Re: New basement HT Posting progress photos


Can someone tell me that since it does not matter how far back I place the projector, based on the projector central calculator for an 120 screen I can be as far back as 24'6" for that size screen. That places the lens just inside the back wall. Wonder if I can place it in the wall or behind it a bit and project the full length of the room? I have an 11" 1/2" soffet to go around and probably have to be careful that peoples heads do not obstruct the view. But the Panasonic 200U has a movable lense to compensate for placement. The room is at 6'7 1/2" where the duck is, that is from about 14' and extends back 5' (Finished). Problem is it says (riser calculator) that I need to be up 15" (at least) for the rear seating. Let see, that may not work unless the dispersion is minimal in the first 10 feet. Not sure if I am better with the camera in front or above the first row seat of behind or above the rear row seating. This is all making me crazy!
