Before Setting Up Your
Projector
1.1 Selecting Primary/Anamorphic Lenses for Your
Projector
This section provides guideline information on how to
select a screen size and projector mounting position
appropriate for your presentation purposes and about
selection of types of lenses as well. Select primary/
anamorphic lenses for your projector according to the
environment in which it is installed.
Note that all descriptions given in this manual assume that
the angle of projection is zero degree. In case of
projection from an upper position or from the right or left,
it is necessary to calculate the width for the minimum
projected image that is a little larger than the screen size.

1.2 Screen Type
The following two types of screen masks can be used for the DLP Cinema Projector. Check
the screen mask for your projector for its type before selecting lenses because types of
primary/anamorphic lenses to be used on the projector and its settings depend upon the
type of screen mask you use.
Horizontal moving screen mask
Screen masks move horizontally to
adjust the screen.
Vertical moving screen mask
Screen masks move vertically to adjust the
screen.
1.3 Selecting of Anamorphic Lenses
An anamorphic lens is required when you use a wide screen for projection. Because a
different type of anamorphic lens should be used according to the type of projector and
screen, determine an appropriate anamorphic lens in consultation with the end user,
considering its application purpose. See the table below for available anamorphic lenses.
Available Anamorphic Lenses
Screen mask type Screen Type Projected area Anamorphic lens
SCOPE 2048 x 1080
x1.25
VISTA (FLAT) 1998 x 1080
-
Horizontal moving
HDTV

SCOPE 2048 x 1080
x1.25 or None
(*)
VISTA (FLAT) 1998 x 1080
-
Vertical moving
HDTV
1920 x 1080
-
(*) If the screen mask is of vertical moving type and the image cannot be enlarged
vertically due to insufficient zooming magnification of the primary lens, do not use the
anamorphic lens for projection. In this case, it is necessary to set the Screen file
(Screen Presentation Setting). For the Screen file, refer to “Creating a Screen File” in
"Installation and Adjustment Manual (Touch Panel)”.

How to Calculate the Magnification of Primary Lens
SCOPE projection:
Length of projection (L)
Primary lens
magnification =
Screen width (W) ÷ Anamorphic lens magnification
Use 1x for anamorphic lens magnification if this lens is not in use.
VISTA (FLAT) /HDTV projection:
Length of projection (L)
Primary lens
magnification =
Screen width (W) × (2048 ÷ Number of pixels per horizontal line)
* Number of pixels per horizontal line: 1998 for VISTA (FLAT); 1920 for HDTV
* Select a lens that meets the magnification requirement for both SCOPE and VISTA
(FLAT)/HDTV screen types.
Example of Primary Lens Calculation
If the projection distance (L) = 16 m, the screen width (W) = 8 m and the anamorphic
lens is not used:
16m
SCOPE projection =
8m÷1
= 2.0x
16m
VISTA (FLAT) projection =
8m×(2048÷1998)
= 1.95x
16m
HDTV projection =
8m×(2048÷1920)
= 1.88x
Therefore, "L2K-18ZM", which satisfies the magnifications in all of the above projections,
is selected as the primary lens.
