SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
There are a number a factors to consider when determining
where to set up the projector, including the size and shape of
your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance
between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are
some general guidelines.
NOTE: To ensure adequate cable
access, do not place the projector
within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or
other object.
1 Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the
screen.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your video device
(unless you purchase extension cables).
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for
more information. To turn the image upside down, see
“Ceiling Project” on page 46. Studio Experience recom-
mends use of an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling
Mount Kit is sold separately, see “Optional Accessories” on
page 63.
2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
NOTE: The projector must be at
least 6.5 feet (2 m) from the pro-
jection screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the
zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of
the projected image. Figure 5 shows three projected image
sizes in 16:9 format. For more information about image
sizes at different distances and formats, see “Projected
Image Size” on page 64.
