2. Installation guidelines

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

2.1 Safety warnings

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

delivered with the projector.

Insure that the room can be easily evacuated 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 or lamp explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

• Insure the projector is installed in ventilated rooms only.

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

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

• Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture or lamp 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 Environmental 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 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 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.

2. Installation guidelines

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 front projected images and those for rear
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 (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.

Image size

The projector is designed for projecting an image size with a screenwidth from
4to3.

1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with an aspect ratio of

Image retention

Image retention can affect LCD projectors, in extreme cases, permanent “burn” can occur if still/repetitive images are left on the
screen for long periods of time. Such damage to the panels is NOT covered by warranty.

Please ensure that the following precautions are taken to avoid this phenomenon :

1. Use a screensaver (that moves)

2. Periodically change/alter any background images on the desktop

3. Turn off the projector when not in use.

A 100% 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 hard disk in the server is

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

4.4 Setting 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).

For more info on addresses see the appendix

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).

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.

thin 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default address (zero address) and

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).

6.4.2 Aspect ratio

Aspect ratios

The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio. However, most of the DVD sources use nowadays the
widescreen 16:9 or even the cinemascope 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

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 widescreen image is squeezed in order to fit the 4:3 aspect
ratio.

We can conclude that the thumb rule for DVD projection is to always leave the projector in 4:3 format except when dealing with
anamorphic sources where the 16:9 setting allows the best reproduction.

The Auto function calculates an aspect ratio based on the information stored in the image files.

What can be done ?

The aim here is to always show the resolution of the source independently of the resolution of the LCD panels. This way better
image reproduction is obtained since no up or down scaling is done on the source.

video sources).

6.4.10 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,

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

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

A

Image 6-54

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

Note: this minimal value is not necessary , provided that the 2 other colors are not influencing too much the color to be 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.

11.Adjust the Blue white level (gain) until bright spots appear on the white part of the image

12.Adjust the Red white level (gain) until bright spots appear on the white part of the image

The projected image should now be noisy neutral grey.

if one uses a gray scale pattern, the bright spots should appear in the white bar.

Selecting Preset restores the factory input balance setting

The input balance settings are stored in the image file, each source has its own input balance.

6.5.1 Introduction to PiP

PiP

PiP stands for "Picture in Picture" and allows to display multiple windows containing each of them an image. The
windows may be of the video or data type.

What are the different possibilities within the PiP mode ?

The input section of the IQ projector allows a multitude of combinations of different input signals which may be projected in the 4
windows of the PiP screen.

The PiP mode allows independent settings for each window:

• Image settings : contrast, brightness, tint, color,...

• Vertical and horizontal shift of each window all over the screen

• Resizing of the window

• Digital Zoom

• Linking of (an) audio input(s) to a single or multiple windows

What are the different PiP layouts ?

• Full screen

The full screen is used to display one of the selected sources.
Browsing through the sources is possible with the PiP Adjust button on the remote.

• 2–by-2 raster

The screen is divided into 4 subscreens containing 2 Video and 2 Data sources.

6.8.7 Forced file load

What can be done ?

Forced file load allows to force or lock one particular custom file to be loaded for one particular input. This way one can guarantee
that the same desired file is always used for a particular source.

For each layer (layer 1, layer 2, layer 3) we can enable or disable the forced file load. The specification for the file to be selected for
each input on that layer is done via RS

232.

see the RS232 User Guide for more information on the Forced file load command to be sent.
