Projector Throw
Throw distance from lens throw ratio + screen width. Zoom lenses give a range.
Screen width from diagonal
Computed width fills the screen-width field above.
Screen Size
Diagonal โ width ร height for common aspect ratios.
Area: โ
Power / Amperage
Watts โ amps, and how much fits on a circuit (continuous load capped at 80%).
Safe continuous capacity (80%)
โ
Audio Delay
Delay-tower / speaker time alignment. Sound โ 343 m/s (1125 ft/s) at 20 ยฐC.
Also useful: SPL drops ~6 dB per doubling of distance (inverse-square).
LED Wall
Physical size + resolution from panel count & pixel pitch. Plus optimal viewing distance.
Optimal viewing distance โ โ (pitch-mm rule of thumb). Total pixels: โ
Cable Run Limits
Max recommended run before you need an extender, HDBaseT, or fiber.
Video Bandwidth
Data rate for a video format โ which SDI standard & HDMI version carries it.
Approximate (raw uncompressed). Real SDI maps 10-bit 4:2:2; treat as a sizing guide.
dB / Gain
Convert between a ratio and decibels. Voltage uses 20ยทlog, power uses 10ยทlog.
Type in either box โ the other updates. 2ร voltage โ +6 dB; 2ร power โ +3 dB.
