Position
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in
such a way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of
the screen area, and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Projector Placement
Vertical Lens Shift You can use the lens shift controls on the projector to center the image on the
screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or
width, as shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5.
