Setting up the Projector

There are a number of 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. But here are some general guidelines.

NOTE: To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (0.15 m) of a wall or other object.

Position the projector on a flat surface (either on a table or ceiling mounted) at a right angle to the screen at least 1.5m (4.9‟) from the projection screen.

The projector should be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your video source(s), unless good quality extension cables or baluns are to be used.

When installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. Knoll recommends use of the CM33 mount shipped with the projector or the deluxe swivel ceiling mount. The addition of a CM20+6 extension bar lowers the projector 6” per bar as required. The CM25EX is an adjustable extender that can lower the projector 6.75” to 11” (17-28 cm). The ceiling mount kit may be sold separately.

Position the projector the desired distance from the 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.

If the image is square but not centered on the screen or viewing area, adjust it by using the lens shift dials. Use the Horizontal dial to shift the lens left or right. Use the Vertical dial to shift the lens up or down.

NOTE: As the lens is shifted away from the lens centerline, the horizontal shift range is reduced. To adjust lens shift efficiently we suggest you follow these steps:

1Use vertical lens shift to move the image closer to the lens centerline than the final vertical position.

2Use horizontal lens shift to determine the center horizontal position, then move image to the center horizontal position. Maximum horizontal offset +/-15%.

3Use vertical lens shift to move the image away from the lens centerline to the final vertical position.

4Use horizontal lens shift to move the image to the final horizontal position.

5If lens shift is unable to move the image far enough, move the projector (preferable) or tilt the projector and then use vertical and horizontal keystone to re-position the image.

•The vertical image offset range is 105%~130% for the HDP6000

(default for is 105%). The default horizontal image offset is +/-15%, however at maximum vertical image offset, there is no horizontal lens shift.
