that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-2.

If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-2,you can use

Vertical and Horizontal

the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed

Lens Shift

as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure 3-3and Figure 3-4.

 

Vertical Lens Shift: The VX-2ix zoom lenses (Proteus B through F) provide up to 80% of downward vertical lens shift. For example, with a 96 x 54-inch (16:9) screen, you can shift the image up to 43.20 inches (1.10 meters) below the screen center. (Upward vertical lens shift is not possible. Vertical lens shift is not possible in either direction with the Proteus A lens.)

Horizontal Lens Shift: The VX-2ix zoom lenses (Proteus B through F) allow up to 10% of horizontal lens shift in either direction (left or right). For example, with a 96 x 54-inch (16:9) screen, you can shift the image up to 9.60 inches (24.38 cm) left or right of the screen center. (Horizontal lens shift is not possible with the Proteus A lens.)

Note

1. With no vertical or horizontal lens shift, the lens center and

screen center are aligned with each other.

2.Vertical shift limits are percentages of the screen height. Horizontal shift limits are percentages of the screen width.

3.Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount configurations. For floor installations (where the projector is upright), reverse the up/down vertical offset percentages.
