Rear screen installations There are two basic types of rear screens diffused and optical A diffusion screen has a surface that spreads the light striking it Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than 1 The main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle similar to that of a flat screen for front screen projection This type of screen is suitable when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting Optical screens take light from the projector and redirect it to increase the light intensity at the front of the screen This reduces it in other areas A viewing cone similar to that of a curved front screen installation is created This type of screen is better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audience is situated within the viewing cone 3 4 Vidikron Vision Model 90 Owner s Operating Manual Installation Screen Size Choose a screen size that is appropriate for your lens and application The size of the room and viewing distance are the defining factors a rule of thumb is that the primary viewing distance be 1 5 times the screen width To fill a screen with an image the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image expressed as the ratio of its width to its height Standard video from a VCR has a 4 3 or 1 33 1 aspect ratio For example to display a VCR output with a 4 3 aspect ratio onto a 10 foot 3 05 meter high screen the width of the screen must be at
