Bulbs & Projectors:
What happened: The image on my board is askew?
1. You (or your site coordinator/custodian) might have to manually adjust
the projector, if: (1) your projected image is slightly off the bottom or
top of the board and/or (2) it is off the board to the left or to the right.
This can be a problem with the ceiling mounted Hitachi projectors.
2. For the All-in-One ACTIVboards (A+2) with the orange projectors, the
support arm can shift slightly from side to side. You can gently
reposition (it does not move much) the arm to center the image on the
screen.
3. You can also adjust the Keystone. For the Hitachi projectors you will
have to press menu to get to keystone adjustment. For the
Sanyo/Promethean projectors, the keystone option is on the remote
control.
NOTE: The projected image never completely fills the whole board. There
is always a gap (small one)
on the sides.
