Installation This section provides an example of projector installation, and explanations on the projection distances and projection angles. ■ Installation Procedure This section provides an example of projector installation, and explanations on projection distances and angles. Caution · Do not block the ventilation outlet on the front of the projector, or the air filter (suction inlet) on the top.
Screen size and projection distance Determines the distance that the screen must be from the lens in order to obtain the required screen size. The projector’s Standard Lens is approximately a 1.2x zoom lens and the largest screen size is about 1.2 times the size of the smallest screen. Using the following table for reference purposes, install the projector so that the screen size is smaller than the screen. Screen Size Approximate Projection Distance 30-inch (61×46cm) 1.1m to 1.3m 40-inch (81×61cm) 1.
Projection angles The optimum projection screen is acquired by placing the center of the projector ’s lens and a right-angle to the screen. When viewing from the side * It is possible to move the projection position up and down with the lens shift function Mouse/Com A:B 10:Becomes 0 When viewing from the top or bottom Point Although the projection angle can be adjusted with the front foot (see page 43), there are cases where the screen will distort into a trapezoid shape.
Connections This section provides explanations on connecting the projector to computers and video equipment. ■ Connecting the projector to a computer Switch off the power supply to the projector and computer before attempting to make the connection. Eligible computers There are computers with which connections cannot be established and computers that cannot be used for projection purposes even though a connection has been established.
Condition #2: The resolution and frequency of the computer must be within the boundaries listed in the chart on the next page. Projection will not be possible if the computer does not support the output image signal resolutions and frequencies shown in the chart on the next page (there are cases where projection is possible, but vivid projection will not be possible). Confirm the image signal resolution and frequency with the computer’s instruction manual.
In the case of the mini D-Sub 15 pin Caution · Switch off the power supply to the projector and computer before attempting to make the connection. Failure to observe this may result in damage. · Confirm the shape of the cable connector and the shape of the port before making the connection.
