The projector’s image alignment screen appears when you start your projector the first time, or you can access it from the startup screen menu any time.
10 smarttech.com/kb/170510
C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document and the image alignment screen to adjust the projected image size, shape and location so that you can see the full projected image clearly. Don’t use other images, which might be cropped or scaled by the projector and result in a misleading projected image size, shape, and location.
When adjusting keystone (tilt), ensure that the top and bottom edges of the image are horizontal before you position the left and right edges of the image relative to your interactive whiteboard.
To fine-tune the image, you might need to repeat all steps described in the installation document in smaller increments.

N O T E
Your projector is HD Ready. Its native resolution supports a pixel-perfect display of 720p source content. However, because the projector compresses 1080p source content to fit its native resolution, it doesn’t support a pixel-perfect display of 1080p source content.
