Safety

1.1 General considerations

General safety instructions

• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

• Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by

authorized Barco service dealers.

• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.

• All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.

• All local installation codes should be adhered to.

Notice on safety

This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1, as basis for National safety regulation world wide. The safety standard covers information technology equipment including electrical business equipment intended to operate in “normal” environments (offices and homes). This safety standard imposes important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing reduce the risk of hazards and contribute to ensure the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.

Notice on optical radiation

This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp based systems.

Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “Hazard Distance”.

1.2 Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock

• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source.

• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. If none of the

supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the groundingtype plug. Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the

cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have

not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power cord, contact your dealer.

• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.

• Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined

and approved for operation by qualified service personnel.

• Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should

be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.

• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Safety

• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to carry the

projector. The projector weights about ±26 kg (±57 lbs) without lens and rigging frame.

• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.

• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to

the eye.

• Warning: extremely high brightness projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness

(radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based systems. Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance (HD) is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)”, page 16.

• Based on international requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone

between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)”, page 16.

• Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.

• This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics

inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.

• A special device (“rigged frame”) based on an external frame must be used when the projector is deployed

in a hanging configuration, or when several projector must be stacked. See installation manuals for the correct use of these devices.

• 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 impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.

• Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Green Ethylene glycol diluted

(53% Glycol – 47% Demi water). When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact qualified service personnel. 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 noxious fumes.

• Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.

• All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.

• In case of using an external cooling system position the hoses of the cooling system so that they will not be

tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

To prevent fire hazard

• Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!

• Barco projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations.

This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone in the exhaust area must be not less than 100 cm (40”). The exclusion zone on the intake area must be not less than 50 cm (20”).

• Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The

concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.

• Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep flammable

and combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.

Safety

• Ensure no misalignment can occur. Prolonged exposure of wooden walls at close distance (< 20 cm) can

represent a fire risk. After alignment the projector shall be securely mounted to the pedestal.

• Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the

projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent

hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.

• Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.

To prevent projector damage

• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due

to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.

• The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area

would be monthly-minimum. Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.

• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.

• If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are

valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.

• 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.

1.4 Risk Group 3 Safety

1.4.1 General considerations

Notice on optical radiation from F80 Projector when it becomes Risk Group 3.

• For RG3, no direct exposure to the beam shall be permitted.

For RG3, operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure within the hazard distance.

• This projector has one or several built-in Class 4 laser clusters. Disassembly or modification is very

dangerous and should never be attempted.

• Any operation or adjustment not specifically instructed by the user’s guide creates the risk of hazardous

laser radiation exposure.

• Do not open or disassemble the projector as this may cause damage by the exposure of laser radiation.

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY means installation can only be carried out by Barco AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards associated with high intensity light beams.

WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3 (Risk Group 3) IEC 62471-5:2015

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1.4.2 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD

The 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)”, page 19.

To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors) the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at the height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter (SH) lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In non-cinema environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD.

These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section

6.6.5.

The end user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, barriers, detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation within the hazard distance.

For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters, resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the floor level. In non-cinema environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD. For example, a sufficiently large separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

Safety

For applications installed in the USA market the above limits for cinema like environments do not apply. The relevant minimum separation height is 2.5m (8,2 ft) by the FDA CDRH. Non cinema like environments require

2.5 meter (8.2 ft) separation height and 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) separation width for areas where restrained behavior

is to be expected. All other areas require 3.0 (9.9 ft) separation height.

TH Theater. RZ Restriction Zone in the theater. SH Separation Height. SWSeparation Width.

PR Projector.

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.

OnImage 1-2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier, like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1-2.

The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

2.1 Remote control, battery installation

Where to find the batteries for the remote control ?

The batteries are not placed in the remote control unit to avoid control operation in its package, resulting in a shorter battery life time. At delivery the batteries can be found in a separated bag attached to the remote control unit. Before using your remote control, install the batteries first.

How to install

1. Push the battery cover tab with the fingernail a little backwards (1) and pull, at the same time, the cover

upwards (2).

Image 2-1

2. Insert the two AA size batteries, making sure the polarities match the + and - marks inside the battery

compartment.

Tip: Use alkaline batteries for optimum range and life time.

Image 2-2

3. Insert (1) both lower tabs of the battery cover in the gaps at the bottom of the remote control, and press (2) the

cover until it clicks in place.

Image 2-3

R5906852-02 F80 series22

When replacing batteries, the broadcast address of the RCU will be reset to its default value '0'.

Page 23

CAUTION: Replace with the correct battery type. Use two AA size batteries. There is a risk of

explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.

CAUTION: Replace the battery as explained above. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed.

2.2 Using the mini-jack connector of the RCU

Connecting a cable with the mini-jack connector will reset the broadcast address of the RCU to its default value '0'.

How to use the mini-jack connector

1. Connect a cable with the mini-jack connector (reference 2 Image 2-4) of the RCU.

2. Connect the other end of the cable with the mini-jack input of the projector.

Remote Control Unit

Image 2-4

2.3 Remote control, on/off button

Purpose of the remote control on/off button

The Pulse remote control unit has at the front side an on/off switch (reference 1 Image 2-5). Switching off the remote control prevents that unwanted commands are send due to an accidental key press. Furthermore, switching the RCU off will extend the battery life time of the remote control.

To activate the remote control press the on/off button.

To deactivate the remote control press the on/off button again. Default when (re)placing batteries, is “ON”.

4.5 Power off projector

How to Switch off the projector

1. Use the standby button, or the Power On button on the remote control, to switch off the projector.

The projector will switch to READY mode first in order to run through a cool down phase (see “Power mode transitions”, page 36).

2. If ECO Standby mode is enabled in the service menu (refer to the section "GUI - system settings/Standby

ECO", in User Guide) the projector will automatically go to ECO standby mode after a time-out (default 15 minutes).

Some actions like apply a grey test pattern are done during the two minutes of the cool down phase in order to minimize the potential effect of burn-in and increase the projector lifetime.

CAUTION: Never switch off the projector by means of unplugging mains cord or by cut down of mains power.

Barco advises to keep the projector always powered and use the ECO mode for low power consumption.

R5906852-02 F80 series38

Page 39

Getting Started

How to unplug the projector

1. Follow the procedure above to Switch Off the projector.

2. Wait at least 2 minutes prior to unplug the projector by removing the power cord from the AC outlet.

CAUTION: It is very important to wait few minutes before unplug the power cord. If the cool down phase is not adhered, projector lifetime could be degraded.

4.6 Increasing the projector life time

General

Barco propose the following recommendations to increase the projector life time:

• Dimming out the laser output intensity (70%).

• Use the device in regulated temperature area.

• Apply the recommendations describe in the “Operating in 24/7 Mode” chapter if the projector is destined to

be operated continuously 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

Typical life time of the projector could be up to double if the laser output is dimmed to 75% and if the projector operate in 25°C temp condition.

4.7 Operation in 24/7 Mode

General

When the projector is destined to be operated continuously 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, Barco has a number of recommendations to increase the projector life time:

• Regularly, preferably twice a day if possible, switch off the projector during two minutes by using the

standby button. The power down action will automatically and invisibly trigger a grey test pattern running within the projector. Note: if you really don't want to shut down the projector, an alternative method is select the grey test pattern yourself within the normal “on” mode. This method is not as effective as completely shut down the projector, but may be a more workable alternative.

• Apply moving video content as much as possible, with on average a level of 50% white (long-term use of

extreme black or white content could potentially cause accelerated aging).

4.8 Using the RCU

Pointing to the reflective screen

1. Point the front of the RCU to the reflective screen surface.

R5906852-02 F80 series 39

Page 40

Getting Started

Image 4-3: IR control via reflective screen

Hardwired to the mini jack input

1. Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the front side (3,5mm mini jack) of the RCU.

2. Plug the other end in the connector on the communication interface of the projector, labelled ‘Remote

CTRL’(reference 1, Image 4-4).

Image 4-4

Note: Plugging the remote control will switch the broadcast address of the remote control to the default value '0'. This is the only broadcast address that will work when hardwired. If you want to change the broadcast address after disconnecting the remote control, see “Projector Address”, page

41.

Pointing directly to the IR sensor

When using the wireless remote control, make sure you are within the effective operating distance (30m, 100ft in a straight line). The remote control unit will not function properly if strong light strikes the sensor window or if there are obstacles between the remote control unit and the projector IR sensor.

Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Broadcast address

Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that broadcast address.

4.9.1 Controlling the projector

Why a projector address?

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, each projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. Therefore each projector has its own address.

Set up an individual Projector Address

The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.

Projector controlling

When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now:

• with the RCU: only for addresses between 1 and 31.

Broadcast Address

Every projector has a broadcast (common) address '0' or '1'. The default address is '0'. The choice between '0' and '1' can be selected in the GUI: “System Settings” → “Communication” →“IR Control

“.

R5906852-02 F80 series 41

7.7 Displaying HDR content – Perceptual Quantizer

(PQ)

About PQ

Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) is a non–linear electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) that allows for the display of High Dynamic Range (HDR) content with a luminance level of up to 10 000 cd/m² and can be used with the Rec. 2020 color space.

How to properly display HDR content?

If your provided HDR content has been mastered with PQ (e.g. HDR10 and Dolby Vision), a few changes can be made in order to project the intended mastering on screen. These changes are necessary because HDR

R5906852-02 F80 series62

Page 63

GUI – Image

content has been mastered specifically for HDR capable displays that are watched in living rooms. These conditions are different from a non-HDR projector and darker cinema-like environments.

The projected HDR content depends on the following factors:

• Mastering luminance: This is content-specific and cannot be changed.

• Screen luminance: Every projection screen has a specific luminance (measured in nits or foot-lambert).

Entering this luminance in the projector will adapt the content towards the intended HDR result.

• HDR Boost: A variable “booster” that may amplify or downplay the HDR output.

How to set the PQ?

1. In the main menu, select Image → Advanced → PQ.

Image 7-21

The PQ menu is displayed.

Image 7-22

2. Select the desired Unit (nits or foot-lambert).

3. Enter the Screen luminance (either in nits or foot-lambert).

4. Alter the HDR boost if necessary. You can modify this value to somewhere between 0.8 and 1.2.

8.4 Warping

8.4.1 About 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.

8.4.2 Warping – On/Off

About warping on/off

By toggling between on and off the warping functionality can be enabled or disabled.

How to toggle

8.4.3 Warping – Screen Size

About (Warp) Screen Size adjustment

If the used source aspect ratio is different than the projector aspect ratio, e. g. source is 16:9 and projector is 16:10, then black bars will be projected. In the example case a black bar on top and bottom of the image will be projected. The warp area contains not only the image information but also the black bars. If we want to position e.g. the active left top corner exactly on the screen using 4 corner warp, then it is very hard to do that as we are moving the black left top corner and we do not have control over the exact position of image left top corner. By moving the outline of the warp screen size to the active image information, the corner points of the warp area are now exactly on the corner points of the active image information and makes warping much easier.

8.4.6 Warping – Warp files

About custom Warp Files

Next to setting your specific warp configuration in the GUI, you can also upload or download a custom warp grid in XML format to/from the projector. This is a time-saving option when multiple projectors need an identical Warp configuration.

To upload or download warp files you can use Projector Toolset or Prospector tool to upload/download the warp grid in the format of an XML file. Alternatively, you can contact the “file endpoint” directly via the curl program or some other tool that supports http upload.

For more information on uploading/downloading Warp files using the Projector Toolset, refer to the Projector Toolset user manual.

For more information on uploading/downloading Warp files using curl or other tools that supports HTTP upload, refer to the Pulse API Reference Guide.

8.4.7 Warping – Latency control in a multi projector setup

Transport latency

The added delay in the image processing chain. The value is the number of lines relative to the output resolution.

Latency

The total time from the first pixel is coming in on an input source, until the first light representing that pixel is visible on the screen. This includes the transport delay. The value is normally given in milliseconds.

Functional description

Every projector in a multi–projector setup will have a different latency. This latency depends on the amount of warp and on the frequency of the projected image. In order to have no visible difference in the overall projected image, the user needs to be able to control the latency of each projector.

The latency value can be read out in the status menu for each individual projector.

How to configure transport delay?

1. Read out and note the latency of each projector in the multi-projector setup. You can find this latency under

Transport delay in the status menu for each projector.

Image 8-36: Example of the latency readout

2. Identify the projector with the longest delay.

3. For each projector in the setup, select Installation → Warp in the main menu.

8.5 Blending & masking

About Blending & Masking

Blending is used in multi channel installation to have a seamless transition between the channels. Image blending gives the appearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of wide screen applications.

The principle is that the light intensity in the blend zone from each projector will be adjusted individually, so that the rendering on the screen are perceived as from one projector.

GUI – Installation

Image 8-40

From the start (mask) position, you can blend zone size per edge (left, top, right, bottom). For each edge there will be a drop-off curve for the blend zone.

8.5.1 Blend & Mask

About masking and blending width or height

Offset is used to clip the image on one or multiple sides (masking). This is used to hide parts of the picture that should not be shown on the screen. For example: if the source is a Windows PC, you can hide the menu bar using this method.

The larger the Mask value, the more the image is masked (by black bar) at the corresponding side. E. g. Top mask of 100 will blank the top 100 lines.

Height or width is used to create a blending zone with a smooth brightness drop off. This is used to compensate for the double brightness in overlap areas. The value is the size of the blended area in pixels.

How to adjust blend zones?

1. In the main menu, select Installation → Blend and Mask → Blend – Mask.

Image 8-41: Blend and Mask menu, Blend – Mask

The Blend – Mask menu is displayed.

3. To project masking lines on the screen, put the Show lines switch to the right. The color of the switch

becomes blue when enabled.

4. Determine the start position of the mask (1) for the masking height and width, together with the desired size of

the mask (2) to determine the width of the masked area.

When the blending lines are activated, you will get a visual indication of the screen of the installed blending area.

5. Select one of the four starting positions values with the arrow keys and confirm.

6. Use the arrow keys or remote digits to change the value of the mask and confirm.

7. Repeat this process for the desired width/height value.

8. Repeat this process for all other desired sides.

Do not forget to disable the Show lines button after you achieved the desired blend zone.

R5906852-02 F80 series 81

Page 82

GUI – Installation

Example of the use of blending

When projecting an image with 2 or more projectors, there is always an small overlap that should be corrected by using the blending function.

In order to obtain a satisfying result for the Blend function, the overlap / mask zone are recommended to be at least 10% of the picture width.

The basic principle is that the overlap setup in the source shall correspond with the mask width setup for the projector. That means that if the overlap zone for the source is set to 500 pixels, the width of the mask zone for the projector also must be set to 500 pixels.

First step is to align the image from the projectors as accurate as possible in a mechanical way, meaning without any optical corrections. At the same time, establish an overlap in the pictures between the two screens.

Then adjust the remaining irregularities by using the shift and warp features in the projectors to obtain the last fine tuning of the alignment.

Enable blending and activate Show lines.

First set the mask width for the right edge of the first projector. Enter a width value equal to the overlap area (width1).

Repeat for the left edge of the second projector.

Adjust the offset to cut the image on each side (masking).

8.5.3 Basic black level adjustment

About adjusting the black level

The purpose of the black level adjustment is to align the black levels in the overlapped regions with the black levels in the other regions.

This is needed because the black levels will be brighter in the blend zones, since multiple projectors will project on the same screen area.

The size of the black level area is calculated automatically from the blend zones. This is done by using the start position and size of each edge of the blend and adding an additional size of 8 pixels to reduce the effect known as "sea of mirrors".

You can also specify the offsets manually by turning off the automatic calculation. The black level value is adjusted in a 8 bit resolution from 0 to 255.

The following figure shows how this occurs in a side by side configuration without any correction of the black level.

8.5.5 RGB adjustment

About RGB adjustment

The purpose of black level correction is to ensure a uniform black level in multi projector setups. Even when two projectors are of the same type, different projectors will output slightly different colors for black due to minor variations in their optical components. So if the projected image of the projectors overlap, there will be 3 different black levels: one for the zone where only the picture of the left projector (zone 1), one for the Blend zone (zone 2), and one for the zone where there is only the picture of the right projector (zone 3).

Image 8-55

The black levels for zone 1 and zone 3 are typically corrected by defining a black level mask, which is applied to the image of each projector. This system is already in place but the applied mask is monochrome.

R5906852-02 F80 series86

Page 87

GUI – Installation

Using the Basic Black Level menu, you can already specify the area of the mask and its contents. But by using the RGB Adjustment page, you can specify the multiplication factors (gains) for the Red, Green and Blue colors separately.

8.6 Laser illumination

What can be done?

Within a certain percentage, the light output of the light source can be reduced by reducing the laser power.

Alternatively, you can enable CLO mode (Constant light output) for a constant light output over a longer period of time.

You can only change the power output when the shutter is opened.

About CLO mode

All light sources naturally decrease their intensity over time. In order to prevent a decreasing output in a multiprojector setup, you can activate CLO mode to make sure that the light output remains constant.

CLO mode will ensure that the projector regulates its illumination power to maintain the same level of output light during the lifetime of the light source. This requires that the light source power is not set to 100% from the start, but to a lower value. The lower this value is set, the longer the projector will be able to maintain the output level.

How to reduce the power

1. In the main menu, select Installation → Illumination → Power.

8.8 3D projection

3D setup

The projector is capable of displaying 3D images and movies in active stereoscopic 3D.

Setup of a 3D installation requires an advanced understanding of 3D systems, both for the projector as well as for the system the signal source originates from. In a 3D setup it is crucial that the projected images are perfectly synchronized through the whole signal path, from the signal source to the picture viewed through the 3D goggles.

Regarding setting up the proper signal source, please refer to the user manual or online help for that graphic card. For example: when using NVIDIA Quadro cards, use the NVIDIA Control Panel to manage your 3D settings.

8.8.1 Active Stereo & Passive Stereo

What is Passive Stereo?

Passive Stereoscopic 3D (also known as “Passive Stereo”) is the standard method of creating the illusion of depth in an image, by means of stereopsis for binocular vision.

To present stereoscopic pictures, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through polarizing filters or presented on a display with polarized filters. For Digital Cinema, a silver screen is used so that polarization is preserved. On most passive displays every other row of pixels are polarized for one eye or the other. This method is also known as interlacing.

The viewer wears glasses which contain a pair of opposite polarizing filters. As each filter only passes light which is similarly polarized and blocks the opposite polarized light, each eye only sees one of the images, and the effect is achieved.

R5906852-02 F80 series90

Page 91

GUI – Installation

What is Active Stereo?

Field sequential 3D (also known as active 3D or “Active Stereo”) is a technique of displaying stereoscopic 3D images. It works by only presenting the image intended for the left eye while blocking the right eye's view, then presenting the right-eye image while blocking the left eye, and repeating this so rapidly that the interruptions do not interfere with the perceived fusion of the two images into a single 3D image.

This system setup uses liquid crystal shutter glasses (also known as active shutter glasses). Each eye's glass contains a liquid crystal layer which has the property of becoming opaque when voltage is applied, being otherwise transparent. The glasses are controlled by a timing signal that allows the glasses to alternately block one eye, and then the other, in synchronization with the refresh rate of the screen. The timing synchronization to the video equipment may be achieved via a wired signal or via wireless communication, this by using either an infrared or radio frequency (e.g. Bluetooth, DLP link) transmitter.

Projection method used

This projector can only show active 3D images, used in combination with a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses. While it is allowed to connect passive stereo source signals, the image processing of the projector will convert those signals to an active 3D compatible image.

The options on the projector software allow you to fine-tune the 3D settings accordingly to the specifications of the 3D emitter.

If a 3D emitter is used that radiates IR beams, the IR beams may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU. If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable. It is also advised to turn the IR receivers on the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. To turn off the IR receivers, see “Remote control, on/off button”, page 23.

8.8.2 Setup process 3D projection

How to setup 3D projection?

1. Connect the proper source cables to the projector. For more info, see “Connection possibilities”, page 91.

2. Set up and connect your 3D emitter to the projector. For more info, refer to the user manual of your 3D emitter.

3. Power on the projector completely.

4. Select the correct stitched source Input in the Source menu. See section dedicated to the Displaying Multiple

sources in the GUI-Source chapter.

5. Select the desired Display format. For more info, see “Choosing the desired Display Setup”, page 92.

8.8.5 3D emitter Setup

Why change the 3D setup?

While Barco can provide a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses as options to this projector, you are also free to use a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses of your own choice. Since glasses and emitter can have various

R5906852-02 F80 series92

Page 93

GUI – Installation

specifications compared to the ones Barco can provide, the 3D setup menu allows you to configure the output image to the specifications of your glasses and emitter. The following can be configured:

• Swap Eye: You can choose to invert the stereo Sync output signal ( depending on the chosen 3D emitter

and glasses).

• Swap frame pair: This setting allows you to correct the frame doubling sequence. If the frame rate of the

projected moving 3D content doesn’t look smooth, this option may help improve this.

• Dark time: You can select how much dark time the projected image will have between frames. You can

choose one of the options between 1000 µs and 2500 µs.

• Sync Delay: You can increase or decrease the sync delay. The scale goes from –10 000 µs to +10 000 µs

with a step of 100 µs.

If a 3D emitter is used that radiates infrared beams (IR beams), the IR beams may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU. If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable. It is also advised to turn the IR receivers on the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. To turn off the IR receivers, see “Remote control, on/off button”, page 23.

9.1 Communication

About a network connection

Network connection is required to communicate with the projector via LAN or Internet. The setup could be done manually (set address, subnet mask and default gateway according to network specification), or automatically assign (DHCP).

9.1.1 Introduction to a Network connection

DHCP

Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Subnet mask

A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local area network.

Default Gateway

A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

MAC address

Media Access Control address. Unique hardware number, used in combination with the IP-address to connect to the network (LAN or WAN).

What should be set up for an Ethernet address?

Two ways can be used to assign an address:

• use the Automatic setting so that an automatic address will be assigned.

• Assign manually an IP address, Net-mask (subnet-mask), (default) gateway address.

- Set the IP-Address field to the desired value. This must NOT be 0.0.0.0 for static IP-Address

assignment. The IP address identifies a projector's location on the network in the same way a street address identifies a house on a city block. Just as a street address must identify a unique residence, an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.

- Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.

- Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on the

same network as this projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network. This must not be 0.0.0.0. If there is no router on the projector's local subnet then just set this field to any IP-Address on the subnet.

9.2.2 Projector address

About individual projector address

Before a projector, and only this projector, can be controlled via a remote control, an individual address must be entered in the projector.

This individual projector address can then be used to control the projector via remote control.

Next to an individual projector address, each projector has also a broadcast address for group control.

How to change

1. In the main menu, select System Settings → Communication → IR Control.
