Mounting the Vision 50
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 placed upright on 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 Vision 50 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 Projector
Height or Projection Angle
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector
at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount.
For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable
feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust
the projector height and/or projection angle.
If you do this, 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 44.

Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector (part number VIHK-000425, or VIHK-000175 for a Vision
50/CineWide with AutoScope). Install the mount kit according to the
instructions provided with it.
Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is
particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 50/CineWide
with AutoScope, because the anamorphic lens and lens motor shift the
center of gravity toward the front of the projector.
