Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco
must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning,
at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement
at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a
reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component
of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties
guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods are handled incorrectly,
in particular if the systems are operated i
ncorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in
the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures
which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal
maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.

1.1 About
About this manual
This manual describes the Barco Galaxy NH-12 projector.
It contains 4 main chapters :
1. Installation : The mechanical setup of the projector.
2. Setup : Adjusting the projection parameters in order to get the best image reproduction.
3. Getting started : Start the projector for daily use.
4. Advanced : Advanced operation and setup using the remote control and the projector’s OSD.
About the Galaxy NH-12
The Barco Galaxy NH-12 is the world’s first active stereoscopic projector with Windows desktop integration that can project 2D
mono and 3D stereo images simultaneously in full native 1080p HD. It is a network-centric projector, which greatly increases its
ease-of-use in image critical and virtual reality applications with large amount of data.

3.1 General Installation Guidelines
WARNING: Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5976125)
delivered with the projector.
Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion.
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 35°C or 95°F
Min. ambient temperature : 10°C or 50 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature is higher than 40°C or 104°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
CAUTION: Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Environment condition check
A projector 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 non-effective 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
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting
of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital MicroMirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty

3. Installation guidelines
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they refl ect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration
called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier.
What image size? How big should the image be?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max 15 m (49.21ft) (depending on the ambient light
conditions), with the native aspect ratio of the projector.
3.2 Air flow guidelines
What are the air flow guidelines ?
The Air Outlet on the side of the Projector can reach high temperatures due to the High Light Output Range of the lamp.

Air inlet obstruction
air intake
CAUTION: Never obstruct the cooling air inlet at the bottom of the projector.
Always insure there is enough space between the bottom of the projector and the floor, to allow air to enter
the projector.
WARNING: Do not touch this Air Outlet when the projector is switched on.

4.2.3 Shift capabilities
Description
The maximum vertical and horizontal shift range depends on the lens. Shifting outside this range will not guarantee a full image i.e.
some corners of the image will be clipped and will not be visible (will appear dark on the screen).
The table below gives an overview of the shift capabilities in function of the lens :

4.4 Positioning the projector
On-Axis projection
Projection where the projector is positioned so as to have the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen.
Positioning the projector
The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector
can be positioned in an On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. Several parameters can be calculated determinin
installation.
