, screen type, and lighting all affect where the projector is positioned. Projector In addition, both throw distance (the distance between the projector and screen) and Position and vertical position (the height of the projector in relation to the screen) must be determined for every new installation.
  • Page 22 INSTALLATION & SETUP If necessary, vertical position of the image can be offset—that is, moved up or down in relation to lens center—by using the motorized offset function. Starting with no offset, the image from this projector can be moved up or down by a maximum distance of 525 pixels for SXGA+ resolution, resulting in the entire image displayed above or below lens center.

  • Page 103 OPERATION Edge Blending Christie Edge Blending is an innovative set of software functions that can quickly and easily blend the edges of multiple adjacent full screen images to create a single seamless larger image. What is a Blend? In simple terms, a blend appears as a gradient strip along an edge of a projected image.

  • Page 104: Main Functions

    OPERATION Optional Blinders If desired, you may wish to install the optional mechanical blinders at the projector lens. These adjustable blades help to blend blacklevels along edges of the image, and are available in a separate kit. Since the blinders and Edge Blending menu controls are intended to complement each other, with blinders primarily affecting blacklevels and software primarily affecting whitelevels, together these components produce the best blends possible for any type of flat image.

  • Page 105: Other Functions

    OPERATION determines the white Blend Midpoint level at the blend midpoint (the point equidistant between the beginning and end of the blend). Increasing the Blend Midpoint setting creates a blend that appears brighter than the rest of the image. Decreasing the Blend Midpoint setting creates a blend that is darker than the rest of the image.
