3. Physical installation
Projector centering
1. If the projector is standalone in front of the port window, center the projector with the theatre screen (see ref A image 3-2).
2. If a film projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize a im (see ref B imag e 3-2).
Note: Unlike film projec tors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as par allel to the screen as possible, even if it is
significantly above the screen center.
The off-center position slightly increase side key stone, but will m inimize horizontal lens offset required.

3. Proceed to leveling the projector by adjusting the fe et of the projector as follows:
- Loosen the nuts (A), using a wrench of 17 mm, on the threaded rod.
- Adjust the height of the 3 legs (B) to level the projector, using a 14 mm wrenc h.
- Secure the leg height by tightening the nuts (A) .
Note: There must be at least 5 cm between the bottom side of the projector and the pedestal.

4. Later, when the projector is up-and-running, adjust precise im age geometry an d placement.
Projector tilting
In an ideal installation, the DP2K C-series projector lens surface is centered with and parallel to the screen. This orientation helps
to ensure optimized lens performances with minimal offset. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is s ignificantly
higher than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.
1. Before adjusting tilt, make sure th
e projector is as well-centered with the theatre s creen as possible for your installation area.
2. Check with theatre personnel for the degree of screen tilt, or measure this incline with a pr otractor at the screen.
3. Tilt the projector to closely match this screen tilt angle as follows:
