Digital Projection HIGHlite 740 Series

Basic calculation example

1. Calculate the throw ratio using the formula.
Your screen is 4.5 m wide and you wish to place the projector
approximately 11 m from the screen. The throw ratio will then be
11
= 2.44
4.5
2. Match the result with the lens table.
The lens matching a throw ratio of 2.44 is the 2.17 - 2.90 : 1
zoom lens.
3. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.
The range quoted for the 2.17 - 2.90 : 1 zoom lens is 2.7 - 15.4
m. The required distance of 11 m is within the range.
