There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen

Mounting the Vision 70

installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

Floor Mounting (Upright)

➤

In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on 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.

Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)

➤

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 70 and suspend it from the ceiling

using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.

Caution

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

projector (part number VIHK-000425, or VIHK-000175 for a Vision

70/CineWide with AutoScope). Install the mount kit according to the

instructions provided with it.

Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is

particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 70/CineWide

with AutoScope, because the anamorphic lens and lens motor shift the

center of gravity toward the front of the projector.

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 Projector

➤

If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector

Height or Projection Angle

at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount.
