2. Installation guidelines

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Overview

• Safety warnings

• Installation guidelines

2.1 Safety warnings

WARNING: Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258)

delivered with the projector.

Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion.

Mercury Vapor Warnings

Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

• Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.

• Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.

• Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a pregnant woman).

• Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

2.2 Installation guidelines

Ambient temperature check

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 : 40 °C or 104 °F

Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F

The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).

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

CAUTION: Harmful Environmenta l Contamination Precaution

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 as well as free flow at the ventilation outlets. The installation must also allow easy access to the consumable parts ( dustfilters, lamps, ...) 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. Make sure that the projector never runs with dirty dustfilters as this will dramatically reduce the lifetime of the consumables. It is advised to clean the dustfilters on a regular basis and to replace them at any lamp change. Barco reserves itself the right to refuse warranty replacement of consumables if they have been used in a projector with dirty airfilters. Only use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics .

Failure to take suitable precautions nate 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 manufactures 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 manufacture reserves the right to refuse warranty repair if a projector has been subject to wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.

What about ambient light ?

The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that interference with the screen is minimal.

Which screen type ?

There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for projection applications. Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (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 ( 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 more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.

A 10 0% Off-Axis position means that the position of the centre of the lens is shifted by half the screen height.

Never use a short throw lens in an Off-Axis installation. Shifting the lens will not guarantee optimal image quality.

CAUTION: Only for projectors containing a Server (Single Board Computer) : The harddisk in the server is

formatted in horizontal position but ca n operate in all axes (6 directions). The projector should not be tilted more then +/- 5 degrees from these positions, otherwise error rates will increase.

RGB data connection

The RGB input consists of 5 BNC

• 3 for the color signals R,G,B

• 2 for the sync signals H (horizontal sync), V (vertical sync)

RGBS : If the source disposes of a composite sync output i.e. one wire includes the horizontal and the vertical sync than the V BNC must not be connected, resulting in 4 BNC being connected (V is free).

B : If the source disposes of a sync on Green output i.e. the Green color signal includes the horizontal and the vertical sync

than the H and V BNC’s must not be connected, resulting in 3 BNC being connected (H and V are free).

4.2.6 Connecting a DVI signal

DVI

Digital Visual Interface is a display interface developed in response to the proliferation of digital flat panel displays.

The digital video connectivity standard that was developed by DDWG (Digital Display Work Group). This connection standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins that handles both digital and analog video. This standard uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal) from Silicon Image and DDC (Display Data Channel) from VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association).

DVI can be single or dual link.

Aspect ratios

The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio. However, most of the DVD sources u 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 “anamorphic” term means that the original wide screen image is squeezed in order to fit the 4:3 aspect ratio.

7.5.5 Input balance

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals

When transporting signals, there is always 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,

The objective of i

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 explains also why each input balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).

Black level

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 sour

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

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).

ce in question must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern

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

R59770079 BARCO ID H250/500 11/05/2007 59

Page 64

An alternative to a full screen White/black pattern is the standard gray scale pattern, the white bar will be used for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

It is not necessary to adjust the black balance. Its value is automatically set to an optimal value (512).

9. Adjust the blue white level (gain) on a minimal value

Note: thisminimal valueisnot necessary ,provided that the 2other colors are notinfluencing toomuch the color tobe adjusted,

in fact the aim is to minimize the effect of the two other colors since there is a risk of reaching too soon the transition (bright spots) due to the contribution of these two other colors signals.

7.7.1 Introduction to

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 file is not automatically saved as a custom file. The Save as...

The active file can always be edited in order to fit exactly the source specifications.

function allows to create and save a custom file.

AutoImage creates automatically the best suited image file (custo m 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

• Total pixels per line

• Start pixel

• Phase

• Contrast/Brightness levels

Auto Image works only 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)

Image 7-77 The projector color gamut is defined by the triangle formed by the x, y coordinates of Red Green and Blue

Due to the tolerance on optical components the x, y values of this color gamut of each projector will differ.

When working with a multichannel setup, these color differences between different projectors can be smoothed out by matching the color gamuts of the diff

8.1 Cleaning the lens

To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces, we have developed recommendations for clean ing . FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

Necessary tools

To ra ys e eTMcloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

Howtocleanthelens?

Proceed as follow :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.

Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.

3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.

4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

8. Maintenance

CAUTION: Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the

cloth.

Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contamina te the cloth.

Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTMcloth.
