Positioning the projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider 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 guidelines:
•Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.
•For safety reasons, position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source (running extension cables may introduce a trip hazard). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
•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” on page 26. We recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.
•Position 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.
•The image offset is 128% for the IN72. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 2.8’ above the center of the lens. For the IN74 and IN76, the image offset is 115%.
