Overview

• General Installation Guidelines

•Airﬂow guidelines

• Projector position

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 source excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not excessive.

s such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

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.

Image 3-1 Air outlets

Image 3-2 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.

4.4 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 determining the position in any installation.

The linking of projectors is treated in the section “Setup of the linked projectors in a multichannel system”

4.5.10.2 Network settings

CAUTION: Make sure that a DHCP server is available in the network and works ﬁne.

In normal conditions, the network detection takes few seconds. This means that the total time needed to go from power ON to Standby mode is only a few seconds. This value can vary depending on the speed of the network connection.

But when the DHCP setting of the projector is set to Yes and the network does not allow the projector to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the startup time will be delayed by upto ﬁve minutes. After this time, a time-out occurs if the network detection fails, and the projector starts up without any network connection.

Once the projector is operational, the information strings are rotating in the same way as in the standby mode (see Standby Status)

5.3 Setting up the RCU address

What has to be done ?

To allow the communication between the RCU and the projector the RCU has to be programmed with the same address as the projector.

This address must be in the range 0-9.

To know the address of the projector, one can visualize it in projection mode (on screen) as well as in standby mode (shown with the LED’s on top cover of the projector).

At this stage, the image projected may happen to be upside down or mirrored, this can be set in the Installation menu under Projector orientation (see further setting up the projector’s orientation).

Displaying the Projector Address in projection mode)

1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.

The projector’s address will be displayed on the screen in a Textbox

Programming the RCU

1. Push the address key If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default address (zero address) and controls then all projectors in the room.

2. Enter the same address with the digit buttons within 5 seconds after pushing the address key.

The projector can now be controlled with the RCU.

For example : if the projector address is 3, then press "3" on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to match the projector’s address.

Common address/Projector address : Beside the projector address, the projector disposes also of a Common address which can be set to “0” or “1” (by default “0”).

In other words, an RCU set to address “0” will always control a projector regardless of its projector address (since it uses the common address).

5.4 Setting up the projector address (only if necessary)

What can be done ?

The projector is shipped with projector address set to ”0”

R59770286 NW-12 07/09/2009

7.4.3 Aspect ratio

Aspect ratios

The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio.

However, most of the DVD sources nowadays use the wide screen 16:9 or even the Cinemascope

Some DVD sources may even use the anamorphic 16:9 or anamorphic 2.35:1 to take advantage of the higher vertical resolution offered by the 4:3 ratio. The term “anamorphic” means that the original wide screen image is squeezed in order to ﬁt the 4:3 aspect ratio.

7.4.5 Input balance (RGB signals only)

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals

When transporting signals, there always is a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.

The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbalanced.

Black level

The objective of input balancing

The objective in input balancing is to “set” the same black level and the same white level for the three colors of a particular input source.

Black level setting : brightness

White level setting : contrast

The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allows the same reference for brightness and contrast control of the picture!

These two references also set the range in which the ADC will work for that particular source (this also explains why each input balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image ﬁle).

How can it be done ?

To balance the three color signals of a particular source there are conditions; in fact we must know the black and the white level of the source i.e. :

1. the considered source must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern

2. the considered source must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100 % black (background) full screen pattern

Image 7-30

White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when projecting a 100% white image (image A)

Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when projecting a 100% black image (image B).

The black balance can be done automatically with Automatic Black level.

The changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots, also called “digital noise”

An alternative to a full screen white/black pattern is a black-and-white checkerboard pattern where the white blocks will be used for white balance and the black blocks for black balance.

7.5.1 Introduction to Image ﬁles

Image ﬁles

An image ﬁle contains the main characteristics of a source (number of active lines,...). The projector’s memory contains a list of ﬁles corresponding to the most common sources : standard ﬁles.

When a new source corresponds to one of these ﬁles, a custom ﬁle is created. The custom ﬁle is automatically saved if a setting is altered (contrast, ...). The Save as... function allows to create and save a custom ﬁle.

The active ﬁlecanalwaysbeeditedinordertoﬁt exactly the source speciﬁcations.

AutoImage creates automatically the best suited image ﬁle (custom ﬁle) for a new source. AutoImage is used when :

- a new source is detected: AutoImage creates a new custom ﬁle which can always be edited if necessary.

- the AutoImage is launched via the button on the RCU, the projector’s OSD or from the desktop’s OSD

File notation

The notation of the image ﬁle happens as follows :

7.5.2 Load ﬁle

When to load a ﬁle ?

In some cases the user wants a particular ﬁle to be used for the display of a particular source. In this case the user should load the desired ﬁle from the image ﬁ les menu. The load ﬁle option will allow the user to choose between several ﬁles corresponding more or less to the active source speciﬁcations.

In normal operation the ﬁle selection (load) will be done automatically by Auto Image.

What to do if the image is not perfect ?

If the displayed image is not correct after Auto Image or after selecting the best ﬁtting ﬁle, go to the Edit menu, select the active ﬁle and change the settings.

7.5.3 Forced ﬁle load

Forced ﬁle load

In some cases the user wants only one particular ﬁle to be loaded for a particular input (source) i.e. to prevent the (automatic) load of an inadequate ﬁ le.

One can link a ﬁle to every input of each layer.

If a ﬁle is already selected (forced) to that particular input it will be indicated in the menu.

7.5.4 Auto Image

What can be done ?

Auto Image creates the best suited image ﬁle for the connected source.

It calculates/measures several source parameters :

• Total pixels per line

•Startpixel

•Phase

• Contrast/Brightness levels

Auto Image only works for data images.

The measure of the total number of pixels per line can be done through 2 methods

• Limited scan: a windowing system is used to allow fast tracking.

The operation takes about 20 seconds (depending on ﬁle)

• Full scan: tracking is done over the full range.

The operation takes about 1.5 minutes (depending on ﬁle)

The AGC hold interval is the time interval in which the AGC is inhibited (AGC hold = no update in video amplitude measurement), the advanced parameter allows to choose a short or long hold interval.

A long AGC hold interval eliminates Macrovision®disturbances since the AGC is hold during a long interval, thus reducing the probability to encounter a Macrovision

7.6.1 Introduction

What can be done ?

With the geometry corrections, this projector can be used in a wide variety of curved and ﬂat-screen applications, ranging from ﬂat or straightforward cylindrical displays to the wildest shapes that can be imagined: by pre-distorting the image inside the projector, a correct geometry can be achieved on curved screens, without requiring additional computational power on the IG’s side.

7.6.2 Geometry ﬁles

Description

A geometry ﬁle contains the geometry corrections. The projector’s memory contains a list of ﬁ les created for demo purposes e.g. to demonstrate the warping capabilities of the projector. These ﬁ les are called standard ﬁles.

The active ﬁlecanalwaysbeeditedinordertoﬁt exactly the screen shape. Editing a standard ﬁ le will automatically create a custom ﬁle.

Modes and Levels

The geometry adjustment is divided in 6 groups or modes :

• 2x2 : standard

• 3x3 : optional

• 5x5 : optional

• 9x9 : optional

• 17x17 : optional

• 33x33 : optional

These modes represent 21 levels, each level represents a group of points (or zones). Each level will interact with other levels, adjusting a point on a certain level will affect points in the levels underneath.

The level of the adjustment gives a measure of this impact. A level 1 adjustment happens on the 4 corners of the image and will thus affect the whole image whereas a level 21 will only affect the adjusted point (called local points).

This interaction is also visible in the edit menu (see Geometry Edit wizard)

Level Hierarchy

The fact that the adjustment affects other points means that a certain hierarchy must be respected when adjusting the geometry.

The hierarchy or levels are indicated in the following image

Description of the Edit dialog box

An intuitive user interface is used to perform all the geometry corrections. This gives the user real-time access to the distortion characteristics. Each individual point can be selected and shifted to the desired location in real time.

Depending on the geometry mode, the dialog box may slightly differ, the dialog box below is for a 2x2 mode adjustment.

7.6.6.4 Editing a geometry ﬁle

Introduction

The following procedures are written for a 2x2 mode adjustment. This adjustment involves the adjustment of the 4 corner points of the image. This is a level 1 adjustment and will affect the whole image.

The adjustment procedure is similar for all the modes. The only thing to keep in mind is the order in which the points will be adjusted i.e. always start with the lowest level points and end with the highest level zones (see Geometry distortio

A 3x3 mode adjustment gives the following new points to be adjusted ( the 4 points of the 2x2 mode being already adjusted : they are therefore left out of the grid). Note that in this mode, 2 levels are involved, the level 2 and the level 3.

A 5x5 mode adjustment gives the following new points to be adjusted. Note that in this mode 3 levels are involved, level 4, 5 and level 6 (previous adjusted points are left out).
