If projector and screen are not properly placed, the picture will be distor ted, producing a
keystoned image (picture top width larger than picture bottom width or vice versa). When a
keystoned image occurs the 4:3 ratio will still be guaranteed. This is especially impor tant when
the projector is being used together with an ‘intelligent whiteboard’.
‘Keystone correction’ allows you to correct picture distor tion of the ver tical keystone type by
internal scaling.
