Section 2

INSTALLATION & SETUP

The instructions provided here are for those that are familiar with the projector and wish to quickly set it up and use it temporarily. Refer to the remaining subsections of this manual for a more complete setup.

Install the Projection Lens

The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector and must be installed prior to setting up the projector. Install the projection lens as described in 4.5 Replacing the Projection Lens.

Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector before installing the lens.

Remove the lens when shipping the projector and reuse the lens plug to prevent dust and debris from entering and settling on critical optical components.

Position the Projector

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface and position it so that it is perpendicular to the screen at a suitable distance. In general, the further back the projector is positioned from the screen, the larger the image will be.

If required, you can level the projector by adjusting its three feet. With the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned.

For more detailed instructions on positioning the projector refer to Projector Position and Mounting later in this section.

Connect a Source

Located at the back of the projector is the input panel where all source connections are made.

Each input is clearly labeled for easy identification.

Using the appropriate cable(s), connect your source. Connect RGB and YPbPr sources to INPUT 1 located in the upper right corner of the input panel. Use the DVI-I connector at INPUT 2 to connect analog or digital display signals. Connect composite video to INPUT 3 and S-Video to

INPUT 4.

NOTE: One of the available optional input modules can be installed at INPUT 5 or INPUT 6 for additional connections.

Refer to 2.3 Connecting Sources for more details on connecting a specific source.

2.2 Installation

Considerations

Installation Type >

Screen Type >

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount.

Front Screen Installations

In front screen installations the projector and audience are positioned in front of the screen, which can be flat or curved.

Flat screens are recommended with this projector. They offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. This type of screen reflects incident light equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.

Curved screens have a gain greater than 1 with a viewing angle much less than 180°. This type of screen does not reflect incident light equally in all directions instead it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience sitting within the viewing cone area will see a brighter image than those sitting just outside this area.

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

Rear screen installations

There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical.

A diffused screen has a surface, which spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than one. The main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, similar to that of a flat screen for front screen projection. This type of screen is suitable when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting.

Optical screens take light from the projector and redirect it to increase the light intensity at the front of the screen. This reduces it in other areas. A viewing cone, similar to that of a curved front screen installation is created. This type of screen is better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audience is situated within the viewing cone.

Screen size

Choose a screen size, which is appropriate for your lens and application. The size of the room and viewing distance are the defining factors; a rule of thumb is that the primary viewing distance be 1.5 x screen width.

To fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image (expressed as the ratio of its width to its height). Standard video from a VCR has a 4:3 or 1.33:1 aspect ratio. For example, to display a VCR output with a 4:3 aspect ratio onto a 10-foot (3m) high screen, the width of the screen must be at least 13.3 feet (4m).

Ambient Light > The high brightness of this projector is well suited for locations where ambient lighting might be considered less than ideal for projection. A typical room with ceiling lights and windows rarely requires special attention. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image.

Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.

In general, avoid or eliminate light sources directed at the screen.

Other Considerations > Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.

Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers, elevators, etc.

Choose the best screen size for the application. Since more magnification reduces brightness, use a screen size appropriate for the venue but not larger than required. Installing a large screen inasmallroomissimilartowatchingtelevisionatacloserange;toolargeascreencanoverpower a room and interfere with the overall effect. A good rule of thumb is to be no closer than 1.5 times the width of the screen or a 23° viewing angle.

Throw distance

Throw distance is the distance measured from your projector’s lens to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be of the right size for your screen.

You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the horizontal width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio. The result of this calculation tells you "roughly" how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. For example, using a 0.75:1 lens, throw distance would roughly be 0.75 x screen width.

IMPORTANT: Once you determine the type of lens and screen size you’re going to use, calculate the precise throw distance using the formula or graphs located in Appendix D. Due to lens manufacturing tolerances for lens focal length, actual throw distance can vary ±5% between lenses described as having the same throw ratio.

Measured to center of projector's front feet.

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

Vertical and horizontal position

The correct vertical and horizontal position of the projector in relation to the screen depends on the lens type and the screen size. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen. This way, the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned (trapezoidal).

The vertical position of the image can be offset – that is moved above or below the optical axis (lens center) by adjusting the fully motorized lens mount with the keypad. The amount of vertical offset available depends directly on the lens installed in the projector and can be slightly limited if horizontal offset has been applied. Vertical offset can also be expressed as the percent of half the image height OR the number of pixels of shift from lens center. Refer to Figure 2.1 for some illustrated examples of vertical offset.

Table 2.1 along with Figure 2.2 show the maximum vertical offset of a lens or alternatively, how much of your projected image will appear above or below lens center if the maximum vertical offset is applied using that lens.

The horizontal position of the image can be offset – that is moved to the left or right of lens center, by adjusting the fully motorized lens mount through software. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and if the image has already been vertically offset. Horizontal offset can also be expressed as the percent of half the image width – the number of pixels of shift to one side of lens center. Refer to Figure 2.3 for some illustrated examples of horizontal offset.

See also Table 2.1 along with Figure 2.4 which shows the maximum horizontal offset of a lens or alternatively, how much of your projected image will appear to one side of lens center if the maximum horizontal offset is applied using that lens.

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

Mounting

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. In typical front and rear screen installations the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface, such as a table.

CEILING MOUNT — The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is recommended for fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience.

Use only the WOLF CINEMA approved ceiling mount kit designed for your projector. Refer to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided in the kit.

SPECIAL MOUNTING — The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it affecting performance. However, the side-to-side tilt limit of the projector must not exceed ±15 degrees. This tilt limit is required to ensure optimal performance of the lamp. (Figure 2.5.)

Adjusting projector height

You can modify the height of the projector to remedy a slightly unlevel mounting surface by adjusting the two feet threaded into the front bottom chassis. Turn each foot clock-wise or counterclockwise until the project is level on all sides.

Folded Optics

In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path. See Figure 2.7. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set — if considering this type of installation call your dealer for assistance.

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

2.3 Connecting Sources Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.6.

The upper right corner (INPUT 1) typically accepts an RGB signal from an external analog RGB source, or it can also be used for YPbPr signals or additional video sources. Just beside these BNCs, the DVI-I connector (INPUT 2) accepts digital or analog display signals from a computer. Connect analog composite video at INPUT 3 or S-Video at INPUT 4 from devices such as VCRs, laser disc players or DVD players.

There are also several optional interfaces available for connecting other sources — these interfaces slide into the remaining unused option slot, and can be done while the projector is running.

RGB (BNC)

Figure 2.6 Input Panel

NOTES: 1) See Section 6, Specifications for details regarding compatible inputs. 2) Use high quality shielded cables only for all connections.

RGB Signals > INPUT 1 consists of five BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The typical connection would be to an RGB source such as a PC, Mac. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on-green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs.

NOTE: Depending on your source, you may need a custom adapter cable with BNC connectors at the projector end and a different type of connector at the other (such as a 15-pin "D" connector for some computer sources). Contact your dealer for details.

Connect the SYNC BNC input(s) first. Then connect the red, green and blue source outputs to the RED, GREEN, and BLUE BNCs on the INPUT 1 panel. If the source uses sync-on-green, only the red, green, and blue connections are required. If the source provides a composite sync output, connect it to the SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP. If the source provides separate horizontal and vertical sync outputs, connect horizontal sync to the SYNC input labeled HOR/ COMP and connect vertical sync to SYNC input labeled VERT. See Figure 2.7.

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

2.4 Connecting

Communications

Remote Keypads >

Serial Port Connections >

As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO communications to the projector, all described below.

As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote keypad towards the display screen or the projector’s IR sensors. Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the 3.5mm RCA jack labeled as REMOTE on the projector’s input panel. Note that response to a wired keypad must also be enabled in the Communications menu — see 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for more information.

There are two types of serial ports available on the projector: RS232 and RS422. You can connect a device with a serial interface, such as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial communication commands.

Connecting RS-232

The two nine-pin DIN connectors labeled RS232 IN and RS232 OUT on the input panel are dedicated to serial communication (see Figure 2.10). Using the appropriate serial communication cables (see Appendix C) connect the controlling source, such as a personal computer to the RS232 IN connector. Then set the baud rate to match that of the computer. Refer to Section 3 for details on changing the projector’s baud rate.

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

Connecting RS-422

If you wish to control the projector with a computer and or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the computer and the RS-422 port on the projector (see Figure 2.11). RS-422 is better suited for serial communication over long distances then is RS-232 communication.

Use the RS-422 port only if your device had RS-422 capability – always consult the literature provided with your equipment before connecting. Connecting to the RS-422 port with incompatible equipment could damage your projector.

Ethernet Communications >

Ethernet Communications

 

To add the projector to an existing Ethernet network with other equipment such as controllers

 

and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your Ethernet controller (or

 

hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector.

 

Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the projector’s factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0.0

 

will automatically enable the DHCP function (if available on the network) to assign a new IP

 

address that is valid and unique for that network. Or, if there is no DHCP function available on

 

the network (or if a specific static IP address for the projector is preferred or required), you can

 

set the address in the Ethernet Settings menu or via an ASCII serial command.

 

Regardless of how it is assigned, once a projector has a valid and unique address it will respond

 

to commands sent to this address. To determine the projector’s current IP address, consult the

 

Information or Communications menus.

 

Refer to Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector connected via

 

Ethernet.

Wolf Cinema Owner's Manual

2-16

Section 2 ► Installation and Setup

SETTING THE PROJECTOR’S IP ADDRESS: Upon connection to most Ethernet networks, each projector’s factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the network’s DHCP (Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol) server function to automatically assign an IP address that is valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on the network, this DHCP-assigned IP address usually remains stable for a single session, but may change with subsequent power-ups and logins. On some networks, the address will remain stable from session to session. In all cases, the projector’s IP address and port appear in the Information menu as well as the Ethernet Settings submenu. See Figure 2.15.

Figure 2.15. Setting the Projector's IP Address

Note that if a projector’s IP address is anything other than 0.0.0.0 (shown as 000.000.000.000 in the Ethernet Settings menu) upon connection to an Ethernet network, or if DHCP is not available on the network, the automatic DHCP server function for supplying a valid and unique IP address to the projector is disabled. Instead, a specific and static IP address must be defined in projector memory—enter the new address in the Ethernet Settings submenu, or send to the projector via a serial command. The IP address will be in effect until it is changed again, or until the DHCP checkbox is re-enabled for use with a DHCP server on the network.

CHANGING THE PORT#: On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new port number in the Ethernet Settings menu or include the new port# in an XIP serial command sent to the projector. It is highly recommended not to use a port# below 1000, as these ports are typically reserved for and used by common IP applications.

SUBNET MASK AND DEFAULT GATEWAY: The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is being used, it must be assigned before the subnet mask. The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive data outside the subnet.

Separating Networks >

By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller — RS232 vs. RS422 vs.

 

Ethernet — stay on the corresponding network path. A “Separate” setting indicates this separation

 

for “Network Routing” in the Communications menu. If you are using an RS422 controller, for

 

example, it will communicate only with the projector to which it is connected unless you change

 

this setting to either “RS232 and RS422 Joined” or “All Joined”.

2.5System Integration

-GPIO Connector

2.6Power Connector

The GPIO connector on the input panel can be used to provide a method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices to the projector.

Refer to Appendix E: System Integration for complete details on pin configuration and how to program the various pins on the connector.

The North American rated power cord is provided with each projector. Ensure that you are using a power cord, socket and power plug that meets the appropriate local rating standards.

Plug the power cord to the AC receptacle located at the back of the projector, below the input panel, and the three-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet. Ensure the socket outlet is installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. The input voltage to the projector must be capable of 100 – 240 VAC in 500W and 1000W models and 200-240VAC in 1200W models. (See also

Section 6 – Specifications for complete details on all power requirements.)

Use the approved North American-rated power cord supplied with the projector. If you are connecting to an area outside of North America ensure an appropriately power cord rated for the region of use is used.

Always power down the projector before unplugging the AC power cord. Wait 5-10 minutes for the main exhaust fan to turn off and for the lamp to cool sufficiently before unplugging the projector.

WARNING

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage and power range.

The built-in keypad is located at the back of the projector, beside the input panel. Use it similarly to the IR remote to control the projector. A status LED display is also included on this keypad for monitoring projector status.

The AC receptacle is located at the back of the projector just below the input panel. Use this outlet to plug in an appropriately rated power cord. Refer to Section 6 — Specifications for details.

Located on the underside and on top, with the (i) models, of the projector are two fully adjustable feet. Raise or lower these feet when positioning the projector to ensure it is level on all sides so the displayed image will appear rectangular without any keystone.

NOTE: The third foot, located at the rear of the projector (underside) is not adjustable.

Refer to Section 2 - Projector Position and Mounting for instructions on how to adjust the projector’s feet.

The projector is built with a motorized lens mount that allows for easy lens control and adjustment. This includes such functions as adjusting vertical and horizontal offsets, zoom and focus. The lens mount can be fitted with any one of the available optional lenses – see Section

6 — Specifications.

Zoom and Focus — There are two internal lens motors that allow for quick motorized adjustment of zoom and focus. Adjust zoom to fit the displayed image on the screen and adjust focus to improve the clarity of the image.

Lens Offset — Vertical and horizontal offset is performed on the lens mount through the use of DC motors.

Shutter — Standard on all models the shutter allows you to turn the screen absolutely black when in the “on” state. Press the ‘mute’ button for 1-2 seconds on the remote to operate the shutter.

IRIS —  Enables adjustment of light output and contrast ratio.

NOTES: Use the lens cap when transporting the projector to avoid scratching and damaging the lens, which could affect your displayed image.

The two IR sensors located on the projector receive transmissions from the IR remote from up to 100 feet away. It is important to keep the transmission path to these sensors unobstructed for uninterrupted communications with the projector. The front IR sensor is located next to the projector’s nameplate and the rear IR sensor is located at the back of the projector just above the status LED display.

The lamp door is located at the back of the projector, which provides easy access to the lamp module for replacement. See Section 4 for lamp replacement procedures.

Keypad Commands >

LED Status Display

Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. Do not look directly into the beam of the remote.

The projector can be controlled using one of the following keypads:

Built-in Keypad located at the back of the projector

Remote Keypad for tethered or tether-less control up to 100 feet away (includes cable for use as a wired remote)

While each of the keypads provides complete control of the projector, they differ slightly in their arrangement of keys and in what functions can be accessed directly with a key press rather than requiring use of the menu system. You may find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and application.

NOTE: The remote keypad has a single IR protocol and can be converted to a wired remote by connecting the cable provided with the projector to the RCA jack labeled as REMOTE on the input panel.

To control the projector when signals from a remote keypad cannot reach the projector, use the projector’s built-in keypad (Figure 3.1). The nearby LED display provides feedback indicating current status and activities of the projector, (see Table 3.1). Because the built-in keypad has fewer keys than the remote keypad, certain projector functions are accessible only through the menu system rather than via a direct key.

Refer to the key descriptions provided for the IR remote – see Figure 3.2.

The IR remote keypad controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a batterypowered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the IR remote keypad the same way you would use a remote keypad supplied with a TV or VCR. When making key presses, direct the keypad either toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector. One of the two IR sensors on the projector will detect the signals and relay the commands for internal processing.

Setup

You can convert the IR remote into a wired remote keypad using the cable provided with the projector. Connect one end into the remote and the other to the mini stereo connector on the input panel labeled as REMOTE. The wired remote is recommended when:

The built-in keypad is inaccessible

The lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission

NOTE: Leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser key ( ) to work.

Keep in mind the following guidelines:

Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key combinations required.

• Note that the three keys — Power , Shutter Shutter and OSD OSD are “press-and-hold” keys that do not function with a typical quick press-and-release key press (see Figure 3.2).

Hold arrow keys down for continuous adjustment/movement in one direction. In serial networks, pause briefly between adjustments to ensure that other devices can “keep up” with the commands.

If you press a key while the projector is still responding to the previous action, such as during power-up, the second key press may not take effect.

Specific keypad commands are explained below:

Power ON/OFF

Press and hold

for two seconds or press twice quickly to toggle the projector (on) or (off)

with a single keystroke. Or press and release

followed immediately by (on) or

(off) to guarantee the correct toggle (useful if you are unsure of the present state).

 

NOTES: 1) After powering down, the lamp cooling fan remains on for approximately five minutes to cool the lamp. 2) It is a good idea to avoid turning a projector back on until it has been off for a few minutes. Hot re-strikes of the lamp may reduce lamp life.

Test

 

 

 

Press

Test

to step forward through all internal test patterns and this will eventually lead you to

the current input. If you press Test and then cycle by using the and

right arrow keys,

you’ll be cycling in either direction through the test patterns only, no input.

 

Quick Setup

 

Press
