Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range
The projection distance is the distance between the center of the projection window and the
surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from
the center of the projection window to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H
is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for wall mount) to A (determined by
drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the projection window to projected image
surface).
