Meridian America D-ILA 1080MF1 operation manual Screen Size and Projection Distance

Screen Size and Projection Distance

Adjust the distance from the lens to the screen to achieve your desired screen size.

You will need to have specified the Normal Throw (DILA1080MF1) or Short Throw (DILA1080MF1S) version of this projector when ordering. The Normal Throw version uses a 1.9x power zoom lens, while the Short Throw version has a 1.4x power zoom lens. As a result, the Normal Throw version displays a given image size on a screen up to about 150% as far away as the same-sized image displayed by the Short Throw version. In most cases, especially when the projector is mounted in a projection room, the Normal Throw version will be most appropriate. When the projectror is used in a smaller room, however, the Short Throw version will probably be more effective. The relationship of projection distance and screen size for both versions is given by the table below.

Projection Distance and Projection Screen Size Relationship Chart

•The projection screen sizes (recommended) and projection distances in the table below are provided only as a guide. Please use them as reference during installation. The projected image size may vary depending on the manufacturing tolerance of the lens.

•Use a projection image of 16:9 aspect ratio for setup adjustment.
