2.4Installation process overview
Set up from A to Z
After you have unpacked and checked the projector you can start with the installation process of your DP-1200 digital projector. This
chapter gives you an overview of all the different stages in the installation process which you have to follow to set your DP-1200
digital projector up and running. Each stage is briefly des cribed and refers to more detailed step by step procedures in this manual.
Use this ove rview as a checklist to ensure that you have followed all stages in the setup process of your DP-1200 digital projector.
Overview of the installation process stages:
1.Check if all installation requirements are fulfilled such as the environment conditions of the installation area, capacity of the
exhaust system, electrical facilities, etc. No te that a solid pedestal is re quired to support the projector head. For more info see
chapter "Installation requirements", page 10.
2.Physical installation of the projector upon its pedestal and c onnecting the air outlet of the projector with the exhaust system.
Note that the exhaust system is M AND ATORY. See chapters "Positioning the DP-1200 at port window", page 18, and "Installation of the exhaust system", page 21.
3.Electrical connection with the power net. See chapter "Connecting the projector with the power net", page 22.
4.Installation of a suitable UPS unit or bypass the power in and outlet for the projector electronics. See chapters "Connecting
an UPS with the projector electronics", pag e 26 or "Power loop through to the projector electronics", page 24.
5.Installation of the xenon bulb lamp in case the xenon bulb lamp is not installed in the lamp house yet. To install the xenon
bulb lamp the lam p house has to be removed from the projector. To install the xenon bulb lamp correctly and in a safe manner,
see the detailed step by step procedures in the chapter "Lamp & Lamp House", page 27.
6.Installation of the lens. First select an appropriate lens which trough ratio covers the screen size and the projector - screen
distance. Then install the lens in the lens holder of the projector. For more information about available lenses, lens selection
and lens installation see chapter "Lenses & lens holder", page 45.
7.Installation of the Communicator Touch Panel. See chapter "Communicator touch panel", page 65.
8.Alignment of the projected image on the screen. The projector can now be switched on to project its first image (test pattern)
on the screen. Then the image can be aligned with the screen size of the application. F ollow the next steps to achieve that:
a) Place the ON/OFF switch of the projector in the ”I” position. As a result the projector s tarts to initialize. The s tatus lights of
the projector lights up GREEN once the projector is initialized.
b) Press the STANBY button on the local keypad to activate the lam p.
c) Press the DOWSER button on the local keypad to open the dowser of the projector. The dowser is open if the backlight
color of the DOWS ER button is GREEN.
d) Press the TES T PATTERN button on the local keypad to project one of the internal test patterns of the projector on the
screen.
e) Use the lens ZOOM , SHIFT and FOCUS buttons on the local keypad the match the projected image with the screen. Note
that not all lenses have a motorized zoom. If this is the case, use the z oom barrel upon the lens instead. Tilt the p rojector
in case you can not SHIFT the image completely upon the screen. See "Lens shift, zoom & focus", page 52.
9.Resetting the lamp parameters. The “LAMP INFO” parameters which are stored on the controller board of the projector
MUST be updated after each installation of an xenon bulb
performance and short life time of the xenon bulb lamp. See chapter "Resetting the lamp parameters", page 42.
10. Realignment of the xenon bulb lamp in its reflector. For optimal performance of the xenon bulb lamp it is required to realign
the lamp after installation in the lamp house. See "Realignment of the lamp in its reflector", page 43 for more information.
11. Adjusting the light path. Normally the lens holder and the convergence of the projector is perfectly adjusted at factory. Nev-
ertheless, som e applications require a readjustment of the lens holder or convergence or both. See procedure "Scheimpflug
adjustment", page 53, to adjust the Sc heimpfl ug and see chapter "Convergence (w ith extenders)", page 109 to adjust the convergence of the light pa th.
12. Registration of the projector. The DP-1200 digital projector is DCI compliant and should be registered by Barco. Therefore,
the digital cert ificate ins ide the projector will be used to secure encryption key communication between the projector and the
rest of the theatre system (server and theatre management system). For more info see chapter "Projector registration", page
75.
13. Projection of a digital cinema movie. Apply a sing
and start up the projector. See chapter "Source input ports of the DP-1200 projector", page 64 and "Starting up ", page 71. Use
the Communicator Touch Panel to configure the applied source. See the user guide of the Communicator Touch P anel for more
and detailed information.

Projector centering
1. If the projector is standalone in front of the port window, center the projector with the theatre screen (see ref A image 3-2).
2. If a film projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (see ref B imag e 3-2).
Note: Unlike film projec tors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the s creen as possible, even if it is
significantly above the screen center.
The off-center position slightly increase side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
