How to use GoboTopPlus effectively
Ambient light conditions
The best and most brilliant image projections can be achieved in darkness or low ambient light. Daylight or direct sunlight are much brighter than artificial lighting and will outshine any projected image. Avoid directing spotlights or lamps at the projection surface for optimal results.
Suitable projection surfaces
With GoboTopPlus, it is possible to create front and rear projections. Surfaces for front projection must be opaque and light-coloured. Walls and floors with a white, matt surface are most suitable. Merchandise that is displayed for sale, decoration items or furniture can also be used as projection surfaces. Mirrors, glass panes or reflective metallic surfaces are not suitable for front projection. Coloured surfaces may have a negative effect on colour rendition of the image. For rear projections (translucent projection), semi-transparent materials, i. e.
frosted glass, milk glass, transparent tissue, paper, are required. For a translucent projection
GoboTopPlus must be placed behind the projection surface. The projected image is visible on both sides of the surface.
Image sizes at increasing distances
As a rule, image size increases with distance, whereas contrast and brightness decrease. In normal ambient light, GoboTopPlus displays images over short projection distances, from
0.5–1.5 meter. Greater projection distances can be achieved in low ambient light or darkness.
Image size can only be adjusted by varying the distance between projector and projection surface. Before permanent installation, make sure the image size meets your requirements.
