Much time is spent on helping you select the right projector for
your home cinema which is great as it is an expensive purchase.
Unfortunately little time is given to location, and this is
critical to achieve a great cinema experience. The following
describes the different ways of locating a projector
successfully. There are three ways a projector can be set up.
These are table top, wall mounted or ceiling mounted. One of
your considerations when selecting a projector will need to be
where is it going to live. If you are deciding to mount your
projector on the ceiling make sure that one of the modes
available is ceiling, otherwise you will probably be watching a
movie that is upside down.
When you have decided on the location of the projector you will
need to look at the relevant requirements for the chosen set up
Table top.
Does the projector go well with the décor? Is the noise output
low enough? - This should typically be less than 35db Is the
position the projector will need to be placed in the room
acceptable for the screen size that you want?
Ceiling mount
When mounting on a ceiling thought should be given to: Is it
easy to install the cables and power required? Is the ceiling
vaulted or flat? Make sure the mount fits your ceiling type Do
you need a mount with quick release for transportation of the
projector Can the mount be adjusted for pitch and roll? (Can you
move the mount up and down left and right) How low from the
ceiling will the projector be? Mounts vary in drop height from
base.
Wall mount
Wall mounted can be either a special mount similar to a ceiling
mount or a special AV rack. Things to bear in mind when wall
mounting are:
With a specific wall mount: Can it support the weight of the
projector? Is it adjustable for height and sideways movement? Is
there anyway of tidying the cables? Will it fit in with the room
décor? Will the chosen location produce the desired screen size
with the projector?
For AV rack mounted: Does the rack allow enough airflow?(Has it
been designed for AudioVisual (AV) equipmen)t Will cables be out
of the way? Will the rack fit in with the décor of the room?
Does the location of the rack give the screen size required with
the projector
