Material Tip
Proper Projector Placement for DarkStar® UST
The DarkStar® UST is exclusively for table-mounted ultra-short throw projectors as illustrated in example 1 below. Overhead placement or a standard projector will make the image very dark, on account of the screen’s absorbent layer deflecting light that is not aligned with its reflective angle.
Example 1: Proper Projector Installation

Example 2: Improper Projector Installation
