2.1 Safety warnings
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.
2.2 Installation guidelines
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; c

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

2. Installation Guidelines
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 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with an aspect ratio of
4to3.

At the end of the lifetime of lamp2 (x hours) the projector generates an alert message.
Image 4-8
A countdown time of 4 minutes is triggered before the projector is shut down (standby).
If the lamp runtime has not been reset, the alert message will reappear at the next start up (with again 4 minutes countdown time).
This alert message can be escaped with MENU or BACK, but the countdown continues.
Contact a qualified Barco technician for lamp replacement.
In Dual mode the lamp end of lifetimes are reached at the same time, however if in dual lamp mode one lamp
has been used m
ore than the other (for example if the projector has been working temporarily in single mode),
one lamp will reach its end of lifetime sooner than the other lamp, which brings us to the Single mode operation.
Using a lamp for more than x hours is dangerous as the lamp could explode.
The lamp runtime reset as well as the lamp replacement can only be done by a Barco authorized technician.

Overview

• Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU
4.7.1 Address setting
Projector address
Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.
Common address
Default address. Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common
address.
Why a projector address ?
As more than one projector can be installed in a room, the separate projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or
computer. Therefor each projector has its own address.
Set up an individual Projector Address.
The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.
Projector controlling.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Installation menu.
Whentheaddressisset,theprojectorcanbecontrolledby:
• RCU for addresses between 0 and 9.
• computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 0 and 255.
A projector will respond to a RCU set to the common address ’0’ regardless of what address is set in the projector itself (common
address of projector should also be “0” ).
The RCU is default programmed with address 0 , ’common address’.
If it is necessary to control a specific projector, then enter the projector a
address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.
Some projectors may operate in domestic environments where other equipments may listen to the common
address “0” , therefore the common address can also be set to “1”.

Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.
1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The projector’s address will be displayed in a ’Text box’
To continue using the RCU with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with the
digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing the address key. For example : if the
Address key displays projector address 003, then press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s address
to match the projector’s address. Do not press 0–0–3 . This will address the remote control to ’0’ and control
all projectors in the room. 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.
Address 0 (or 1) should always allow communication

7.2 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.

See the blanking procedure in the Display settings menu.
If the selected source is not entirely displayed always check first the blanking settings in the image menu
since the active custom file may contains blanking.

quite sure that the amplitude of these color signals is subject to alterations.
An example of alteration may be a DC component added to the signal, in the form of a DC offset repositioning the black level, since
this black level (“brightness”) will become crucial later on ( clamping circuit) it will result in “black not being black”.
Another value that is subject to alteration is the amplitude of the signal, resultin

Remark on the input balance of a component video source
Before starting the Input Balance procedure, generate a signal with dominant white parts.
Input balance is also available for a component video source under following conditions:
• A component video signal is present on the BNC’s
• ”Data on BNC’s” is selected in the Source selection menu
• Cr/Y/Cb is selected in the Advanced menu of the corresponding image file
The procedure is the same as for a data source except:

8.2 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 configurations ?
• 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.

The projector will always switch to the lamp with the shortest runtime when the difference between the runtimes of lamp1 and lamp
2 reaches 100 hours, switching from one lamp to another happens only at switching on of the projector and not during operation.
When the lamp fails or reaches its maximum runtime the projector switches automatically to the other lamp without interrupting the
projection.The failure is logged and the lamp will never be initialized in the future.

Introduction to image files
An image files 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, these are the standard files (file extension= *.s). When a new source corresponds
to one of these files, a custom file (file extension=*.C) is created and saved for future use.
The maximum number of custom files that can be created is 99, the four last files are sytematicaly overwritten.
When there is a little difference, the file can also be loaded and then edited until the source specs are reached.
The AutoImage function creates automatically the best suited image file (custom file) for a new source. AutoImage is used when:
- a new source is detected : AutoImage crea
- the AutoImage button on the RCU is pressed
AutoImage works only in full screen mode
tes a new custom file which can always be edited if necessary.
If the AutoImage function does not succeed in finding a file and no file is loaded (load list is empty), which
means that the source is not displayed, then use the copy function,
