OUTDOOR PROJECTOR INSTALLATIONS

Installing Outdoor Projectors

A projector is necessary to complete any home theater viewing experience, and outdoor home theaters are no exception. Outdoor projectors can be installed on just about any outside wall or patio ceiling in your backyard. For higher picture quality at a comfortable viewing distance, you have to decide on the scale of the screen, the angle of projection, and what projector mounting method to use. Correct installation is incredibly important, as a misaligned projector will produce a skewed image.

A projector can be mounted on a variety of outdoor surfaces. External walls and ceilings are the most popular surfaces, since they are easily accessible and have a durable structure. Before choosing a location to mount your projector, remember that the distance between the projector and the screen must be precisely calculated.

When selecting an outdoor projector, throw is important. Throw is the distance that the projector needs to be from the movie screen. Shelf-mount style projectors have a range of throws. Of these, a short-throw projector is a good choice if the viewing area is limited. This type of projector can be easily installed on a patio. There are also long-throw projectors, and these are ideal for large outdoor locations.

Projector orientation determines the quality and fidelity of the final image or video output. We highly recommend professional installers for outdoor projector installations. An expert installer can set up the projector lens on a level that is parallel to the ground, ensuring that the projected image is proportional on all sides and of good quality.

Outdoor projector installations are a great way to enjoy a projection system setup without worrying about overheating the projector. Because projector lamps produce heat, they require proper ventilation to prevent overheating and equipment failure. In an outdoor installation, the device gets great ventilation and performs well. However, since it is placed outside, it has to be protected against extreme weather conditions, dust, scratches, and theft. Our installation experts will ensure that your projector is optimally situated for both image quality and protection from the elements.
