Short Throw

What is Short Throw?

Short throw refers to a type of projector that is designed to project a large image from a short distance away from the projection surface.

A short throw projector typically has a throw ratio of less than 1.0, meaning that it can project a large image from a distance that is less than the diagonal width of the screen. Short throw projectors are often used in smaller rooms or spaces where there is limited distance between the projector and the screen, such as classrooms, boardrooms, and home theaters. They are also useful for reducing the amount of shadow cast by the presenter or speaker, as the projector can be placed closer to the screen without obstructing the audience's view. Short throw projectors are available in both lamp-based and solid-state models, and can be used with a variety of projection surfaces, including walls, whiteboards, and screens. They may also offer additional features, such as keystone correction, zoom, and lens shift, to adjust the image and optimize the projection for the specific space. Overall, short throw projectors are a useful option for projecting large images in small or limited spaces, and can provide a convenient and flexible solution for a variety of presentation and entertainment needs.
