Keystone Adjustments
Digital Keystone Adjustments
By adding a special, selectable algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors
are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens. The result is a
squared image, even at an angle.
What is Keystoning?
“Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen,
or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results
from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square.
41
Keystone Adjustments FAQ
How to Correct Keystone
• If the image looks trapezoidal with
the base larger (as pictured right),
press the bottom button on the di-
rectional pad on the top of the P5
until the keystone effect corrects
and the picture turns into a square
projection.
• If the image looks trapezoidal with
the top larger (as pictured right),
press the top button on the direc-
tional pad on the top of the P5
until the keystone effect corrects
and the picture turns into a square
projection.
