How to mount the projector and prevent common mistakes

If you want to equip a cinema at home with a large diagonal screen, then the best option would be to buy a projector. Purchase of equipment is only the initial stage of the business. The most important link is the correct installation of the device, which requires the presence of certain knowledge and skills. Inexperienced in such a case, people make many mistakes. They lead to the fact that the image on the screen is of low quality.

The main mistakes when installing projectors

Proper installation of the projector equipment can provide high quality pictures. During the work, it is required to take into account many different factors, as well as to make diverse installation operations.Therefore, for a person who produces assembly activities, not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills are important. Beginners or inexperienced installers in the course of installation work make a number of both minor and serious errors, which in the end greatly affects the result.

The main errors when installing projectors are divided into two groups:

• incorrect installation of the equipment itself;
• inaccurate or erroneous calculations of geometric distances.

Wrong installation

Errors directly during the installation work are as follows.

1. Selected unsuitable bracket for fastening design equipment: it does not correspond to the model of the product being installed or is not designed for the material of the wall or ceiling to which it should be fixed.
   

2. The fact that the length of an hdmi cable can be only a few meters is ignored. Exceeding this parameter results in the complete absence or distortion of the original signal, and to avoid this, it is necessary to use special technical devices.
3. In addition to the screen and the projector itself, the required additional details are not taken into account (for example, hdmi-cable,hdmi-splitter, hdmi-receiver, hdmi-transmitter, AV-receiver, connectors and power cables), which makes unplanned expenses.
   

4. The bracket does not stand correctly - its rod is not placed at the right angle to the vertical plane.
5. Not taken into account power network 220V to a video projector, which causes a number of complications with the construction of electrical wiring.
6. It remains ugly to hang wires.

The ideal option for laying electrical wiring indoors is its hidden location or placement in a special cable channel.

Making wrong calculations

Errors in the calculation geometrical dimensions associated with inaccurate or incorrect calculation of the following parameters:

• optimal projection distance (distance of the projector from the screen);
• vertical displacement of the video projector, showing the angle with which the projected image is tilted;
• installation height of the projector equipment, which determines at what minimum distance up from the center point of the screen it should be;
• precise horizontal positioning of the projector in relation to the screen.

In addition, many mistakenly believe that the device projects the output image directly in front of its own lens. Minor deviations in the calculations or incorrect installation will lead to problems with the design: the borders of the image will not coincide with the perimeter of the screen, and the displayed picture will go beyond its borders.

All that is required for high-quality installation of the projector is to contact specialists of the Sub Project company. With an impeccable reputation, she has been working in the information technology market for more than 3 years. Experienced employees find the optimal solution for the client from any situation in the shortest possible time.

All installation work is carried out by specialists in a comprehensive manner, while respecting the requirements of the relevant GOST, SNiP, recommendations of equipment manufacturers. Also, the customer can order additional equipment maintenance: replacement of lamps, cleaning lenses or filters, and so on.

Projector Mounting Rules

The installation of a video projector can be divided into two separate stages:

• fixing on the wall of the screen;
• installation of projector equipment.

Modern models of video projectors can display a reproducible image on a screen diagonal of 2.54 meters (100 inches). For convenience, it is recommended to use those types of them that can be turned off (resembling blinds). At the same time the sizes of cloths should correspond with the area of ​​the room. In order not to suffer image clarity, it is recommended to choose a place on the wall for the installation of the screen that is not directly illuminated by sunlight.

It happens that you want to hang the screen cloth on the ceiling. The work is carried out in a similar way, as with the wall mount, but only this option is more difficult to implement in practice. In some cases, for example, when the room is small in size, it is convenient to hang the video projector first and then the screen to it.

The important point is the correct choice of the bracket: it must withstand the mass of the installed device, to fit its model size.

Often, indoor ceilings are not concrete, but from other materials and of different designs, for example, from plasterboard, modular type or stretch. Such options are problem cases.Work has to be very careful not to damage the ceiling. All activities involve the need to modify or reinforce the existing structure. In this case, you need to know how to properly attach the bracket in each case. Working errors can lead to the need to rework the entire ceiling, causing significant unforeseen cash expenses.

If a stretch ceiling, then without special tools and skills can not do. In this case, only specialists are able to correctly perform the installation work.
