WHAT IS THE BEAM SIZE CALCULATOR?

The Beam Size Calculator is used to easily calculate the size of a projector light beam for a given projected image size.
The calculator allows the user to specify the required image size and up to four locations from the projector lens to be analysed.
The report illustrates the calculated width and height of the beam at each of the specifed locations.
