UST Projector Home Theatre Installation
Ultra short throw projectors can create a large image from a position close to the wall, making them useful when a conventional ceiling-mounted projector is not practical.
Where UST projectors work well
UST systems can be attractive for living rooms and spaces where ceiling mounting is difficult. They need careful alignment because the image travels only a short distance before reaching the screen.
Minimal ceiling mounting
The projector can sit on a low cabinet or dedicated console instead of hanging from the ceiling.
Large image
Many UST systems are designed for large-screen viewing from a short throw position.
Screen pairing
A compatible fixed-frame or UST-oriented screen can improve image performance in brighter rooms.

Plan the screen and projector together
UST projectors are less forgiving of installation errors than many conventional setups. SLV plans the projector, screen and viewing position as one system before installation.
