Vidikron Vision 50 manual Mounting the Vision, Floor Mounting Upright, Ceiling Mounting Inverted

Installation

3.5		There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
Mounting the Vision 50		installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting (Upright)	➤	In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on a secure
		and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
		presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it
		from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)	➤	For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
		space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 50 and suspend it from the ceiling
		using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
		Caution	Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
			projector (part number VIHK-000425, or VIHK-000175 for a Vision
			50/CineWide with AutoScope). Install the mount kit according to the
			instructions provided with it.
			Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is
			particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 50/CineWide
			with AutoScope, because the anamorphic lens and lens motor shift the
			center of gravity toward the front of the projector.
		The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing
		area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector
		can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips
		or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projector	➤	If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector
Height or Projection Angle		at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount.

For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust the projector height and/or projection angle.

If you do this, you may need to make keystone adjustments or vertically shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 44.
