A short throw projector is the perfect solution for limited spaces such as exhibition booths, classrooms, and simulation setups. These projectors can deliver large, clear images even when placed close to the screen, making them ideal for environments where space is restricted.
Most short throw projectors feature a throw ratio between 0.49 and 0.83. This means they can project a 100-inch (2.2m wide) image from only 1.1m away. Compared to standard projectors, this requires roughly half the distance for the same screen size.
Depending on the model, short throw projectors can produce images ranging from 50 inches up to 300 inches, providing flexibility for different applications.
Short throw projectors are widely used in:
Short throw projectors require a flat and stable projection surface to deliver the best image quality.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to use:
Standard non-tensioned screens may already have slight waves or surface inconsistencies. Due to the projection angle and wide-angle lens design of short throw projectors, these imperfections become highly visible, causing image distortion, shadowing, or artefacts on the screen.
Always ensure the screen or projection surface is perfectly flat and suitable for short throw projection to avoid image quality issues.
