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.

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.

4.5.10.1 Network connections
What can be done ?
The projector can be connected to a network allowing it to be accessed from any connected network device. The Ethernet connection
can be used to upload/download projector software and/or to set up communication (TCP-packets) with the projector. This network
can be a local area network or a small dedicated network
Following operations are made possible :
• file transfer for firmware upgrade
• easy adjustment of projector
• storage of multiple projector configurations and set ups.
• wide range of control possibilities.
• linking the projectors to allow uniform color (Linked Dynacolor) and brightness (CLO) ,...
•...
The connection to the projector can be done via a crossed cable or via a HUB on the local network (LAN).
The Ethernet connection is also used to allow the Desktop integration. The software on the delivered CDROM
must therefore be installed on the desktop PC. See the Desktop integration software User Guide.

4.5.10.2 Network settings
CAUTION: Make sure that a DHCP server is available in the network and works fine.
4. Installation
In normal conditions, the network detection takes few seconds. This means that the total time needed to
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.
What can be done?
These settings are used to set the Ethernet Communication parameters.
Following parameters are available :
MAC Address MAC Address of the projector (This is a non-adjustable value programmed into the Ethernet
IP Address (Current) IP Address of the projector (This is a non-adjustable value).

7.4.3 Aspect ratio
Aspect ratios
The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio.
However, most of the (non-HDTV) DVD sources nowadays use the wide screen 16:9 or even the Cinemascope
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 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.

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
R59770121 NH-12 07/09/2009 67
Page 72
7. Advanced
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 scr
2. the considered source 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).
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
7. Advanced
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

7.5.6 Save as (create a custom file)
Creating a custom file
When the loaded file is a standard file there is a possibility of saving it as a custom file (= creating a custom file) , this is done with
the save as function. The saved file will always be a custom file (saved
in the custom directory)
For sources that are often used, a custom fi le should be created. This custom file will then be loaded automatically and will prevent the AutoImage from being launched.
How to save a file ?
1. Press MENU to activate the Tool bar
2. Press → to select the Image files item
3. Press ↓ to Pull down the Image files menu
4. Use ↑ or ↓ to select Save as...

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 file will automatically create a custom
file.
The file notation in the Geometry files menu describes a file path.
For example : /Standard/Dist_file1.xml
/Standard/Dist_file1.xml
file extension = xml
file name
Type of file : standard or custom

• Linearity
The option program (see Option key in the Service menu) allows, however, to upgrade the geometry features to up to the 33x33
mode i.e. a geometry adjustment consisting of the entire im
tions i.e. :
age divided in 33x33 regions that can be shifted to the desired location.

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)

On top of this hierarchy, the 2x2 points. Adjusting points on level 1 will affect level 2 till 21.
At the bottom of the structure we find the 33x33 points adjustment, adjusting grid points on level 21 will not affect any other points,
these are called local points.

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.

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).

The adjustment is done in small steps. Adjusting for instance from 0 to 100 using the Adjust mode is not the
ideal method. The use of the Ed
