Choose a location that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows and strong overhead lighting.
Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on the projection surface and can reduce the
contrast of the projected image.
Select an area with sufficient clearance to accommodate your projector. For best presentation
alignment, mount your interactive projector in a location that’s central to your audience’s viewing
direction.
Choosing a height
The height of your projector depends on the size of the projected image and the available space for it.
If you have a dry-erase board as the projection surface, the height of the projector depends on the
width and height of the board. If the projection surface is a wall, the height of the projector depends on
the width and height of available wall space. Consider the general height of your user community and
ensure they’ll be able to touch all areas of the projected surface. When determining the size of the
projected image, ensure there is room to route the cables around the image and space to install the
pen holder.
To determine the height of the projector mounting bracket
1. Measure the width of the available surface space.
