THE DMD™
Depending on the voltage polarity applied, each mirror will either tilt \
to the left to produce a bright pixel or to the right for a dark pixel. \
When 
light is applied to the complete DMD™, only the light redirected from\
 a mirror tilting to the left is projected.

CHOOSING A LENS
Choosing A Lens
A number of lenses are available. Which lens you choose depends on the sc\
reen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light output.
The following table shows all available lenses in order of their throw ratios:
Throw ratiosThrow distance range
0.77 : 1 fixed lens1.3 - 2.5 m (4.3 - 8.2 ft)
1.16 : 1 fixed lens1.4 - 6.2 m (4.6 - 20.3 ft)
1.45 - 1.74 : 1 zoom lens1.8 - 9.3 m (5.9 - 30.5 ft)

CHOOSING A LENS
Basic calculation
Identify the required lens by calculating the throw ratio.
A throw ratio is the ratio of the throw distance to the screen width:
Throw distanceScreen width
Throw ratio =
1. Use the formula above to obtain the required throw ratio.
2. Match the throw ratio with a lens from the table below:

Basic calculation example
1. Calculate the throw ratio using the formula.
Your screen is 4.5 m wide and you wish to place the projector 
approximately 11  m from the screen. The throw ratio will then be
  
11
4.5 = 2.44
2. Match the result with the lens table.
The lens matching a throw ratio of 2.44 is the 2.17 - 2.90 : 1 
zoom lens.
3. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance. 
The range quoted for the 2.17 - 2.90 : 1 zoom lens is  2.7 - 15.4

Introducing TRC
The choice of lens will affect the image size and will address discrepancies between the 
DMD™ resolution and the source.
When an image fills the height of the DMD™ but not the width, it uses less than 100% of 
the DMD™ surface. A lens chosen using the basic formula may produce an image that is 
considerably smaller than the actual screen.
To compensate for loss of screen space in such situations, you need to in\
crease the...

Calculating the throw ratio with TRC
1. For TRC > 1, amend the basic throw ratio formula as follows:
Throw distance
Screen width  x TRC
Throw ratio =
2. Once a throw ratio is established, identify the matching lens from the t\

Full lens calculation example
Your screen is 4.5 m wide; you wish to place the projector 
approximately 11  m from the screen. You use a WUXGA 
projector; the source is 4:3.
1. Calculate TRC as follows:

TRC = = 1.2
2. Calculate the throw ratio:

The table shows that the matching lens is the 1.74 - 2.17 : 1 
zoom lens.
4. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.

Fitting the image to the DMD™
If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than the DMD™ resolution, the image will not fill the DMD™. The following examples 
show how a number of common formats may be displayed, depending on your \
DMD™ resolution.
