ERIES

PERATION

ANUAL

Rotation – one
or both of the
projectors has a
slight tilt. Once
corrected, you
may then need
to re-align them.

Key-stoning –
ensure your
projectors have
the same
keystone
values, to
produce
perfectly
aligned vertical
lines.

G R R G

G R

Offset – make
sure your
projectors are
perfectly
aligned both
horizontally
and vertically.

G R R G

Too far apart
– you need
around 15%
overlap, such
that the red
and green
lines overlap.
