HD177 Throw Distance
Thank you for choosing Knöll projectors! There are two versions of the HD177, those
shipped after November 1, 2004 and before. Please note that the lens assembly is
different and therefore the throw distances are different.

The HD177 is a state of the art projector with a high resolution 16:9 digital light processing
chips to give bright clear images and display movies in a format similar to the one they were
filmed in. Its Carl Zeiss lens allows for a wide level amount of zooming (1:1.25).

The HD177 projector is designed only for use with 16:9 aspect ratio screens. 4:3 images can
safely be displayed on the 16:9 screens. Some screens have moveable screen width curtains
that can be controlled by the HD177 dual trigger outputs.

The Knöll CM25 ceiling mount kit is easy to install and swivels for exact placement. It drops
the projector about 3" and the projector lens is about 6" from the ceiling. If more of a drop
is needed, the CM20+6 extender adds an extra 6" drop. As many CM20+6 can be added as
needed.

The most frequently asked questions concerning DLP projectors are:
How much can the projector be tilted down (when ceiling mounting) or up (when floor
mounted)?
About 20 degrees. The HD177 has a digital adjustable keystone but for best overall image
the HD177 projector should ideally be level if the screen is vertical (which is usually the
case).

Is the width of the 4:3 image the same as the 16:9 image?
No. The HD177 has 16:9 imager and displays 16:9 or widescreen images using its full width of
1024 pixels by 576 pixels high. When displaying 4:3 images it still uses all of its 576 pixels in
height but the image width is reduced to 768 pixels. Black bars are added on the sides of the
image.

Projection throw distances are the maximum and minimum horizontal
distances from the projector lens to the screen. If the projector is mounted
level (this is strongly recommended) the image will drop (ceiling mounted
projector) or rise (floor mounted projector).
