Vidikron Model 85 Throw Ratios for the Vision 85 Series, Throw Range Throw Ratio, Projector Model

Installation

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is	Throw Distance
an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you
have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will
be the right size for your screen.
You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2.The result of this calculation tells you
roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a
focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Estimating Throw Distance

Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio
