While focus remains sharp in the corners, there may be significant pincushion distortion, primarily at the top of the screen. Rear Screen Installations There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical A diffused screen has a surface which spreads the light striking it.

Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than 1. The main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, com similar to that of a flat screen for front screen projection. A viewing cone, similar to that of a curved front screen installation, is created. To summarize, optical screens are better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audience is situated within the viewing cone. Diffused screens may be better suited when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting.

Screen Size ' Screen size may be from 5 to 40 feet diagonal, depending on the lens you are using. For instance, a 1.

Choose a screen size which is appropriate for your lens and application. Keep in mind that if the projector will be used to display text information, the image size must allow the audience to recognize all text clearly.

The eye usually sees a letter clearly if eye- -text distance is less than times the height of the letter. Small text located too far from the eye may be Projector illegible at a distance no matter how sharply and clearly it is displayed.

To fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image. The aspect ratio of an image is expressed as the ratio of its width to its height.

For example, to display a VCR output with a aspect ratio onto a 10 foot 3m high screen, the width of the screen must be at least Although image size and image aspect ratio can both be adjusted quickly through projector software, it is still a good idea to choose a screen aspect ratio which is most appropriate for your intended applications.

Ideally, to exactly fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should correspond to the aspect ratio of the image, which depends on the source in use.

For example, standard video from a VCR has a ratio approximately , whereas a high resolution graphics signal typically has a aspect ratio. By default, images from your projector will be as large as possible and, with the exception of graphics sources, will maintain their aspect ratio. NOTE: With a few exceptions, sources with less than x resolution have a aspect ratio. The normal aspect ratio for x sources is For example, if you are using a 0. Once you know your screen size and lens, you can estimate throw distance needed see example in Figure 2.
