Formulas
The Projection Formulas use the image width for calculation. Image height is the same for all aspect ratios, only horizontal image
size varies when using a 16:10 aspect ratio screen. For proper projector placement, determine the image width for a desired screen
size. Use the Screen Formulas below to calculate all screen dimensions. Plug in the image width “W” for a 4:3 aspect ratio image in
the Projection Formulas.
Refer to the diagrams (page 5) and charts below for popular screen sizes 16:9 screens:
Projection Formulas: Definitions:
NP01FL: C = 0.995W – 1.33 W = Image Width
NP02ZL: C(Wide) = 1.453W – 1.798 ------ C(Tele) = 1.895W – 1.795 H = Image Height (size)
Standard: C(Wide) = 1.838W – 2.022 ------ C(Tele) = 2.447W – 2.015 C = Throw distance
NP03ZL: C(Wide) = 2.389W – 2.830 ------ C(Tele) = 3.775W – 2.840
NP04ZL: C(Wide) = 3.632W – 4.830 ------ C(Tele) = 5.815W – 4.850 4:3 Screen Formulas:
NP05ZL: C(Wide) = 5.747W – 7.625 ------ C(Tele) = 8.732W – 7.645 W = H x 4/3
H = W x 4/3
Screen Diagonal = W x 5/4
Note: Tilting the front of the projector or down by more than 45° from level could reduce lamp life by up to 20%.
