Projected Image Brightness Calculators

Image luminance calculator

Use this powerful online tool to calculate your image brightness (luminance) - and see in real time your options by varying image size, projector lumens and screen gain on image brightness.

Nit = PG x Lumens / screen area / pi

Update the red fields and hit enter:

This is the theoretical luminance ('brightness') of your projected image

Projector Lumens Required Calculator

Use this powerful online tool to calculate what projector lumens you need to achieve your required image brightness (luminance). See in real time your options by varying image size, required brightness (cd/m2 [nit]), screen gain and ambient light on image brightness.

Lumens = pi x nit x Screen area / PG

Update the red fields and hit enter:

cd/m2 [nit]
These are the 'real' lumens required from the projector, once you have applied some kind of 'reality check' factor to the brochure lumens
