Which Size should I choose for my Sliding Projector Mount?
Use this simple formula to calculate the Sliding Range for the Projector:
(Span Length - 11" = Projector Sliding Range)
-
Our standard lengths of 16", 24", 32", or 48" allow you to anchor the SkyRail™ to your ceiling joists/studs at both ends if your studs run parallel to your screen. Just make sure of your stud spacing when ordering. These models position the mounting slots on precise centers for the easiest installation possible!
- Choose the 48 inch span if you plan to use your projector in both 4:3 and 16:9/16:10 aspect ratios, or need the maximum slide range possible. The projector slide range will be 37".
Custom track lengths and widths are also possible... just give us a call!
Frequently Asked Questions about the SkyRail™ Sliding Projector Mount
-
How do I install the SkyRail Sliding Projector Mount?
-
Find the "Projector Center Line"
Position your projector on the floor such that the projected image is centered on your screen left-to-right. Measure the distance from the nearest side wall to the middle of the projector to find the "Projector Center Line".
Note that unless the lens is in the middle of your projector, the Projector Center Line will be offset from the center of your screen.
-
Find the "Approximate Throw Distance"
Locate the advertised "throw distance" for your projector, screen size , and aspect ratio (available on all projector websites). If you are uncertain you can simply position the projector on the floor at a point that fills the complete screen width.
This position does not need to be exact.... just get it "close".
-
Mark the "SkyRail™ Center Point" on your ceiling
Make a pencil mark on your ceiling along the "Projector Center Line" at the "Approximate Throw Distance" point. This is where you will place the center of the SkyRail.
- Center the SkyRail™ on the SkyRail™ Center Point, half way between the two rails and with the slots aligned with your studs. If your studs are perpendicular to your screen then try to catch a stud with at least one screw in each slot.
- Mark the ceiling holes through the SkyRail™ slots and drill the holes.
- Bolt the unit to your ceiling and attach your projector.
- Adjust the SkyRail™ and projector as needed to get the perfect fill on your screen before tightening the ceiling bolts.
