Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The projection distance is the distance between the center of the projection window and the surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from the center of the projection window to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for wall mount) to A (determined by drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the projection window to projected image surface).

L: Projection distance L

H: Distance between the edge of the image and the center of the projection window

The lens shift range is the distance you can move the lens shift from the center of the projected image(0) when full width and full height of the projected image is regarded as 100%.
