Installation

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2compares these various installation methods.

3.3 Installation Considerations

Installation Type

Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options

Advantages	Considerations

Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Easy to set up	• Shares floor space with audience
• Can be moved or changed quickly
• Easy to access

Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

• Does not take up audience space	• Installation is more permanent
• Projector is unobtrusive	• Projector access is more difficult
• Projector cannot be accidentally moved

Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Projector is completely hidden	• Requires separate room
• Projector is easily accessed	• Installation cost is usually higher
• Usually good ambient light rejection

Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

• Projector is completely hidden	• Requires separate room
• Usually good ambient light rejection	• Installation cost is usually higher

Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror

• Projector is completely hidden	• Requires separate room
• Usually good ambient light rejection	• Installation cost is usually higher
• Requires less space behind screen than
other rear screen installations

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your		Ambient Light
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft
of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed
out and less vibrant.
