2. Installation guidelines

2. 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
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 su
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 installatio
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 de
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
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 clean

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 an
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 aluminiz
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 bright

4.4 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).

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).

Displaying the Projector Address in Standby mode

1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil. (image 4-4)

All the LED’s (3) on the top cover of the projector go out.

Then LED1 starts blinking green the number of hundreds. After that LED2 starts blinking the number of tens. Finally LED3 starts
blinking green the number of units. If this is done, the original status of the LED’s is restored.

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 defaul

t“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.

6.4.3 Show native resolution

Reality(SXGA+)

Native resolution of the LCD panels = 1400 x 1050 pixels (4:3)

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.

How to define color?

The CIE chromaticity diagram is one way to plot the colors the human eye can see.

Image 6-40
The CIE chromaticity diagram

A projector can only reproduce a certain color gamut within this diagram. This color gamut is defined by the triangle formed by the
x, y coordinates of Red Green and Blue. These parameters are used by the DynaColor™ adjustment.

Image 6-41
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.

Image 6-42
The 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 different projectors to a Common Color Gamut.

The Common Color Gamut

In a basic setup with 2 projectors, the perimeter of the Common Color Gamut is described by the 6 points of intersection of the 2
separate color gamuts.

white peaking = 0.

In the projectors iD R600+ and iD Pro R600+(R9010341 and R9010351) however, the white peaking must be 10
during the measurement.

The dialogbox shown here are as displayed in the iD R600 and iD Pro R600 (with the field White ).The dialogbox
displayed in the iD R600+ and iD Pro R600+ contain the field White+ instead of White.

Basic Dynacolor™ Adjustment

We assume we have a basic setup with 2 projectors, the Dynacolor™ adjustment is done by using only the Dynacolor™ menu:

1. Enable Dynacolor™ on both projectors.

2. Assume the first projector has the following measured values. (image 6-47)

3. Assume the second projector has the follow

4. We start by setting both projectors to the common red coordinate.

Tip: Draw a quick sketch of both gamuts as a graphical help. (image 6-49)

5. Display the internal color bar pattern on both projectors.

6. In the desired values, adjust the red coordinate to a common value for both projectors.

Tip: The color barof the adjustedcoordinate will no longer be displayedin case thecoordinate isnot presentwithin the gamut

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.

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

The objective of input balancin

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 source in quest

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

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

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
