positioning your projector 13 positioning your projector choosing a location your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1. front table select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. this is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability. 2. front ceiling select this location with the projector suspended upside- down from the ceiling in front of the screen. purchase the benq projector ceiling mounting kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling. set front ceiling in the system setup: basic > projector position menu after you turn the projector on. 3. rear table select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen. note that a special rear projection screen is required. set rear table in the system setup: basic > projector position menu after you turn the projector on. 4. rear ceiling select this location with the projector suspended upside- down from the ceiling behind the screen. note that a special rear projection screen and the benq projector ceiling mounting kit are required for this installation location. set rear ceiling in the system setup: basic > projector position menu after you turn the projector on.
positioning your projector 14 obtaining a preferred projected image size the distance from the projector lens to the sc reen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in the projected image size. 4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. to be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width. this will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height. thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image displayed by this projector. this will be seen as da rkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3 projection display area. the projector should always be placed horizonta lly level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90 right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. this prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). the modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel film projectors did). instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. this is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards on to a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the screen). if the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it mu st be mounted upside-down so that it projects at a slightly downward angle. you can see from the diagram on page 16 , that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector. when ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image. if the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately. when determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection distance. benq has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. there are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the sc reen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset). 4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 aspect display area 16:9 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect display area
positioning your projector 15 how to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size 1. select your screen size. 2. refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "4:3 screen diagonal" . using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled "average" . this is the projection distance. 3. on that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "vertical offset in mm" value. this will determine the final vertical offset placement of the projector in relation to the edge of the screen. 4. the recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above. for example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the average projection distance is 2182 mm and with a vertical offset of 91 mm. if you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. in these situations, some image distortion will occur. use the keystone function to correct the distortion. see "correcting keystone" on page 30 for details. how to determine the recomm ended screen size for a given distance this method can be used for situations where you have purc hased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room. the maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room. 1. measure the distance between the projec tor and where you want to position the screen. this is the projection distance. 2. refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average distance from screen column labelled "average" . 3. using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen diagonal listed in that row. that is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance. 4. on that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "vertical offset in mm" value. this will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to the horizontal plane of the projector. for example, if your measured projection di stance was 1.5 m (1500 mm), the closest match in the "average" column is 1527 mm. looking across this row shows that a 84-inch screen is required.
positioning your projector 16 projection dimensions refer to "dimensions" on page 58 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position. there is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. benq recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actu al projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. this will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location. 4:3 screen diagonal recommended projection distance from screen in mm vertical offset in mm feet inches mm average 4 48 1219 873 37 59 1500 1074 45 5 60 1524 1091 46 6 72 1829 1309 55 79 2000 1432 60 7 84 2134 1527 64 8 96 2438 1745 73 98 2500 1790 75 9 108 2743 1964 82 118 3000 2147 90 10 120 3048 2182 91 138 3500 2505 105 12 144 3658 2618 110 157 4000 2863 120 15 180 4572 3273 137 197 5000 3579 150 18 216 5486 3927 165 236 6000 4295 180 25 300 7620 5455 229 4:3 screen diagonal projection distance center of lens screen vertical offset
