Notes
• For screen not indicated in the tables, use formulas below.
• If the figures in the tables do not match the results of formulas, use the figures in the tables.
• The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building
codes.
• Distances are in inches, for millimeters multiply by 25.4
• Distances may vary ± 5%.
Formulas
Throw Distance = Screen Width (H) x Lens Magnification H = Screen Width H = Screen Height (V) x 4/3
Screen Diagonal = Screen Height (V) x 5/3
Lens Throw Distance Formula
TL-08SF: H x 0.84
TL-1Z: (Wide) = H x 1.5 (Tele) = H x 2.5
TL-2Z: (Wide) = H x 2.5 (Tele) = H x 4.0
TL-4Z: (Wide) = H x 4.0 (Tele) = H x 7.0
