Projector Distance and Picture Size Relationship
■The zoom lens allows adjustment of the image size within the projector’s range.
■For optimum picture adjustment, the projector should be placed and adjusted at a distance between 5.1 ft to 56.3 ft from the screen.
Distance from screen
Picture size: 100 inches (254 cm)
Zoom adjustment range: 18.4 ft to 13.1 ft
Picture size | Projection distance (L) | |
(diag.) | Maximum projection distance | Minimum projection distance |
300 inches | 56.3 ft (17.2 m) | 40.0 ft (12.2 m) |
150 inches | 28.0 ft (8.5 m) | 19.9 ft (6.1 m) |
100 inches | 18.5 ft (5.7 m) | 13.1 ft (4.0 m) |
80 inches | 14.8 ft (4.5 m) | 10.4 ft (3.2 m) |
60 Inches | 11.0 ft (3.4 m) | 7.8 ft (2.4 m) |
40 inches | 7.2 ft (2.2 m) | 5.1 ft (1.5 m) |
The formula for picture size and projection distance y1 = 0.0575 x – 0.097
y2 = 0.041 x – 0.0943
x : Picture size (diag.) (inches)
y1 : Maximum projection distance (m)
y2 : Minimum projection distance (m)
Note:
There is an error of ± 4 inches (± 10 cm) in the formula above.
