Can the emitter be placed behind seating area where the projector is? Or does it need to be in front of the viewers so that we are facing it?

I have optoma HD 25 E projector and Zonic DLP glasses Can this emitter work for them
912332
the emitter plugs into the projector so yes if the projector is behind your seating area
912333
Yes mine is resting on my projector (on the ceiling above/behind the couch)

I looked up the spec sheets on this system. According to Optoma, this emitter works up to 150 feet from the glasses. The newer emitter (Optoma BC300 emitter) and glasses (Optoma ZF2300 Glasses) have a much more limited range, 50 feet. According to the spec sheets, both the older and newer emitter and glasses will work with my Optoma HD25e projector, and with several other older and newer Optoma projectors. There are no line of site issues with any of these RF glasses or emitters.

Since this is a radio frequency emitter, it can be placed either in front or back, on either side of the projector. The cord that connects it to the projector isn't very long, so anywhere the cord can reach should work. And it doesn't have to be in the line of sight, either, unlike infrared emitters. There is a limit on the range, 70 feet, I think. I have used it a good 20 feet from the emitter and it works just as well there.

Yes. I use the same exact set up. Just remember that it's a short throw projector and will need to be about 5ft (give or take) away from the screen.

I have mine set for 10 feet away to project about a 45 inch screen. I bought a pull-down blind at Home depot for $50 that covers 7 feet by 5. Much cheaper than a projection screen.

In my point of view it will not. I have a projector, too. The silver side has a kind of not smooth surface, and the silver tone is a little bit dark that both, combined, for sure will influence the final screen result. Unless you fix a blank sheet on it. In a matter of resistance and weight the item is very hard.

No have projector myself. I use this shelf as center channel only would not recommend as a projector shelf .hope this info helps you.

the projector works great! However you will need to hook it up to another sound Device for everyone to hear a room that size.

I love mine. I am not sure how one would hear fan noise over any theater system. The benefit of led is no heat, so minimal fan. Whoever commented can't have a projector with led light source.

Keep in mind short or ultra short throw projectors (1.5ft to 4ft) may complicate the installation

You'll have to place some supports on the corners for that to work. That is the setup I have right now, without the supports the projector would wobble since that surface isn't flat. Not to mention that the buttons would be pressed unexpectedly.

As I commented previously, I solve this by raising the screen, so the table surface is level. However, at the maximum tilt allowed, I don't believe a projector would slide off. Most projectors have rubber feet. A one inch drop in about a 15 inch run is not extreme. Do a test for yourself and I think you'll reach the same conclusion.

If you place the projector on a table or shelf, the "bottom" of the image will be "above" the center-line of the lens, if you ceiling mount it, the "top" of the image will be "below" the center-line of the lens. because the projector is upside-down so to speak. How much offset distance above or below the center-line of the lens depends on your throw length and it can be found on a projector calculator online. (Ex. http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-HD20-projection-calculator-pro.htm) So to answer your question, based on your setup specs, yes the image will be on the ceiling if you do not invert the projector at that particular height. Its highly recommended you try and ceiling mount any projector if at all possible. But if you cant ceiling mount, you will need to get it alot lower and in doing so make sure nothing obstructs the light path like furniture, people, etc. Most people who go the table route put it on a coffee table in front of them, then store it away when not in use. Final note, some users will try and cheat on table/shelf setups which are too high and prop the rear legs of the projector up to get the image off the ceiling, this causes what is called "keystone effect" and should be avoided at all costs. Best case scenario, the projector should always be perfectly level with the ground if at all possible, give or take 5 degrees on the y-axis.

My experience with screens goes back many years where I started with film projectors. I used large bedsheets, painted walls, almost anything that was flat and didn't have a pattern printed on it. I learned that if you want to get the best detail and brightness out of a projected image, use a beaded screen. I know other surfaces are available and other situations may exist that would require other alternatives such as needing to have your speakers mounted behind the screen. A solid beaded material might not work as well.

The only downside for a home install is having enough room. The projector needs to be about 15 ft away (thats my guestimate) from the wall in order to focus properly. But it's a solid projector that is VERY bright. We've had no trouble with ours.

I usually set my projector back about 15-20 feet front or rear. It's a great screen!!!

There is no reason the projector can't be positioned vertically (so that it faces down) if you can find a way to hold it in place. (Shouldn't be too difficult). Same with the images you want to trace. The image size limit is 3.25"x 3.5". For larger images, you'll need to move the projector to finish it. Moving side to side is doable but forward or backward changes the size of the image, meaning it won't match the first part you trace. I found I need the projector to be about 4-5' away from the surface I'm transferring to to get a sharp image. Also, the room will need to be dark for the sharpest image.

Yes. I would also call this more of an "Ultra Short Throw" projector given that it is best installed at roughly 2 feet away from the wall it is projecting on to.

The glossy side should face your projector. The mat finish helps imitate glare and proves the width of the viewing angle for those seeing the image from the front side.
