@CraigThanks!!!... and I do this *after* installing the lens, right?
Yes, but have to make sure projector is first set up with the screen, so that everything is lined up correctly. Then add the lens.
Is there the perfect hight and tilt angle for the Paladin DCR, that minimizes barrel distortion AND preserves the perfect grid allignment?I've been experimenting a lot with both but couldn't find the perfect solution yet... Anyone?
Did you use the installation guide?
Sure I did. Thoroughly.But I either get better geometry OR better panel alignment. Not both. So I was wondering...
What is your throw ratio ? Are you at minimum throw distance like I am ?
With 1.82:1 I should be fine, I guess...
You'll need to play with it a bit .
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy with the result that I've found after like two full days of "playing" with adjusting the lens position. And I have almost no barrel distortion now.And I found that keeping the hight of the Paladin as centered to the projector's beam output (not the lens itself) as possible and as little tilt (in relation to the center of the beam itself) as possible is a good start.But there might be other ideas in this group so I asked...
A couple of photos of my DCR lens / mount. Love this lens and the outstanding picture it provides !
Looks great....out of my affordability range at this point
