CHOOSING A LENS
Rev A June 2017
Basic calculation example
1. Calculate the throw ratio using the formula.
Your screen is
4.5 m
wide and you wish to place the projector
approximately
11 m
from the screen. The throw ratio will then be
11
4.5
=
2.44
2. Match the result with the lens table.
The lens matching a throw ratio of 2.44 is
the 2.22 - 3.67 : 1
zoom lens
.
3. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.
The focus range quoted for the 2.22 - 3.67 : 1 zoom lens is
2.36
- 24.2 m
. The required distance of 11 m is within the range.

includes High Brightness lenses
only. For a full list, see

The basic calculation on this page
does not take into consideration
DMD™ and image size, which could
affect the throw ratio. For a more
