1. Safety
To prevent personal injury
• When power is supplied to the device, the device starts a homing procedure which includes a movement of the head.
• When opening one of the shell covers of the projector head while power is supplied to the device, the movement of the head
(pan and tilt) is blocked by the software.
• To reduce the lamp heat of the projector head, switch the device first to standby and let the projector lamp cool down for at least
5 minutes. Then the device may be disconnected from the power outlet.
• Isolated electrically before re-lamping. Caution : hot lamps.
• The customer should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing. See "Recycling guidelines", page 8 for more information
about handling a used lamp.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to lift up the device. No twist is
allowed. When lifting out of the flight case, a 3rd person has to push away the flight case while the first 2 are lifting up the
device.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in injury to the eye.
• Before attempting to remove any of the device’s covers, you must disconnect from the wall outlet.
• When performing setup work to a ceiling mounted device, to prevent injury caused by falling objects or the system, set out a
keep out area.
• Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the device from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure that the working load limit of the structure can handle the load of the device.
• The power input at the base of the device is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the device, to
access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the base of the device. In case the power input at the base of the
device is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the device shall be installed nearby the device and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fal
possible injury to the user.
• When mounting the device to the ceiling or to a rigging system, always mount security chains.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Shields, lenses or utra-vilolet screens shall be changed if they have become
visible damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
• Mercury Vapor Warnings: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector
contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential
risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
- Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
- Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
- Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a preg-
nant woman).
- Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-
ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.
• Cooling liquid circuit. The device head contains a cooling circuit filled with Blue antifreeze diluted 1,2 ethanediol (1/3 ethanediol – 2/3 Demi water).
When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact a service technician.
The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxi
• Restricted Access Location The DML must be installed in a Restricted Access Location, where access can only be gained
by persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and about the precautions
that shall be taken.
Reasons for the applied restrictions: moving head in all directions, air outlet can reach high temperatures and light output may
cause eye injury when looking directly into the lens.

1.3 Important warnings concerning DML flight cases
Important warnings concerning stacking/transporting DML rental flight cases
• Stack maximum two (2) DML rental flight cases high. Never higher.
• The surface on which a flight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four
wheels. The surface must also be able to support the load safely.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check the wheels and their fixation screws for wear or defects.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check that the six lock handles on each fl ight case are in good working order and
locked securely.
• When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper flight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the flight case
below.
•Stackedflight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower flight case must already be in its final resting position before
placing the second upon it.
• Never stack loaded flight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each flight case is rigidly strapped tight.
• In the event of a wheel breaking, flight cases must be rigidly strapped tight to prevent a stack collapsing.
• Use an appropriate forklift to raise flight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel injury.

2. GENERAL
Overview
• Installation requirements
• Unpacking the device
• Projector air inlets and outlets
2.1 Installation requirements
Ambient temperature conditions
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for an operating DML-1200 may not exceed +40 ºC (+104 ºF).
The minimum allowed ambient temperature for an operating DML-1200 may not drop below +10 ºC (+50 ºF).
The projector will not operate if the ambient air temperature falls outside this range (+10 ºC → +40 ºC or +50 ºF → +104 ºF). Be
aware that room heat rises to the ceiling. Check if the temperature near the installation site is not excessive.
The minimum storage temperature is -35 ºC (-31 ºF) and the maximum storage temperature is +65 ºC (+149 ºF).
Humidity conditions
Storage: 0 to 98% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Operation: 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
2. General
High Altitude
For an optimal performance of the DML-1200 at high altitude, make sure that sufficient air flow is available (maximum ambient
temperature 30°C).
Device weight
Do not underestimate the weight of one DML-1200, which is about ±75 kg (±166 lb.). Be sure that the table or truss installation on
which the device(s) has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the complete system.
Power requirements
One DML-1200 requires 200-240 V,10A 50/60Hz
Clean air environment
A device must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will
be noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.
2.2 Unpacking the device
About the flight case
The DML-1200 is shipped in a flight case specifically designed to protect the device during transport. Once the device has arrived at
the installation site, take it out of the flight case and inspect the outside of the complete device for physical damage to components.

DMX interface
The communication interface of the DML-1200 supports DMX. The DML-1200 is DMX512-A protected.
DMX is used as communication bus between different devices in the light technic. Each device has an input and a thru, so that the
bus can be daisy chained between the different devices. According to the standard a two pair cable with shield and XLR connector
is used. The shield must not be connected to or be in contact with the shell or body of either male/female connector. Use cables
which are compliant with the DMX512 standard.
You can use the DMX input port (A) to connect a DMX device or lighting console. This way you can control the DML-1200 from that
lighting console. The DMX output port (G) can be connected to the next device in the daisy chain. The D
loop through and is functional even when the device is not powered.

Ethernet network communication
The DML-1200 can be connected to a LAN (local area network) using one of the Ethernet ports (C) on the communication interface.
Once connected to the LAN, users are capable of accessing the device from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company
network using the DML control software: Projector Toolset. This toolset locates the device on the network in case there is a DHCP
server or the user can insert the correct IP-address of the projector to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check
and manipulate all the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and
very simple operation. The network connectivity permits to detect potential errors and consequently improve the time to servicing.
Both Ethernet ports (C) are equipped with a yellow and green LED. The yellow LED lights up in case the port is connected with a
100/1000Mbit network. The green LED blinks in case there is network activity.
The connector used for the Ethernet ports (C) are of rugged Neutrik Et herCon RJ45 type, which is compatible
with standard RJ45 cable connector. Straight (most com mo n) as well as cross linked network cables can be
used.

Networking tips & tricks
• Use high quality network equipment
• Use CAT 5e or CAT 6 UTP cables
• Unless fitted by a professional network installer, do not use handmade cables. If handmade cables are used, make sure they
are made with proper tools and are tested on performance.
• For UTP cabling, limit the length of the cables to 50 meter. If a bigger distance needs to be covered, it’s adviced to use fiber
optics or repeaters (hubs).
• Do not pull the cables with brute force
• Do not run cables along with or close to electric cabling
• Avoid sharp bends in the cabling
• If possible, separate the network with the DMLs from any corporate or public network to avoid performance loss, contamination
(virus risk), and security breaches.
• It is advised to put all DMLs on the same network range (both embedded controller and EMP). This makes the network easier
to use and understand, and all components will be reachable for the Projector Toolset
For complex and large network setups, we advice to contact a professional network specialist an d installer.
USB port
The communication interface is equipped with two USB ports, type “A” connectors (E). These USB ports are use by service technicians to connect a keyboard and mouse to the available media player or another USB devi
ce.
VGA out
To connect a monitor to the available media player. This VGA out is used in combination with the USB ports to control the media
player for service purposes.

4.4 Linking DML-1200’s
Standard DMX linking
The number of devices on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required by all devices. One link (universe)
contains 512 channels.
DMX Universe 1
DMX Universe 2
DMX cable
Ethernet cable
Image 4-4
DMX linking
Therefore, one DMX universe can contain up to 4 DML-1200 devices with a Media Player and up to 10 devices without Media Player.
To control a DML-1200 without Media Player, 51 DMX channel are necessary. When the Media Player is available, 128 channels
are required.
How to make a link:
1. Connect the male connector of a DMX Data cable to the DMX Data Out connector of the console.
2. Connect the female connector to the DMX In connector of the first device.
3. Continue linking the remaining devices connecting a cable from the DMX Out connector of each device to the DMX In connector
of the next device on the link.
4. Connect a male terminator (120 Ω) to the DMX Out connector of the last device in the link.
DML-1200 devices use an Ethernet network also for controlling. The Ethernet cable can link all devices one after each other, without
looking to the DMX universes.

10.8 Iris
About the Iris
When projecting images in light mode, a circular beam is used. As the device is equipped with a rectangular DMD, the corners do
not produce light to create the circular beam but it was still possible that for certain contents (darker images) the corners are slightly
visible and not really black. To avoid this and to create a really black area around the circular beam an iris is mounted in front of the
lens.
This iris can be adjusted from fully open to almost closed (± 1 cm remains open). When the projector is on, the small opening should
prevent overheating of the lens and the iris mechanism.

Overview
When working in a multichannel setup, soft edge possibilities enable an image blending that gives the appearance of a single image
view. Without soft edge, the transition between two projected images will be visible. By adding a soft edge value, a smooth transition
can be obtained.

11.7 Warping
Overview
Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen. Consequently, it can
also be used to generate an image with irregular shape.
While an image can be transformed in various ways, pure warping doesn’t affect the colors.
Some examples of warped images, using the warp geometry settings:

12. EMBEDDED MEDIA PLAYER
12.1 About the media player
What is a media player ?
The media player plays video clips or still images which are stored on the internal hard disk of the media player. It contains one
master layer, 1 matte and 2 media layers . Effects are possible on both media layers and on the master layer. A mask can be set
on the master layer.
The embedded media player can operate in:
• Barco mode
• Hippotizer mode
By default, the Barco mode is selected. Switching to the Hippotizer mode is only possible with the Projector Toolset software. For
more information about the Hippotizer mode, consult the User manual written by Green Hippo Ltd.
Media player output
The output image of the media player can be a mix of both media layers each with their effects and the manipulations.
Below an overview of each layer capabilities:
• the content of the master layer is only manipulations like keystone, warp, effects, etc.
• the content of media layer is an image or a video clip manipulated by color effects, XYZ positioning, intensity, etc. .
• the content of the matte is an internally generated image based on algoritms.
12.2 Storing images or clips
Overview
All images and clips used by the media player are stored in banks. A bank is ’virtual folder’ containing clips and stills. Each bank
can contain up to 256 clips or stills.
The DML-1200 can contain 256 banks where bank 0 and bank 1 are pre-loaded ba
Barco’s MediaManager to upload your own clips and stills.
Bank 0 is the default Barco image bank (stills).

12.3.2 IN frame - OUT frame
Overview
The maximum possible length of a clip is 43 minutes 41.439 seconds. Clips with a longer duration will be cut off at that point.
IN frame is the point in time from where a clip is projected.
OUT frame is the point in time to where a clip is projected. This point is calculated always starting from 43 minutes 41.439 seconds
and back in time, even when the current clip has a shorter duration. DMX value 0 for both OUT frame channels is equal to 43
minutes 41.439 seconds. Higher DMX values will bring that point back into time
Only the part between IN frame and OUT frame is projected when IN frame and OUT frame are inside the clip.

Situation A : Clip duration is shorter that 43 minutes 41.439 seconds. OUT frame start point (DMX values 0 for both channels) is
outside the clip. The part between the IN frame point and the end of clip is played. To reduce the clip length, bring the OUT frame
point before the end of the clip by increasing the DMX values.
Situation B : Clip duration is equal to 43 minutes 41.439 seconds. OUT frame start point (DMX values 0 for both channels) is exactly
the end of the clip. Any change in DMX values for OUT frame will reduce the length of effective playing part of the clip.
Situation C: Clip duration is higher that 43 minutes 41.439 seconds. OUT frame start point (DMX values 0 for both channels) is
somewhere inside th
e clip. The complete clip cannot be played.

12.3.11 Image rotation speed - position
Overview
Image rotation position depends on the angle how the image is projected (indexed position). This position is determined by 2 channels, one for the coarse adjustment and one for the fine adjustment.
The coarse adjustment varies between 0 and 127 while the fine adjustment varies from 0 to 255 for each position of a coarse
adjustment.
Counter clock wise rotation of the projected image happens when the value for coarse channel is between 127 and 191. The value
for the fine channel can be any value between 1 and 255 for each position of the coarse value. The higher the value, the faster the
image will rotate.
A still image can be obtained when the value for the coarse channel is equal to 192 and the value for the fine channel is equal to 0.
Clock wise rotation of the projected image happens when the value for coarse channel is between 192 and 255. The value for the
fine channel can be any value between 1 and 255 for each position of the coarse value. The higher the value, the faster the image
will rotate.

12.3.14 Layer combination mode
12.3.14.1 Introduction
Overview
Combination modes are an essential tool to create multi-layer compositions. Combination modes allow to control how a layer interacts with another layer. For those not versed in the art of multi-layer compositions, simply look at combination mode as a way of
deciding what the transparency properties of a layer are in order to view the layer beneath it.
The combination modes explained in the next topics use two fixed images where possible. By switching the combination mode of
layer 2 you get the results. The Matte layer is set to Color with DMX parameter values all to zero (0) (Matte layer is black).
Layer interaction
Layers are structured as follow:

From top to bottom, the order is as follow:
• Master layer
• Layer 2
• Layer 1
•Matte
Layer combinations can be set on layer 1 and layer 2. These combination are set via a DMX value on channel 101 for layer 1 and
channel 128 for layer 2
The selection on layer 2 will be applied on layer 1 and the ’Matte’ layer.
The selection on layer 1 will be applied on the ’Matte’ layer.
12.3.14.2 Add
Overview
This adds the pixel value in both layers. This is a good way to combine non-overlapping images in two layers.
Higher pixels values represent lighter colors, adding layers with overlapping pixels lightens the image. Black areas in both layers
remain black. White in either layer results in wh
ite.

12.3.14.3 Sub
Overview
This subtracts the pixel values in layer 2 from the corresponding pixels in layer 1. Black in layer 2 has no influence in the result.
White in layer 2 gives black in the result.

12.3.14.4 Darken
Overview
When using ’Darken’ the white parts of the upper layer disappear. Anything darker than white has the potential of darkening the
underlying image.
Darken mode compares the active layer to the underlying image, only allowing those areas that are darker than the underlying image
to show up.

Overview
When using ’Lighten’, the black parts of the upper layer disappear and anything brighter than black has the potential of lightening
the underlying image.
Lighten mode compares the active layer to the underlying image only allowing those areas that are lighter than the underlying image
to show up.
