Here are the four essential metrics you need to master for projection mapping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resolution (X; Y):<\/strong> This is the exact number of horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) pixels that make up your image. <em>Example: 1920 x 1080.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aspect Ratio (X\/Y or W\/H):<\/strong> This is the ratio between the width and height of your image, which depends directly on your chosen resolution. <em>Example: A 1920 x 1080 resolution creates a 16:9 aspect ratio.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pitch (X\/W or Y\/H):<\/strong> This defines the physical size of a single pixel on your wall. At the exact same resolution, the more you enlarge the image, the larger each pixel becomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PPI (Pixels Per Inch):<\/strong> Calculated using the formula <code>25.4 \/ PITCH (mm)<\/code>. This measures your overall pixel density and image sharpness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Adjust Your Image for the Audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The closer your audience is to the projection, the smaller the pitch needs to be to prevent a blurry, pixelated look. To achieve a smaller pitch, you have two options: <strong>increase the projector&#8217;s resolution<\/strong> ou <strong>reduce the physical image size<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Golden Rule:<\/strong> If your audience is 5 meters away from the projection surface, you should aim for a minimum PPI of 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Tired of calculating aspect ratios manually?<\/strong> HeavyM&#8217;s intuitive interface automatically adapts to your projector&#8217;s native resolution and output. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=%23\">Download the HeavyM free trial<\/a> and focus on your creativity, not the math!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perguntas frequentes (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-323\"><strong>What does throw ratio mean for projectors?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-323\">Throw ratio is the relationship between the projection distance and the width of the projected image. It helps you determine exactly how far back your projector needs to be to cover your specific projection surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-324\"><strong>How do I calculate the lumens needed for projection mapping?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-324\">A reliable field formula is to multiply your ambient light (in Lux) by 3, and then multiply that number by your total projection surface area in square meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-325\"><strong>Should I use the projector&#8217;s built-in keystone feature?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-325\">It should only be used as a last resort. Extreme keystone adjustments via the projector hardware can degrade image quality and add latency. It is highly recommended to physically place the projector correctly and use professional video mapping software like HeavyM to handle warping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-326\"><strong>What is the difference between Lens Shift and Zoom?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a45010364bb7787-326\">Zoom changes the size of the projected image without moving the unit. Lens shift physically moves the optical block to shift the image vertically or horizontally without causing trapezoidal distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does audience distance affect projection mapping resolution?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The closer your audience is to the projection, the higher the pixel density (PPI) needs to be to avoid a pixelated image. If you enlarge an image without increasing the resolution, the physical size of each pixel (the pitch) grows. As a general guideline, if your audience is 5 meters away, you should aim for a minimum of 10 Pixels Per Inch (PPI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR Choosing a projector for video mapping requires calculating the throw ratio (distance divided by image width) to select the correct lens.
