HDP2300 Throw Distance:

Thank you for choosing Knoll projectors! We have been making video projectors for nearly 20 years. Our new line of projectors includes several new features including MaxPlay™ (our newest processor/imager combination) and 2-HD™ lens shift (allows projector to be mounted off center without losing any resolution).

The HDP2300 features a high definition 16:9 aspect ratio imager. It can display a wide range of formats from standard TV, extended definition TV through high-definition TV and films as well as computer images. Its all glass lens allows for a wide level amount of zooming.

The video optimized brightness at D65 is a minimum of 1600 ANSI lumens. This is more than 5 times brighter than a commercial movie screen image. The HDP2300 is future proof with HDMI 1.3b with DeepColor™ support (can display over 1 billion colors) and BrilliantColor™.

2-HD™ lens shift allows the HDP2300 to be easily mounted as it does not need to be at "just the right height" and in the horizontal middle of the screen. Older designs with just digital keystone can be offset as well but always lose image definition when keystone is activated. Lens shift allows projector placement offset without losing image resolution. For more extreme cases the HDP23200 has digital keystone.

The Knoll CM32 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. For fine-tuning the drop the CM25EX adjustable extender is available. It drops the projector a further 6.75” to 11” (17cm to 28cm).

Projection throw distances are the maximum and minimum horizontal distances from the projector lens to the screen. The projector is shipped with a standard lens. Long and short throw lens are available optionally.

If the projection distances below are not close enough or not far enough, Navitar makes excellent quality after market lens distance adaptors. Click here to go to the Navitar web site.

HDP2300 Standard Lens Projection Throw Distance 16:9 Video Screen:

MAXIMUM DISTANCE TO SCREEN (16:9) = 1.681 x SCREEN DIAGONAL SIZE
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO SCREEN (16:9) = 1.343 x SCREEN DIAGONAL SIZE
SCREEN OFFSET (IMAGE DROP OR RISE) (16:9) = Nearly any offset can be handled by Knoll 2-HD lens shift.

HDP2300 Optional Long Throw Lens Projection Throw Distance 16:9 Video Screen:

MAXIMUM DISTANCE TO SCREEN (16:9) = 2.521 x SCREEN DIAGONAL SIZE
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO SCREEN (16:9) = 1.683 x SCREEN DIAGONAL SIZE
SCREEN OFFSET (IMAGE DROP OR RISE) (16:9) = Nearly any offset can be handled by Knoll 2-HD lens shift.

HDP2300 Optional Fixed Short Throw Lens Projection Throw Distance 16:9 Video Screen:

DISTANCE TO SCREEN (16:9) FROM THE FRONT OF THE PROJECTOR LENS = 0.671 SCREEN DIAGONAL SIZE
SCREEN OFFSET (IMAGE DROP OR RISE) (16:9) = Nearly any offset can be handled by Knoll 2-HD lens shift.

All chart distances above are in inches. Metric distances are on the screen calculator. To convert from inches to centimeters, multiply the distances in inches by 2.54. We suggest you do not mount projectors at their extreme minimum or maximum zoom limits wherever possible. A longer throw distance generally gives a better overall picture quality.
