Setting up the Inflatable Home Theater for Front and Rear Projection
Projector Distance
•
Typically, set up the projector a distance (1x – 1.5x) the
diagonal from the screen.
•
In general, for a 16:9 screen ratio use 1.15x the diagonal for
projector distance. For 4:3 screen use 1.25x.
•
Follow the projector manufacturer’s instructions.
Projector Angle
•
Attempt to position the projector so that it is
parallel to the inflatable screen.
•
Care
should
be
taken so that the
projector is aligned
both horizontally
and vertically to the
front of the inflatable
screen.
•
If your projector has
a keystone
adjustment feature,
this may be used to
correct for the angle
being slightly off.
Rear Projection Setup
•
To use the inflatable screen with the projector placed
behind the screen, first lift the black light guard up so
that it does not block the white screen material.
•
For nighttime video viewing, the black light guard can
be removed from the frame.
•
There are two grommets located in the lower corners
of the light guard. To use the light guard to block
overhead light while using a rear-projector, use the
grommets to tie the light guard horizontally, so that it
blocks unwanted light, but allows the image from the
projector to be shown on the screen.
•
Adjust your projector to rear-projection mode following
the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Use the white nylon ropes and ground stakes to keep the
light guard in position for rear projection.
