Calculation of the projection distance
For a screen size different from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance.
Aspect ratio 16 : 9
minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0312 - 0.0381
maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0376 - 0.0381
Aspect ratio 4 : 3
minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0382 - 0.0381
maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0461 - 0.0381
