❸ Projecting an Image from an Angle (Geometric Correction 
Tool in Image Express Utility Lite)
The	Geometric	Correction	Tool	(GCT)	function	allows	you	to	correct	distortion	of	images	projected	even	from	an	angle.	
What you can do with GCT
•	 The	GCT	feature	includes	the	following	three	functions
•	4-point	Correction:	You	can	fit	a	projected	image	within	the	border	of	the	screen	easily	by	align	the	four	corners	
of	an	image	to	the	ones	of	the	screen.
•	Multi-point	Correction:	You	can	correct	a	distorted	image	on	the	corner	of	a	wall	or	irregular	shaped	screen	
by	using	many	separated	screens	to	correct	the	image	as	well	as	4-point	Correction.
•	Parameters	Correction:	You	can	correct	a	distorted	image	by	using	a	combination	of	transformational	rules	
prepared	in	advance.
This	section	will	show	an	example	for	use	with	4-point	Correction.
For	information	about	“Multi-point	Correction”	and	“Parameters	Correction”,	see	the	help	file	of	Image	Express	
Utility	Lite.	(→	page	96, 97)	
•	 Your	correction	data	can	be	stored	in	the	projector	or	your	computer	which	can	be	restored	when	necessary.
•	 The	GCT	function	is	available	with	a	wired	or	wireless	LAN	connection,	and	video	cable.	
Projecting an Image from an Angle (GCT)
Install	Image	Express	Utility	Lite	on	the	computer	and	launch	it	to	display	the	control	window.	(→	page	95)
