Screen requirements
Aspect ratio
Fitting the image to the DMD
If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than 140 0 x 1050 pixels, 
then the image will not fill the DMD. The following example shows how a number 
of common formats may be displayed.
Images displayed full width
Images displayed full height
Notes
 The images are shown here 
scaled automatically by the 
projector.
  The image may be scaled 
differently if the Aspect Ratio is 
set differently in the Picture or 
Geometry menus.

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When 
dealing with large screens and projection distances at different 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 inc\
hes into 
width and height, at various aspect ratios.
2.35:1 (Scope) 
W = D x 0.92in  (D x .023m) H = D x 0.39in  (D x .01m)
1.85:1 
W = D x 0.88in  (D x .022m) H = D x 0.47in  (D x .012m)
16:9 = 1.78:1 
W = D x 0.87in  (D x .022m) H = D x 0.49in  (D x .0125m)
1.66:1 (Vista) 
W = D x 0.86in  (D x .022m) H = D x 0.52in  (D x .013m)
16:10 = 1.6:1 
W = D x 0.85in  (D x .022m) H = D x 0.53in  (D x .014m)
 4:3 = 1.33:1 (native aspect ratio) 
W = D x 0.8in  (D x .02m) H = D x 0.6in  (D x .015m)
Notes
D = diagonal (inches)
W = width
H = height

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, 
you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on 
your screen.

Positioning the screen and projector
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 between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at 
least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and \
the screen 
should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should 
be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.
Notes
 The projector should be 
installed as close to the 
power outlet as possible.
  The power connection should 
be easily accessible, so that 
it can be disconnected in an 
emergency.
  Ensure that there is at least 
30cm (12in) of space between 
the ventilation outlets and 
any wall, and 10cm (4in) on 
all other sides.
  Do not install the projector 
close to anything that 
might be affected by its 
operational heat, for instance, 
polystyrene ceiling tiles, 
curtains etc.
 The image can be flipped for 
rear projection (see section 
4. Using the menus, Image 
menu) and displayed without 
the need for extra mirrors or 
equipment.
  However, you must ensure 
that there is sufficient distance 
behind the screen for the 
projector to be correctly located.
  Rear installation is generally 
more complicated and advice 
should be sought from your 
local dealer before attempting it.

Notes
 Each time a new lens is 
fitted	to	the	projector,	
the calibration procedure 
must be carried out. See 
Setup menu, in Section 4. 
Controlling the projector.
  For more information about 
Throw ratio factor (TRF), see 
Useful lens calculations, later 
in this section.
Choosing a lens
A number of lenses are available for use with the projector. Which lens you choose 
will depend on the screen size, image aspect ratio and projection distance.
The lenses available and their part numbers are listed below:
0.73 : 1 fixed lens  105-607
1.2 : 1 fixed lens (3 - 15m)  105-608
1.2 : 1 zoom lens (1.2 - 2m)  105-609
1.26 - 1.61 : 1 zoom lens  109 236
1.5 - 2.02 : 1 zoom lens  105-610
2.02 - 2.77 : 1 zoom lens  105-611
2.77 - 4.51 : 1 zoom lens  105-612
4.51 - 7.53 : 1 zoom lens  105-613
7.5 - 11.2 : 1 zoom lens  109-235
If you are simply connecting the output of a camera or computer directly to the 
projector, then the image size (in pixels) may well be fixed. If, however, you are 
using commercially available image processing equipment, such as the Digital 
Projection VIP2000, you may be able to resize the image to fit the DMD.
If the image does not fill the full width of the DMD, this effectively increases the 
throw ratio of the lens. This can be corrected for by applying a Throw ratio factor.
Method one: using the lens charts
For the screen sizes listed below, use the charts on the following pages, to choose 
the most suitable lens.
any full width image, including:
4:3 = 1.33:1 1400 x 1050 pixels (native resolution)
16:10 = 1.6:1  1400 x 875 pixels
1.66:1 (Vista)  1400 x 843 pixels
16:9 = 1.78:1  1400 x 788 pixels
1.85:1    1400 x 757 pixels
2.35:1 (Scope)  1400 x 596 pixels
Method two: by calculation
See the calculations, on the page immediately following the lens chart.

NotesChoosing a lens using the lens charts
Use the chart below to choose which lens best suits your application.
example
For a screen width of 12m at a distance of 35m, the 2.77 - 4.51: 1 zoom lens 
would be best suited.
For the same screen size at a distance of 60m, the 4.51 - 7.53: 1 zoom lens 
would be best suited.
if you need to be more precise, then use the calculations on the page immediately 
following the lens chart.

Notes
 The Throw ratio for a particular 
lens is fixed, and assumes that 
the image fills the width of the 
DMD.
  For images that do not fill the 
width of the DMD, the Throw 
ratio is effectively increased. To 
correct for this, a Throw Ratio 
Factor (TRF) is used. 
Choosing a lens by calculation
For any screen size not listed above, or if you need to be more precise, then use the 
calculations below.
Identify actual width of the image in pixels.
Calculate the Throw Ratio Factor:  TRF = 
DMD width (1400) 
            Image width in pixels
Identify the screen width required.
Identify the throw distance required.
Throw distance calculations are based on the distance from the outer end of the 
lens, which will vary from lens to lens. Once a lens has been chosen, the figures 
can be checked using the lens extension values given on the next page.
Calculate the throw ratio required. Throw ratio =  
Throw distance        
              Screen width x TRF
Choose a lens with the required throw ratio from the list at the bottom of the 
page.
Check from the list that the lens chosen will work at the throw distance required.
example
An image, 1024 x 768 pixels, screen width 6.5m, throw distance 18m from the 
outer end of the lens.
Throw Ratio Factor (TRF) = 
1400 = 1.37 
        1024
Throw ratio required =       18  = 2.02
 
      6.5 x 1.37
Choose the 2.0 - 2.77  zoom lens (105-611).
