Setting up the Inflatable Home Theater for Front and Rear Projection
Projector Distance
Typically, set up the projector a distance (1x – 1.5x) the
diagonal from the screen.
In general, for a 16:9 screen ratio use 1.15x the diagonal for
projector distance. For 4:3 screen use 1.25x.
Follow the projector manufacturer’s instructions.
Projector Angle
Attempt to position the projector so that it is
parallel to the inflatable screen.
Care should be
taken so that the
projector is aligned
both horizontally
and vertically to the
front of the inflatable
screen.
If your projector has
a keystone
adjustment feature,
this may be used to
correct for the angle
being slightly off.
Rear Projection Setup
To use the inflatable screen with the projector placed
behind the screen, first lift the black light guard up so
that it does not block the white screen material.
For nighttime video viewing, the black light guard can
be removed from the frame.
There are two grommets located in the lower corners
of the light guard. To use the light guard to block
overhead light while using a rear-projector, use the
grommets to tie the light guard horizontally, so that it
blocks unwanted light, but allows the image from the
projector to be shown on the screen.
Adjust your projector to rear-projection mode following
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use the white nylon ropes and ground stakes to keep the
light guard in position for rear projection.
