When to use half step SkyRailPlus™ positions
Some customers want the ability to set the projector to a 4:3 aspect ratio when playing
golf and an HD (16:9 or 16:10) aspect ratio when watching a movie. When switching
between these aspect ratios a projector must be moved further back in 4:3. As noted
previously in this guide there are three primary SkyRailPlus™ positions (1) Short
Reach, (2) Default and (3) Long Reach. However, it is also possible to position halfway
to the Short Reach and Long Reach positions.
Shot Reach - Half Step
Long Reach - Half Step
The following chart is a complete listing of the ranges available for each top position:

This information can prove helpful when locating the best slide range based on a
particular projectors throw ratio. For example below is chart showing the distance the
ULTRASHORT-HD-720P-OC projector will need to be placed outside the enclosure for
aspect ratios and enclosure depth shown:

SuperBay™ 12 wide 5 deep

SuperBay™ 14 wide 6 deep

Long Reach Half Step
The best position for the 10’ wide 5’ deep MiniBay™ is the Short Reach Half Step of 2”
to 19” that accommodates both aspect ratios. Whereas the best position for the 14’
Wide 6 deep SuperBay™ is the Long Reach Half step. The 14 wide SuperBay™
requires a 6’ deep enclosure to accommodate the longer projector throw. If you have
questions or need assistance don’t hesitate to contact All Sport Systems.
