Installation Considerations

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are 

installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account 

to ensure your projector performs optimally. 

Ambient Light 

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your 

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft 

of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed 

out and less vibrant. 
Requires separate room Installation cost is usually higher.

Throw Distance 

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This 

is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you 

have enough room to install your projector with a de-sired screen size and if your image 

will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking 

the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. The result 

of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from 

the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (TR)

Screen Width (SW

)

Throw Distance (TD)

Note:

H9090 is available with multiple lens options. The standard H9090 offers throw ratios 

between 1.85:1 - 2.40:1. With the optional, short-throw lens with throw ratios between 

1.56:1 - 1.86:1, and long-throw lens with throw ratios between 2.40:1 – 4.0:1.
