Page 2.2 Screen requirements Aspect ratio Fitting the image to the DMD The projector uses a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) to create the image that is projected onto the screen. The resolution of the DMD in this projector is 1920 x 1080 pixels, or to put it another way , its aspect ratio is 16:9. If the source image supplied to the projector has a dif[...]

Page 2.3 Examples of 4:3 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings The 4:3 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source. If you are using an anamorphic lens, the 4:3 Narrow setting should be used. The lens will s[...]

Page 2.4 Diagonal screen sizes Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When dealing with large screens and projection distances at di fferent aspect ratios, it is more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H). The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into width and [...]

Page 2.5 Fitting the image to the screen It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are planning to use. Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufficient height or width, yo[...]

Page 2.6 Positioning the screen and projector Optimum viewing position For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor . The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the screen. The distance betwee[...]

Page 2.7 Screen size vs throw distance Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with the desired screen size, and if your image will be the right size for your sc[...]
