Installation Considerations

Installation Type ➤

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2compares these various installation methods.

Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options

Advantages	Considerations

Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Easy to set up	• Shares floor space with audience
• Can be moved or changed quickly
• Easy to access

Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

• Does not take up audience space	• Installation is more permanent
• Projector is unobtrusive	• Projector access is more difficult
• Projector cannot be accidentally moved

Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Projector is completely hidden	• Requires separate room
• Projector is easily accessed	• Installation cost is usually higher
• Usually good ambient light rejection

Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

• Projector is completely hidden	• Requires separate room
• Usually good ambient light rejection	• Installation cost is usually higher

Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror

• Projector is completely hidden	• Requires separate room
• Usually good ambient light rejection	• Installation cost is usually higher

•Requires less space behind screen than other rear screen installations

Ambient Light ➤ In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.
