Mounting the
VX-44d/-55d
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting (Upright)
In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience, you can invert the VX-44d/-55d and suspend it from
the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber
crutch tips or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If the VX-44d/-55d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the
projector, you can tilt the projector at an angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it
affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the
side-to-side tilt of the projector to ±15 degrees; see Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7. Mounting Angle Ranges (Front-to-Back and Side-to-Side)
For a floor (non-AutoScope) installation, turn the two adjustable feet on the bottom of the
projector to adjust the projection angle.
If you do either of these things, you may need to make keystone adjustments or vertically
shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed
instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 61.
