2.2Safety training to be provided by the installer
WARNING: The installer is responsible that the user is instructed. The user will sign a docu men t to confirm
that the instructions have been received and understood.
Users definition
The Athena is intended for persons who have been instructed and trained by a skilled person (installer or service personnel) to
identify energy sources that may cause injury and to take precautions to avoid unintentional contact with or exposure to those energy
sources.
The skilled person mus t instruct the user about:
•High intensity light bea m. The user must respect the exclusion zone, based on the light beam Hazard Distance (HD).
•Dangerous energy sources inside the projector. The user is not allowed to remove any cover from the projector.
•Small glass parts can leave the projector in the ev ent of lamp explosion. Keep 1 m (40 in.) distance from the air outlet side of
the projector during operation.
•The installation, m aintenance or service is for skilled persons only.
•The requirements for a restricted access location and an exclusion zone.
Restricted access location
To protect untrained persons and children, the projector must be installed in a restricted access location. The definition of a
restricted access location is a location for equipment where both of the following paragraphs apply:
•Access can only be gained by skilled persons ( installer or service personnel) or persons who have been instructed and trained
by a skilled person. The persons must have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and
about the precautions that shall be taken.
•Access is only possible through the use of the tool or lock and key, or other means of s ecurity, and is controlled by the authority
responsible for the location.
Exclusion zone
The projector radiates hea t on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation. Exposing flammable or
combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that m aterial, resulting in a
fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an exc lusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no
flammable or combustible materials are present:
•The exclusion zone must not be less than 40 cm (16 in.).
•Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4 in.) on any side.
•Rear exhaust: the exclusion zone on the rear side must not be less than 1 m (40 in.).
To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) shall be taken into
account. See "Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)", page 9.

•Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to the eye.
•Warning: extremely high brightness lamps: This projector uses extremely high brightness lamps. Never attempt to look
directly into the lens or at the lamp. If the pr ojection distance is less than 6 meter, any person needs to be at least 4 meters
away from the projected image. Avoid close range reflection of the projected image on a ny reflecting surface (such as glass,
metal, …) . When operating the projector, we strongly recommend wearing suitable safety g lasses.
•Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and
possible injury to the user.
•It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, shields or ultra violet screens shall be changed if they have become
visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is im paired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
•Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation: Do not look directly in the light beam. T he lamp contained in this p roduct is
an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin
hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and
your employees by ma king them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin c an be accomplished
by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV c an be accomplished by wearing safety glasses
that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be
considered when choosing protective eye wear.
•Mercury Vapor Warnings: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp use d in the projector
contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize t he potential

2. Safety
To prevent fire hazard
•Do not place flamma ble or combustible materials near the projector!
•Projection rooms m ust be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent hot exhaust air from
console to the outside of the building.
•Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhaust a ir or on the lamp house.
To prevent projector damage
•Theairfilters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis (a "clean" booth would be m onthly-minimum).
Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projec tor, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the
projector shutting down during operation.
•The projector must always b e installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
•In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.
•Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure r eliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings mus t not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the p roduct
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The
device should not be plac ed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless pro per ventilation is provided.
•Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does ha ppen, switch off and remove all power
from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
•Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movem ent around the projector. Loose papers or other objects may not be
nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on an y side.

Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals
For safe handling information on c hemical products, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SD S). SDSs are available upon request via
safetydatasheets@barco.com.
2.4Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)
HD
Light beam Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the intensity or the energy per sur face unit
becomes lower than the applicable safety limit. The light beam can thus be considered as dangerous if the operator
is closer from the source than the HD.
2. Safety
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The HD is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the lowest projected beam where the irradiance equals
the applicable safety limit. T he HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See
next chapter HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR).
To protect untrained users the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: light output levels in excess of the
limits shall not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meters (SH image 2-1) above any surface upon which persons are assumed

3.2Lens shift, zoom & focus
Motorized lens adjustment
The Athena is equipped with a m otorized lens shift and zoom & focus functionality.
Maximum shift range
The lens can be shifted with respect to the internal optics of the projector (DMD) which results in a shifted image on the screen
(Off-Axis). A 100% shift means that the centre point of the projected image is shifted by half the screen size. In other words, the
centre point of the projected image falls together with the outline of the image in an On-Axis projection. Due to mechanical and
optical limitations the shift range is limited as well.
All lenses have a shift range of 50% up, 50% down, 30% left, and 30% right. This range is valid for all throw ratios. Within these shift
ranges the projector and lens perform excellently. Configuring the projector outside these shift ranges will result in a slight decline
of image quality.

Standby mode
In Standby mode the lamp of the projector is switched OFF but all the electronics of the projector remain fully operational. The
projector is ready to ignite the lamp and project the image. The status light is not different between Standby mode and Lamp ON
mode (fully operational).
Sleep mode
If the projector is in Sleep mode then the status light flashes every ten seconds. The color of the flash depends on the state of the
projector. In other words, the color of the flash will be green in normal state (no warnings, no errors, no notifications).
In Sleep mode the total power consumption of the projector is less than 15W. No fans are turning and the Lamp Power Supply (LPS)
is switched OFF completely. Only the following functionalities of the projector remains active:
•Cinema Controller
•Local Keypad
•Router and external sw itch fully functional
•USB IN port type “ B” (Virtual comport RS232)
•USB OUT port type “A” (To power handheld d evices [500mA MAX]. No other functionality supported)
•GPIO port on the Cinema Controller
Pressing the Sleep button in Standby mode for 3 seconds puts the projector in Sleep mode. In ca se the projector is processing the
after cooling cycle then the projector goes in Sleep mode after finishing the after cooling cycle.
Pressing the Sleep button in Sleep m ode for 3 seconds will awake the projector. The status light will blink for a few seconds (booting

USB IN port
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “B” connector, (reference 5 image 4-4) to connect upstream devices
(E.g. PC). This USB port is used to communicate with the projector via RS232 commands (Virtual comport). The USB
IN port remains operational in Sleep mode.
3
USB OUT port
The Cinem a Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “A” connector, (reference 4 image 4-4) which can be used to power
handheld devices within USB spec (MAX 500mA/5V]. No other functionality supported (Future ex pansion). The USB
OUT port remains operational in Sleep mode.

3D INTERFACE
3D interface port (reference 3 image 4-4). Can be used to connect ex ternal 3D devices to the projector. All signals necessary
for 3D projection can be provided via this connector. The 3D interface port is disabled if the projector is in Sleep mode.
5
GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO)
This 37 pin connector (reference 2 image 4-4) can be used to send or receive trigger signals from other dev ices. These
input/output pins can be programme d by macros created with the Communicator software. See user’s guide of the
Communicator, section Macro editor, for more information about this functionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs
accept 24 volt maximum. The GPIO remains operational when the projector is in Sleep mode. So, if the factory predefined
macro to wake up the projector is assigned to one of the free GPI input pins the projector can be awakened via G P IO.
Enter or leave Sleep mode can also be done with GPIO via two predefined Macros (not editable).

Wide Area Netw ork (WAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN: 10/100/1000 base-T). Use this Ethernet port (reference 6 image 4-4) to connect the network
which contains the DHCP server.
Once connected to the WAN, users can access the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company
network using the Communicator software. This software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP server or
the user can insert the correct IP-address to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all
the p rojector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and mon itoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple
operation. The network connectivity allows detection of potential errors and consequently improves service time.

Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T)
Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T) with built-in Ethernet switch (port I and port II, reference 7 image 4-4). Use
for projector control and automation. E.g. Touch Panel, content server, ... (not for content streaming!)
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors w hen they are on an Ethernet network, an Ethernet switch is built in. the incoming
network is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the chain. In this way a ’star’ network interconnection
can be avoided. The switch used is a stand alone 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet switch. This assures no influence on the
network speed. Furthermore, this Ethernet switch remains operational when the projector is in Standby mode.
The connectors used for these Ethernet ports are of the type RJ45, which is compatible with s tandard RJ45 cable connector.
Straight ( most common) as well as cross linked network cables can be used. The 2 ports are functionally identical. Both
ports are connected via the projector switch (Auto sensing enabled).

About ICMP
The ICMP is a removable electronic assembly situated in the Card Cage of the projector. The ICMP s tores, decrypts and decodes
DCI cinema content and delivers it to the projector in a usable format, all integrated into a single assembly placed directly in the
projector. ICMP is a fully integrated assembly so expected by the operators to facilitate their daily business.
The standard Integrated Cinema Processor functionality from Texas Instruments® is fully integrated into the ICMP. So, t he ICMP
replaces the ICP board as well.

5.2ICMP HDD
About ICMP HDD
The three HDDs (local storage) in the ICMP, are set up in a RA ID 5 configuration. This storage technique, that combines multiple
HDD components into a logical unit, manages enough redundancy information to continue to operate properly after the loss of one
HDD.
5. ICMP
Image 5-6
CAUTION: A RAID 5 configuration with three HDDs allows a maximum loss of one disk. With the simultaneous
loss of more than one HDDs, data is lost and the RAID must be completely initialized again after replacement
of the defect HDDs with new HDDs!
About degraded mode
When a RAID array experiences the failure of one disk, it enters in degraded mode. Content storage and playback remains available
on the ICMP.
CAUTION: The loss of one disk causes no serious consequences on the ICMP. But action must be taken
quickly because the loss of a seco nd disk will make the RAID system b roken . T he main cause of the total loss
of RAID is due in most cases to the loss of the second disk while the first has not been rebuilt!
A failed drive should be replaced
as soon as possible.
About “RAID recovery” process

5. ICMP
CAUTION: The automatic process does not wo rk if more than one disk is lost. In that case the RAID must be
completely initialized again!
About RAID broken
When more than one HDD is ou t of order, the RAID is considered as ’broken’ and the content is lost. The failed HDDs must be
changed and a new RAID must be created.
Exchange or re-use of a disk set
It’s possible to have several sets of disks with one ICMP or to reuse a complete set of disks coming from another projector with
ICMP.Itissuffi cient to insert the three HDDs, from a valid RAID array, and let the system explore the new RAID. The mounting order
of the HDDs and the HDD slots do not matter. Of course, when using HDDs from another ICMP it is necessary to retrieve from the
content distributor the KDMs corresponding to the content and the new ICMP.
HDD storage capacity
Make sure that all HDDs in the ICMP HDD set have the same storage capacity. See label on top of the HDD to know the storage
capacity.
HDD storage
The maximum recommended storage period for the drive in a non-operational environment is 90 days. Drives should be stored in the
original unopened shipping pac kaging whenever possible. Once the drive is removed from the o riginal packaging the recommended
maximum period between drive operation cycles is 30 days. During any storage period the drive non-operational temperature,
humidity, wet bulb, atmospheric conditions, shock, vibration, magnetic and electrical field specifications should be followed.
HDD models validated by Barco
Only the original HDD spare parts provided by Barco or models valid
deviations from this rule void warranty.

USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and
communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication, and power supply betw een computers and
electronic devices. USB 2.0 (also called "Hi-Speed"), adding higher maximum signaling rate of 480 Mbit/s (effective
throughput up to 35 MB/s or 280 Mbit/s), in addition to the "USB 1.x Full Speed" signaling rate of 12 Mbit/s.[16] USB 2.0
connectors are usually colored black . USB 3.0 defines a new SuperSpeed mode with a signaling speed of 5 Gbit/s and
a usab le data rate of up to 4 Gbit/s (500 MB/s). A USB 3.0 port is usually colored blue, and is backwards compa tible
with USB 2.0.

DisplayPort
Digital display interface developed by the Video E lectronics Standards Association (VESA). This royalty-free interface
is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used
to transmit audio, USB, and other forms of data. VESA designed it to replace VGA, DVI, and FPD-Link. B ackward
compatibility to VG A and DVI by using active adapter dongles enables users to use D isplayP ort fitted video sources
without replacing existing display devices.
HDCP
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent
copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across DisplayPort, Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI), G igabit Video Interface (GVIF), or Unified Display Interface (UDI) connections, even if
such copying would be permitted by fair use laws. The specification is proprietary, and implementing HDCP requires
a license.

5.6ICMP SDI specifications
3G-SDI
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a s erial link standardized by ITU-R BT.656 and the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SM PT E). SDI transmits uncompressed digital video over 75-ohm coaxial cable within studios, and
is seen on most professional video infrastructure equipment. The first revision of the standard, SM PTE 259M, was
defined to carry digital representation of analog video such as NTSC and PAL over a serial interface and is more popularly known as standard-definition (SD) SDI. The data rate required to transmit SD SDI is 270 Mbps. With the advent
of high-definition (HD) video standards such as 1080i and 720p, the interface was scaled to handle higher data rates
of 1.485 Gbps. The 1.485-Gbps serial interface is commonly called the HD SDI interface and is defined by SMPTE
292M, using the same 75-ohm coaxial c able. S tudios and other video production facilities h ave invested heavily on
the hardware infrastructure for c oaxial cable and have a vested interest in extending the life of their infrastructure. Fortunately, SMPTE recently ratified a new standard called SMPTE 424M that doubles the SDI data rates to 2.97 Gbps
using the same 75-ohm coaxial cable. This n ew standard, also called 3-Gbps (3G)-SDI, enables higher resolution of
picture quality required for 1080p and digital cinema.

1.5Gb/sHD 4:2:2
Standard HD-SDI allows for a single 4:2:2 image to be carried on one cable at 1.485 G b/s. The image uses the Y Cb Cr colorspace
and uses a bit depth of 10 bit per color component.
Due to the data rate limitations only 23.976, 24, 25, 29.970 a
nd 3 0 fps streams are achievable.

Dual Link
1.5Gb/s
1.5Gb/s
Dual-Link HD-SDI is m ainly two standard HD-SDI signals carrying a single image stream split between the two cables. The main
advantage is that color s ubsampling is no longer required, and the image can be transmitted in 4:4:4 quality, which then also allows
the RGB (or XYZ) color space to be used.
The m ain link will contain a standard HD-SDI signal, the second (enhancement) link contains the missing Cb and Cr samples.
Depending on the implementation the enhancement link could also contain extra information to increase the bit depth.
3G HD-SDI signal
3G
3Gb/s
3G HD-SD I uses a higher data rate (2.97 Gb/s). This allows a single cable interface to achieve the same capabilities of a Dual-Link
HD-SDI implementation.
In direct mapping (level A) this is used to achieve higher frame rates. (50, 59.940 and 60 fps streams are supported).

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is supported on all UHD and 4K formats.
This includes SMPTE ST 2084 (static metadata) and BT.2020 color coding. Requires a license!
HDMI 2.0 Cable requirem ents
All HDMI cables should work with HDMI 2.0 receivers. T here is no such thing as a “4K HDMI cable” even though this is sometimes
sold this way. But of course there are quality differences. The “high-speed” cables would be preferred over the “standard-speed”
cables. They usually work at higher cable lengths than the standard-speed ones.
The “Premium Certified HDMI” cables are tested to work with high bandwidth as is the case
with 4K HDR content. These can be more exp ensive though. When using active and/or optical
cables you should v erify if the integrated receiver and sender are HDMI certified to guarantee
to work compliant with the HDMI protocol. You can request the HDMI certificate to the manufacturer of the cable.
The ICMP is not supporting Ethernet-over-HDMI and such specific cables are thus not required.

5.11 ICMP device certificate
Purpose of the Barco ICMP device certificate
The device certificate (*.pem) of the Barco ICMP is a digital certificate signed by Barco which is required when ordering the KDM to
play a DCP that is ingested on the ICMP. The device certificate is stored inside the ICMP and on a web server.
44
R5906789 ATHENA 26/01/2018
5. ICMP
The (WEB) Commander or Communicator can be used to retrieve the device certificate directly from the ICMP. To retrieve the device
certificate from the website the QR (Quick Response) code can be used. See procedure "Obtaining the Barco ICMP certificate",
page 48.

The Goal of the TDL is to maintain timely and accurate information on participating auditoriums so that pa rticipating
subscribers can obtain informa
Exhibitors, Deployment Entities, Integrators, Service Providers (interacting with Exhibitors), regional authorities and
Support.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
PKI is a framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The
foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of organizations and individuals over a public system such as the Internet. The certificates are also used to sign m ess ages,
which ensures that messages have not been tampered with.

Key Delivery Message (KDM)
The security key for each movie is delivered in a unique KDM for each digital cinema s erver. T he security key is
encrypted within the KDM, which means that the delivery of a KDM to the wrong server or wrong location will not work,
and thus such errors cannot compromise the security of the movie. The KDM is a s mall file, and is typically ema iled to
the exhibitor. To create the correct set of KDMs for a site requires knowledge of the digital certificate in the projection
system´s media block.
Digital Cinema Package (DCP)
A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is a collection of digital files used to store and convey Digital Cinema (DC) audio,
image, and data s treams. The term has been defined by Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI). General practice adopts a file
structure that is organized into a number of usually multi-gigabyte size M aterial eXchange Format (MXF) files , which
are separately used to store audio and v ideo streams, and auxiliary index files in XML format. The MXF files contain
streams that are compressed, encoded, and encrypted, in order to reduce the huge amount of required storage and
to pr otect from unauthorized use. The image part is JPEG 2000 compressed, whereas the audio part is linear PCM.
The adopted (optional) encryption standard is AES 128 bit in CBC mode. The newer SMPTE standards are used to
conform the recommendations among different tool vendors and producers. Interop, the legacy DCP standard, is still
required to be supported by DCP players.
Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI)
DCI is a joint venture of Disney, Fox, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros. Studios.
DCI’s primary purpose is to establish and document voluntary specifications for an open architecture for digital cinema that ensures a uniform and high level of technical performance, reliability and quality control. Note that the DCI
specification is not a standard. Standards for digital cinema are the domain of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). "DCI compliant" is a term us ed to describe products that conform to the DCI specification.
Products that have been tested per the DCI C ompliance Test Plan (CTP) are posted at the DCI compliance web site.
Notably, DCI compliance does not require compliance to the full set of SMPTE DCP standards. A copy of the most
recent DCI specification can be downloaded from the DCI website (h
ttp://dcimovies.com).
5.12 ICMP configuration via Communicator
About ICMP configuration
Following parameters are available to confi gure the ICMP:
•Global settings: allows defining name of the ICMP, host name (network identifier) and IP address which can be used for communication with external content devices.
•User settings: definition of all users allowed on the ICMP.
•Server settings: definition of access to servers and storage libraries of c ontent (movies, KDM, etc.).
•Player settings: Audio delay and audio output frequency.
•Audio cha nnel: allows defining the mapping of audio channels ( content) on each audio output (AES outputs of the ICMP ).
•Scheduler setting: Enable/Disable scheduler a t startup, delays allowed in scheduler mode and length of schedule history.
•Devices: allows defining communication ports setti
•Automation Cues: event cues that are triggered from different sources and to which can be assigned actions to be executed
by the automation engine.
•Verify internal clock of the ICMP.
All installation and maintenance operatio
uration so ftware. Please refer to the Com mu nicator user guide for further information.
About Default settings
The restore of fa ctory setting is a feature that allows removing all settings performed o n the ICMP and replaces them with the default
values set at the factory. Please refer to the Communicator user guide for further information.
About the ICMP internal clock
The crystal on the ICMP board that manages the clock shows a c ertain drift (all crystals do). W ith the Communicator the internal
clock can be adjusted. This maintenance action s hould be repeated every 3 months. When neglected the system will locks up.
From ICMP software version 1.2.1 onwards it is possible to enable NTP (Network Time Protocol). You have to configure (at installation) an IP address where the ICMP can find a sync signal. From then on, and as long as the connection is active, the ICMP will
automatically keep its clock correct. For de tailed instructions see user guide of the Communicator.

About this chapter
This chapter gives a short introduction of the Communicator Touch Panel, describes how to install the Communicator Touch Panel
interface onto the top of your Athena and how to connect the interface. F or operation instructions refer to the user guide of the
Communicator software. The latest software version and updated user guide for the Communicator can be downloaded from
h
ttps://my.barco.com.

6.1Communicator Touch Panel
Communicator Touch Panel for digital cinema projectors
The Communicator Touch Pa nel is designed for m ulti-user command and control. The Communicator enables users to learn quickly
and operate efficiently - using an elegant and flexible Touch Panel interface. The interface’s commonality means that operators
can intuitively use any model in the product line, without restriction, and its user-friendly nature translates d irectly into a short and
enjoyable learning curve.
Image 6-1
Flexible Touch Panel interface
The Touch Pan el interface can be mounted upon a swivel arm which easily fits on top of the Athena. One central locking mechanism
of the swivel arm allows instant fixation of the Touch Panel interface in any position.
The Touch Panel interface can a lso be installed further away from the Athena. For this purpose an Ethernet cable up to 50 meter
can be used to realize a direct data communication between the Athena and the Communicator Touch Panel.
The Touch Panel interface can also be connected via a Local Area Network (LAN) in the same way as the Athena. In this configuration both devices can communicate with each other as well.
The Touch Panel interface requires a voltage supply +12 VDC and 1,5 ampere. Note that the Athena has a 12 VDC output which
can be used to power up the Touch Panel interface. Nevertheless, the u se of a separate +12 VDC adaptor (1,5 ampere minimum )
is required in case the Touch P anel interface is installed more then a few m eters away from the Athena.

3G-SDI
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a serial link s tandardized b y ITU-R BT.656 and the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers
(SMPTE). SDI transmits uncompressed digital video over 75-ohm coaxial cable within s tudios, and is s een on most professional
video infrastructure equipment. The first revision of the standard, S MP TE 259M, was defined to carry digital representation of analog
video such as NTSC and PAL ov er a serial interface and is more popularly known as standard-definition (SD) SDI. The data rate
required to transmit SD SDI is 270 Mbps. With the advent of high-definition (HD) video standards such as 1080i and 720p, the
interface was scaled to handle higher data rates of 1.485 Gbps. The 1.485-Gbps serial interface is commonly called the HD SDI
interface and is defined by SMPTE 292M, using the same 75-ohm coaxial cable. Studios and other video production facilities have
invested heavily on the hardware infrastructure for coaxial cable and have a ve sted interest in extending the life of their infrastructure.
Fortunately, SMPTE recently ratified a new standard called SMPTE 424M that doubles the SDI data rates to 2.97 Gbps using the
same 75-ohm coaxial cable. This new standard, also called 3-Gbps (3G)-SDI, enables higher resolution of picture quality required
for 1080p and digital cinema.
Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI)
DCI is a joint venture of Disney, Fox, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros. Studios. DCI’s primary
purpose is to establish and document voluntary specifications for an open architecture for digital cinema that ensures a uniform and
high level of technical performance, reliability and quality control. Note that the DCI specification is not a standard. Standards for
digital cinema are the domain of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMP TE ). "DCI compliant" is a term used to
describe products that conform to the DCI specification. Products that have been tested per the DCI Compliance Test Plan (CTP)
are posted at the DCI compliance web s ite. Notably, DCI compliance does not require compliance to the full set of SMPTE DCP
standards. A copy of the mos t recent DCI spec ification can be downloaded from the DCI website (h
ttp://dcimovies.com).

Digital Cinema Package (DCP)
A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is a collection of digital files used to store and convey Digital Cinema (DC) audio, image, and data
streams. The term has been defined by Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI). G eneral pr actice adopts a file structure that is organized into
a number of usually multi-gigabyte size Material eXchange F ormat (MXF) files, which are separately used to store audio and video
streams, and auxiliary index files in XML format. The M XF files contain streams that are compressed, encoded, and encrypted, in
order to reduce the huge amount of required storage and to protect from unauthorized use. The image part is JPEG 2000 compressed, whereas the audio part is linear PCM. The adopted (optional) encryption standard is AES 128 bit in CBC mode. The newer
SMPTE standards are used to conform the recom mendations among different tool vendors and producers. Interop, the legacy DCP
standard, is still required to be supported by D CP players.
DisplayPort
Digital display interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). This royalty-free interface is primarily
used to connect a video s ource to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also b e used to transmit audio, USB,
and other forms of data. VESA designed it to replace VGA, DVI, and FPD-Link. Backward compatibility to VGA and DVI by using
active adapter dongles enables users to use DisplayPort fi tte d video sources without replacing existing display devices.
HD
Light beam Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the s ource at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes
lower than the applicable sa fety limit. The light beam can thus be considered as dangerous if the operator is closer from the source
than the HD.
HDCP
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of
digital audio an d video content as it travels across DisplayPort, Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), or Unified Display Interface (UDI) connections, even if such copying would be permitted by
fair us e laws. The s pecific ation is proprietary, and implementing HDCP requires a license.
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed video data and compressed/uncompressed digital audio data from a HDMI-compliant device ("the source device") to a compatible computer monitor,
video projector, digital television, or digital audio device. HDM I is a digital replacement for existing analog video standards.

Key Delivery Message (KDM)
The security key for each movie is delivere d in a unique KDM for each digital cinema server. The security key is encrypted within
the KDM, which means that the delivery of a KDM to the wrong server or wrong location will not work, and thus such errors cannot
compromise the security of the movie. The KDM is a small file, and is typically emailed to the exhibitor. To create the correct set of
KDMs for a site requires knowledge of the digital certificate in the projection system´s media block.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
PKI is a framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of
a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of organizations and individuals
over a public system such as the Internet. The certificates are also used to sign messages, which ensures that messages have not
been tampered with.
RS232
An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the communication path
between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-SU B 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range
communications and does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of conductors,
data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies component connection standards with regard to
computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the
CCITT V.24 standard. Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition zone.
SMPTE
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers - A global organization, based in the United States, that sets standards for
baseband visual communications. This includes film as well as video standards.
TR (Throw Ratio)
The ratio of the distance to the screen (throw) to the screen width.
Trusted Device List (TDL)
The Goal of the TDL is to maintain timely and accurate information on participating auditoriums so that participating subscribers
can obtain information needed to issue KDMs. The TDL has several data sources: Device manufacturers, Exhibitors, Deployment
Entities, Integrators, Service Providers (interacting with E xhibitors), regional authorities and Support.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the m id-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communic ations protocols used in a bus for connection, communication, and power supply between computers and electronic devices. USB 2.0
(also called "Hi-Speed"), adding higher maximum signaling rate o f 480 Mbit/s (effective throughput up to 35 MB/s or 280 Mbit/s), in
addition to the "USB 1.x Full Speed" signaling rate of 12 Mbit/s.[16] USB 2.0 connectors are usually colored black. USB 3.0 defines
a new SuperSpeed mode with a signaling speed of 5 Gbit/s and a usable data rate of up to 4 Gbit/s (50 0 MB/s). A USB 3.0 port is
usually colored blue, and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
