PALADIN LENS ADJUSTMENTS
The following steps provide an optimum balance between Paladin Lens tilt and
height combined with the projector vertical lens shift setting.
a. Immediately after installing the lens a shift of the image up or down may be
expected. Starting with zero tilt of the Paladin Lens, adjust the height so that the
entire projector beam passes through.
b. Play a movie with a known 2.4:1 aspect ratio rather than using the projector test
pattern. Adjust the Paladin Lens tilt to adjust the vertical dimension of the image
in combination with adjusting the projector vertical lens shift to vertically center
the image on the screen. You may need to do these steps several times for the
best adjustment. After these adjustments you may need to adjust the height of
the Paladin Lens again to make sure the entire projector beam passes through.
c. Slightly loosen the two Thumb Knobs and pivot the Lens Bracket about the
vertical axis to make the right and left sides of the image appear symmetric. You
may also need to add a washer or two between the Attachment Plate and the
Lens Bracket to make sure the Lens Bracket is square with the screen.
PHOENIX LENS ADJUSTMENTS
a. Adjust both the height AND tilt so that
the front of the Phoenix Lens is
approximately facing the vertical center
of the screen AND so the projector beam
is approximately vertically centered at
the Lens exit. Once this adjustment is
made, tighten the Bracket Screws.
b. Make a final adjustment to the Phoenix lens tilt so that there is a similar but
opposite amount of curvature (this may be slight) at the top and bottom of the
image then tighten the two Lens Tilt screws on both sides of the lens to lock in
the tilt.
c. Slightly loosen the two Thumb Knobs (or M6 screws if a transport is used) and
pivot the Lens Bracket about the vertical axis to center the image on the screen
and to make the image appear symmetric. You may also need to add a washer
