SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
There are a number a factors to consider when determining where to set up the projector, including the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines.
1Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.
•The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables).
•If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling Project” on page 46. Studio Experience recom- mends use of an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately, see “Optional Accessories” on page 63.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
•The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. Figure 5 shows three projected image sizes in 16:9 format. For more information about image sizes at different distances and formats, see “Projected Image Size” on page 64.
