      The installation work should be performed by at least two (2) qualified installers.

    • Ceiling Mount Precautions

      1. The ceiling bracket is designed specifically for mounting a FOCUS to a ceiling. Do NOT attempt to mount additional items to the provided mount, as the additional weight may result in damage and/or failure.
      2. Do NOT install the ceiling bracket in a location where vibration or impact shock may occur. This may result in damage to or failure of the mount.
      3. Prior to installing the ceiling bracket, make sure the ceiling area is strong enough to hold the FOCUS and ceiling bracket and projector. If the ceiling area is not strong enough, reinforce the area prior to installation.
      4. Never modify the ceiling bracket, assembly components,projector, or FOCUS.
      5. Do NOT install the ceiling mount and FOCUS and projector in a location where the operating temperature for the FOCUS may be exceeded. Excessive temperatures may damage the FOCUS. Install the ceiling bracket in a place free from excessive dust and humidity to prevent the lens or optical components of the FOCUS from becoming clouded or dirty.
      6. DO NOT use excessive force when adjusting the ceiling bracket or FOCUS or projector.

    • Components

      1. Handle and install the power cord carefully. Incorrect installation may result fire or electric shock. Observe the following precautions when installing:
      • Do not handle any electrical components with wet hands.
      • Do not use a power cord that appears to be damaged or modified.
      1. Tighten all screws firmly alter installation and final adjustment.
      • Do NOT use adhesives, lubricants, or oils to install and/or adjust the ceiling bracket.
      • Do NOT loosen the screws alter installation.
      • When performing electrical installation, make sure that no wiring comes into contact with mounting or assembly screws.

  • CHECK ACCESSORIES

    Check Accessories

     

    PLEASE NOTE: This installation package does NOT include screws for securing the FOCUS mount into the ceiling. Selected installation screws must be able to support a minimum of 50 lbs.

    • Identify Camera Points

      Identify camera points with a laser marker.


      The FOCUS should be placed so that the center of the camera is 23⁄4" below the tee. Therefore, a laser marker is used to locate the exact camera point.

    • Projector Angle

       

      • The further the projector is from the FOCUS, the more angle is required.
      • If the angle is large, it is recommended to hang from the wall instead of the ceiling.

    • Projector Orientation To FOCUS

      • Place the projector so that projector lens is facing the center of the shot mat.

       

      Orientation To FOCUS

  • PROJECTOR SETUP

    For FOCUS to accurately perform the projection mapping, it is necessary to understand that:

    1. The aspect ratio of the projector is set to 16:9
    2. The projector has a correct keystone adjusted for the projected image
    3. The projector mounting bracket allows projector to be tilted for the projector calibration
    4. For the size of the image of the projection mapping, the width of the projected image is approximately the same for the width of the shot mat.
    5. The height of the ceiling to which the projector is to be mounted matches the throw-distance available with projector used.
