Notes
For screen sizes not indicated on the projection charts, use the formulas below.
If a value in a chart does not match the results of the formulas, use the values in the chart.
The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local
building codes.
All formulas are based on a 4:3 aspect ratio and screen.
Distances are in inches, for millimeters multiply by 25.4.
Distances may vary ±5%.
Formulas
The Projection Formulas use the image width for calculation. Image width is the same for all aspect ratios, only vertical image size
varies. For proper projector placement, determine the image width for a desired screen size. Use the Screen Formulas below to
calculate all screen dimensions. Plug in the image width for “W” in the Projection Formulas.
Refer to the diagrams and charts for popular screen sizes on page 2.
Definitions: 4:3 Screen Fo rmu las:
W = Image Width W = H x 4/3
H = Image Height (Size) H = W x 3/4
B = Vertical distance between lens center and screen center Screen Diagonal = W x 5/4
C = Throw distance
D = Vertical distance between lens center and screen top (screen
bottom for desktop)
α = Projection angle
Projection Formulas:
B = 0.2986W
C (wide) = 1.4813W – 1.425
C (tele) = 1.7913W – 1.406
D = 0.0764W
α (wide) = tan
α (tele) = tan
