rear projection

Rear projection in the majority of theatres is very difficult, as there is normally not enough "throw" from the projector to the screen. What is the longest distance the projector could be placed from the screen. However if u do happen to have enough throw, rear projection works well. Most projectors have the option of rear projection. There are a couple of ways you could get any problems Still using the rear-projection idea u could try and get a long-throw lense. This may help your situation if u have little room. Or, by bouncing the image onto a mirror and then onto your screen can double the optical length. This is fiddly to set up, but can work wonders if u are confined to a small space. I have had to use the above method many times when comic acts want projection, but from the rear, and as we have no room for the rear projection, projecting onto a mirror, then to the cyc worked a treat.
