Mounting the Vision 120

Floor Mounting (Upright)

Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.

For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 120 and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.

Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your

Note projector (part number VIHK-000180). Install the mount kit according to the instructions provided with it.

 

The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing

 

area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector

 

can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips

 

or turntable feet).

Adjusting the Projection

If the Vision 120 is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector,

Angle

you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.

 

If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to

 

compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 49.
