Click For Summary
The projector in a cinema theater can be positioned in various locations, including the top left corner, center, or top right corner of the wall. However, the optimal position depends on the alignment with the screen and viewer seating. Adjustments can be made if the projector's lens system allows for offset positioning while maintaining parallel alignment with the film and screen. Techniques similar to those used in large format cameras can help correct for perspective issues. Proper placement is crucial for achieving the best viewing experience.

TL;DR
Projector location in Cinema Theater.
The projector location in Cinema Theater can be positioned in Top left corner, Center, Top Right corner etc?

I mean Can the projector location in a Cinema Theater can be anywhere at the top of the wall?

Attached Screenshot.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. There is obviously an optimum position for the projector in a movie theater with respect to the screen position and the positions of the movie viewer seats.

Can you please post more details for your question and maybe some sketches to explain the positions you are asking about?

The projector can be anywhere if the geometry of the lens system can be offset sideways, while still remaining parallel with both the film and the screen.

Large format cameras sometimes support the same technique to correct for perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle

Hi, I'd ask for clarification about some topics on angular momentum calculation. Consider a system of particles moving w.r.t. a given inertial frame ##\mathcal A##. Picked a point ##P## in ##\mathcal A## one defines the angular momentum vector ##\vec L## w.r.t. the reference point/pole P. Furthermore one defines the axial angular momentum ##L_a## as the component along ##a## of the system's angular momentum ##\vec L## calculated w.r.t. a pole ##P## on the axis ##a##. Such a notion is well...
