Thank you for choosing Knöll projectors! The HD101 is multipurpose DLP projector with a digital
light processing chips to give bright clear images and display movies in a format similar to the one
they were filmed in. Its manual lens allows for a limited amount of zooming (1:1.2).

The Knöll CM10 ceiling mount kit is easy to install and swivels for exact placement. It drops the
projector about 3" and the projector lens is about 6" from the ceiling. If more of a drop is needed,
the CM20+6 extender adds an extra 6" drop. As many CM20+6 can be added as needed.

The most frequently asked questions concerning DLP projectors are:

How much can the projector be tilted down (when ceiling mounting) or up (when floor
mounted)?

About 20 degrees. The HD101 has a digital adjustable keystone but for best overall image the
HD101 projector should ideally be level if the screen is vertical (which is usually the case).

HD101 Throw Distance

Is the width of the 4:3 image the same as the 16:9 image?

It depends. In the 16:9 mode, if the aspect ratio is switched to 4:3 then the height stays the same
and the width is narrower. If the 16:9 mode is selected, then the width of the 4:3 is the same but
the height increases to 600 pixels (lines) instead of the 450 lines in the 16:9 mode. There are some
digital width adjustments in the HD101. Depending on the screen type you have and the image
displayed there may be black rectangular boxes above and below or beside the image.

Projection throw distances are the maximum and minimum horizontal distances
from the projector lens to the screen. If the projector is mounted level (this is
strongly recommended) the image will drop (ceiling mounted projector) or rise
(floor mounted projector).
