Keystone Adjustments

What is Keystoning?

“Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen,
or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results
from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square.

Digital Keystone Adjustments

By adding a special, selectable, algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors
are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens. The result is a
squared image, even at an angle.

36

Keystone Adjustments FAQ

How to Correct Keystone

• If the image looks trapezoidal
with the base larger (as pictured
right), press the bottom button on
the directional pad on the top of
the P450 until the keystone effect
corrects and the picture turns into
a square projection.

• If the image looks trapezoidal with
the top larger (as pictured right),
press the top button on the direc­tional pad on the top of the P450
until the keystone effect corrects
and the picture turns into a square
projection.
