CHOOSING A PROJECTOR WITH THE RIGHT ZOOM LENS

Buying a projector means considering many factors, including the lens. Let’s take a look at the benefits of a zoom lens.

• Zoom lenses have different zoom ranges. For standard projector models, 1.2x and 1.6x are the most common lens types.
• A zoom lens allows you to adjust image size so it fits the screen — without moving the projector.
• A broader zoom (with a higher x-number) providesgreater installation flexibility.

What are your installation needs?

Another factor to consider is which type of projector installation you face:

• New installation, with no obstructions - Recommended: MC and ME series
• New installation, with obstructions in the installation zone - Recommended: ME series
• Replacement installation, using existing mounts, cable runs and screens - Recommended: ME series
