— Projector Throw · Auditorium
Large venue - 180-inch WUXGA screen
Problem. A training hall or auditorium needs a 180-inch 16:10 screen with enough brightness and lens flexibility for a long-throw ceiling position.
Answer. The preset starts with a 180-inch 16:10 image and a high-output large-venue laser projector, so the calculator opens on the class of equipment that can realistically support a bright auditorium image.
02 / In depth
How this preset reads — the engineering view.
Large-venue projection is usually constrained by mount position, not wish-list screen size. A 180-inch screen needs brightness headroom, lens flexibility and a structural ceiling or projection-room location that can accept the required throw distance.
This preset uses a WUXGA 16:10 screen because lecture, training and control-room content often prioritises spreadsheets, dashboards and presentation sources over film. The calculator shows the throw envelope and estimated brightness before the team commits to a mount zone.
At this scale, interchangeable-lens projectors need the exact lens selected before final BOQ. The preset is useful for early planning, but the final mount drawing should reference the manufacturer's lens table and the chosen screen gain.
Out of scope: rigging certification, projector hush-box ventilation, dual-projector redundancy, image processing and long-run signal transport. Those belong in the venue AV design package after the screen and throw envelope are agreed.
What this preset deliberately does not solve
- Large-venue projectors often need lens-specific mount calculations before tendering.
- Screen gain and ambient light at the screen plane can change the brightness result materially.
- Rigging, ventilation and signal transport are venue-design tasks, not throw-calculator outputs.
How this preset differs from its siblings
The boardroom preset is a compact daily-use room with a 100-inch screen and a fixed business projector class. This large-venue preset is a different scale: 180 inches, WUXGA content, higher lumen target and often an interchangeable-lens workflow. It is meant to start auditorium planning, not replace the lens schedule in the final AV package.
