To prevent fire hazard
•Barco projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most s tringent 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 m aterials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material,
resultinginafire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external s urfaces 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 not be less than 50 cm (20”).
•Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
•For the F90 projector, the exclusion zone on the lens side within the light beam must be at least 1,5m.
•For the F70 projector the exclusion zone on the lens side within the light bea m must be at least 1,0m.

Projector controlling
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255.
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now:
•with the RCU: only for addresses between 0 and 31.
•with a computer: for any address between 0 and 255.
Broadcast Address
Every projector h as a broadcast (common) address ’0’ or ’1’. The default address is ’0’.
The choice between ’0’ and ’1’ c an be selected in the GUI: “Sy stem Settings” → “Communication” →“IR Control “.
Placing new batteries in the remote control o r p lugging t he remote to a projector via XLR cable will automatically reset the address back to its default value ’0’.
2.10.2 Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU
Displaying the P roje ctor Address on the Screen.
1. P ress the Address button to s ee the projector address (proximately 2 seconds).
The projector ’s address is displayed on the LCD status screen.
How to Program an Address into the RCU?

3.4Lens shift
General
Use the Remo te control or the keypad on the P rojector to adjust the lens s hift mechanism.
The lenses can be shifted vertically and horizontally to facilitate precise image positioning in single and multiple projecto r systems.
The projector allows for horizontal and vertical shift in both directions. Always place the projector perpendicular to the screen, and
use the lens shift to align the picture.
If not possible to align the projector perpendicular to the s creen, due to environmemt of other, see chapt
er "Warp", page 56

4.4Positioning the projector
CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental
or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user. The
Projector are heavy, and can cause severe damage and injuries if falling.
General guidelines
Proper positioning of the projector lessens the overall picture setup time, and ens ures a better image with fewer artifacts.
Focus and sharpness of the image can be adversely affected if the lens axis is not fully perpendicular to the
projection surface.
Using extended cable lengths may result in reduced image quality as well as loss of control information such
as EDID (Extended Display Inform ation Data).
The following guidelines can help you determine the best physical location for the projector.
•Only install the projector on a s turdy flat s urface, or in an approved rigg
•Do not install the projector in a thoroughfare or other area where it is at risk of being pus hed or jostled.
•Allow sufficient free space around the projector for ventilation and exhaust, as described in section "Installation conditions",
page 33.
•Use the throw ratio of the ins talled lens as a guideline for the projector ’s physical distance from the screen.
•Wherever possible, the projector lens surface should be positioned so that it is perfectly perpendicular to the cen ter of the
screen.
Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning.
•Minimize the source cable length as much as possible.
In general HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are long-haul interfaces and suitable for bespoke installations using relatively long cables.
DP, HDMI and DVI are short-haul interfaces using pre-assembled cables with limited cable lengths.
•Limit the use of power cable extensions wherever possible. Where physical limitations necessitate their use, make sure that
the extension cord has adequate surge protection and meets all electrical requirements of the connection.
•Keep the projector away from equipment that emits electromagnetic energy for example, motors, transformers and elevators.
ing frame.
4.5Mounting the projector, general considerations
Mounting safety
When mounting a projector in a rig, always use an interface plate (between the projector and the mount) that has provision for a
safety wire or another safety mechanism, to ensure that the projector does not fall down should the interface plate come loose from
the m ount.
Always screw the interface plate securely to the projector body while the projector is on the ground (i.e. cannot fall down). Then
attach proper safety wire between the interface plate and the rig before mounting the projector in the rig
Using 3rd party mounting equipment
The projector has features for mounting into vari
Four m ounting inserts are located on the bottom of projector. The ceiling mount inserts have a pull-strength of more than 4x the
weight of the projector.
The feets can also be removed and threads can be used for additional mounting points. See table below for dimensions.

CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental
or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer an d user.
CAUTION: Always use a Rigging Frame when the projector shall be mounted in other ways than on the feet,
on a flat surface.
Installation and use of the Rigging Frame are described in document R5906768 F90 Multifunctional Frame —

4.7Throw distance
Calculate the installation throw distance
Throw is the distance (D) measured from your projector lens to the screen. To calculate the throw distance for an installation, you
will need two pieces of da
width (W) is 2.4 m eters and the projector lens has a throw ratio ( L) of 0.99:1, then the throw distance (D) will be 2.38 meters.
Calculation: 2.4 x 0.99 = 2.38
The following graphs illustrate the image size (W) and projection distance (D) for each of the projector lenses.

Tolerances are typically +/- 5% due to optical (lens) variation.
The lens holder has to be adjusted s o that the “sharp focus plane” of the projected image falls together with the plane of the screen

image on the screen due to a tilt (or swing) of the lens plane with respect to the DMD plane. This is also know n as Scheimpflug’s
law. To solve this the lens plan

Scheimpflug principle
The "plane of sharp focus" can be changed so that any plane can be brought into sharp focus. W hen the DMD plane
and lens plane are parallel, the plane of sharp focus will also be parallel to these two planes. If, however, the lens
plane is tilted with r espect to the DMD plane, the plane of sharp focus will also be tilted according to geometrical and
optical properties. The DMD plane, the principal lens plane and the sharp focus plane will intersect in a line be low the
projector for downward lens tilt.
Scheimpflug adjustment points
Scheimpflug adjustment points are located on the lens mount. The F90 has three (3) set screws and three (3) adjustment screws.
When to apply Scheimpflug?
Scheimpflug correction procedures may only be carried out by suitably trained and experienced tech nicians.
A Scheimpflug correction should only be applied when the overall focus of the projected image is not equally sharp (for example, if the
projector is NOT in parallel with the screen or as a result of a previously misaligned Sc heimpfl ug). Be aware that the consequence of
applying Scheimpflug correction upon a screen not in parallel with the projector is that the projected image differs from the rectangle
shaped image. In other words “distortion” of the projected image occurs. Masking will be required to solve the distortion.
The disadvantage of Masking is loss of content. T herefore it is st rongly recommended to place the projector in parallel with the
projection screen and use the SHIFT functionality of the Lens Holder to match the projected im age with the projection screen. If the
SHIFT range is not sufficient then the projector can be tilted and Scheimpflug can be applied.
4.9Scheimpflug adjustment procedure
CAUTION: A Scheimpflug adjustment should only be carried out by properly qualified and experienced pro-
jection specialists. A poor Scheimpfl ug adjustment may result in an extremely degraded image and will require
factory—servicing to the projector.

About
Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen, typically by non
perpendicular alignment of the projector versus the screen. The image will then typically oc cur as shown inim age 8-2.
While an im age can be transformed in various ways, pure warping doesn’t affect the colors.

4 corners adjustment
Installation / Warp / 4 Corners Adju
Basically, this type of warping adjusts each o f the four image corners in the X and Y direction, if you have a typical trapezoid picture
of the screen as shown above.
To have a successful Warp correction, the size of the screen must be entered. The size are expressed in the X and Y m easured
values, independent of the term of the measurement. (mm, inches, yards or whatever), but must be expressed in whole numbers
without decimals. This means that the accuracy are higher when given in mm than in inches. The projector then calculate the aspect
ratio.
All four corners can be adjusted and the image correction is calculated accordingly us ing perspective algorithm. This can be used
for keystone correction.
Use the navigational arrows to adjust the image.
Changes occur dynamically to the image display.
How to adjust Warp
Enter the Warp menu, Enable the Warp button, and select the corners that must be adjusted.
Use the arrow keys to move the corners.

8.4Basic Blend
About
When two projectors are used together to make one picture on the screen, the blend function must be activated. This blend function
ensures a seamless transition of the images between the two projectors.
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.
The blend function can be enabled for both pictures over/under, and pictures side by side.

How to set up the system
In this chapter, the setup procedure for the projectors is explained, but a setup procedure must also be performed for the picture
source.
In order to obtain a satisfying result for the Blend function, the overlap / Blend zone are recommended to be
at least 10% of the p icture width.
601–0400 F90 SERIES. 10/05/201757
Page 62
8. Installation menu
The basic principle is that the overlap setup in the source shall correspond with the blend width setup for the projector. That means
that if the overlap zone for the source is set to 500 pixels, the width of the blend zone for the projector also must be set to 500 pixels.
First step is to align the image from the projectors as ac curate as possible in a mechanical way, meaning without any optical corrections. At the same time, es tablish 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.
Setup the source to a blend which corresponds with the preset overlap on the screen. There are different ways to do this, depending
on the source. Refer to the source unit’s manual for this issue.
Adjust the Blend for the projectors as described below.
Blend adjustment procedure
Entering the Blend Adjustme nt from the Home menu, either by the remote control, or the keypad on the projector.Home/Installation/Blend/Blend ZonesThe menu sho wn below appears on the O SD.
The “Enable” button enables/disables the blend function. The “Show Lines” enables alignment lines on the screen, in order to
visualize the overlap/blend zone.

How to calibrate the Blend Zone with pictures side by side.
Use the up/down/left/right arrow key on the remote control or key pad to n avigate in the m enu.
For Blend adjustment in side by side configuration, the steps are as follows, starting with the left picture:
•By the arrow keys, place the display cursor on respectively the “Enable” zone and the “Show Lines” zone and activate them by
pressing enter.
•Using the arrow keys, place the cursor on the “Right Width” zone, press enter.
•Adjust the width value by using the arrow keys up (or down), one step at a t ime. By pressing the key arrow constantly, the blend
value will increase rapidly. The numeric value of the width is shown on the screen next to the alignment line. The numberentered represent the movement expressed in number of pixels.Confirm position by pressing enter.
•Exit the menu by using the ex it button on the remote co ntrol.
For the right picture, repeat the procedure, but adjust the Left Width instead of the right width.
When the projectors a re correctl
For B lend adjustments in over / under configuration, the procedure is the same, b ut use the Top and Bottom height instead, and
perform a similar procedure.

General guidelines for cleaning projector lenses
Blow off dust with clean com pres sed air (or pressurized air cans) .
Use lens cleaner and a clean lens cleaning cloth to remove the dust and contamination.
Wipe in broad strokes, in one direction only.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
Use a d ry clean lens cleaning cloth to remove left liquid or stripes. Polish with small circles.
If there are still fingerprints on the sur face, repeat with lens cleaner and a clean lens cleaning cloth, then polish again with a dry cloth.
If smears occur w hen cleaning lenses, replace t he cloth. Smears are the firstindicationofadirtycloth.
13.2 Projector cabinet
WARNING: Always di sconnect the projector from the m ains pow er net before attemp ting to clean the projec-
tor cabinet.
General guidelines for cleaning the projector cabinet (exterior only)
Clean the housing of the projector with a dam p cloth. Stubborn stains may be rem oved with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild
detergent solution.
13.3 Filters
General info r egarding Air intake and filters.
The product is shipped default without any filters and by avoiding filters, the ventilation system operates for longer periods between
maintenance, since no clogging of filters means m ore air is allowed through the system, resulting in lower operating temperatures
over time. The air intake are just protected by a mesh. This mesh has to be vacuum cleaned occasionally when needed. No specific
interval for this operation, but to be performed when needed.
For more demanding surrounds both smoke an d dust filters can be applied externally to the system to avoid internal fouling.
General guidelines for cleaning projector filters (external)
Remove the filter from the projector then use a vacuum to remove excess dust from the filter. Do not wet or soak the filter.
Cleaning of the projector filter should be done in a sep arate room to avoid dust contamination.
