Keystone Adjustments What is Keystoning? “Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square. Digital Keystone Adjustments By adding a special, selectable, algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens. The result is a squared image, even at an angle.
Keystone Adjustments FAQ How to Correct Keystone • If the image looks trapezoidal with the base larger (as pictured right), press the bottom button on the directional pad on the top of the P450 until the keystone effect corrects and the picture turns into a square projection. • If the image looks trapezoidal with the top larger (as pictured right), press the top button on the directional pad on the top of the P450 until the keystone effect corrects and the picture turns into a square projection.
