What's the throw distance for an exceptional viewing experience?
The throw ratio, or projection ratio, is 0.233:1. This ultra-short throw ratio allows the projector to produce large images even when placed close to the projection surface, making it ideal for use in smaller rooms or spaces that can’t support the longer distance that traditional projectors require.
Yes, you can adjust the image size using the zoom in/out function on the remote control.
The projector offers 2400 Peak Lumens brightness which is much higher than other projectors on the market and brings a much clearer image even if used in daylight. However, for the best visual experience, it is recommended to be used in dark light.
Yes, the projector supports Dolby Vision so you can enjoy stunning HDR content with lifelike colors, brightness, and contrast.
Infrared(IR) Pairing：
There are infrared (IR) sensors at the front center of the projector and on the remote. If you choose to use this method to control the projector, it has a maximum range of 26 feet.
Bluetooth Pairing (Recommended)：
Ensure that the remote is within a few feet of the front of the projector before pairing. Press and hold the Return and Menu buttons simultaneously for at least 3s to put the remote control into pairing mode with the projector. If the pairing is successful, the screen will show "The Remote is connected".
Note:
- If the Bluetooth connection is disabled, you will need to re-pair the remote in order to continue using it via Bluetooth.
- Do not place objects in front of the projector's IR sensor. This may prevent the sensor from operating properly.
- The IR sensor on the remote, like all IR sensors, can be interfered with by extremely bright light sources. If the remote is not working properly, make sure that there are no bright lights shining on them.
Yes, the Aurora Pro supports 3D playback in various formats, including frame packing, frame sequential, left and right, and top and bottom.
Yes.
1. Please find 4 x M4 screw holes on the bottom of the projector for mounting on the ceiling.
2. The projector's mounting holes are M4 x 14mm in size. The distance between these mounting holes on the back of the projector measures 13.1" diagonally, 11.7" horizontally, and 5.9" vertically. You could find a suitable ceiling mount based on these specifications.
