Guarantee and Compensation

Barco Control Rooms GmbH provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the
legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all deliv­ered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults.
Barco Control Rooms GmbH must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.

The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and
software on the date of commissioning, at the latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event
of justified notice of complaint, Barco Control Rooms GmbH can repair the fault or provide a re­placement at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossi­ble or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of
the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or indirect
damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services pro­vided by Barco Control Rooms GmbH, being a component of the system or independent services,
will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of prop­erties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence on the part of Barco Control

3 Desig n and Function

This chapter provides a technical description of the equipment listing the fundamental characteris­tics and functional principles. Knowledge of this section is not absolutely essential for operation.

3.1 Compo nents of Cyclops

YCLOPS consists of the following components:

C

 Mechanical structure: the metal housing incorporates the projector, mirror and screen.

 Projector: The projector employed in C

YCLOPS is based on most modern 3-panel poly-Silicon

LCD technology. It is an independent device, including lamp, control unit, interfaces. The
projector is mounted on a support; once adjusted, the position is locked, and no re-adjustment
is needed.

 Deflection mirror: a mirror in the top part of the housing deflects the light onto the rear of the

projection screen.

 For Cyclops 100S, two kinds of screen are available, a double element Fresnel-Lenticular

screen with high gain and a single element diffusion screen with high vertical and horizontal
viewing angles (important when sitting close to the wall)

3.1.1 Structu r e

The structure incorporates the projector, the mirror, and the screen. All elements are optically ad­justed to provide an optimized image. Due to the principle of rear projection, high contrast ratio is
provided even at daylight.

If required, Cylops can be outfit with an architectural trim around the screen and/or a cladding.

3.1.2 Deflecti o n Mirror

Due to folding up the optical path by a mirror the entire depth of CYCLOPS is only
1487 millimeters.

3.1.3 Projecti o n System

The projector is mounted via a support. The light path is folded up by a mirror to shorten the in­stallation depth. The image is projected onto the rear of the screen.

Figure 3-1

 Poly-Silicon TFT-LCD

The LCD panels are based on Poly-Silicon technology. Poly-Silicon material consists of nu­merous small crystals leading to small circuitry. The results are a big aperture (ratio of a pixel’s
shutter area to it’s total area), high speed and reliability. The panels have 1,310,720 (SXGA
1280×1024) pixels.

3.1.4 Screen M odule

The image is generated in the screen module.

Two kinds of screens are available, a double element Fresnel-Lenticular screen with a high gain
and a single element diffusion screen, which, due to its excellent white field uniformity, is recom­mended when sitting close to the wall.

Fresnel-Lenticular Screen

The screen is a double element system with 4 active lens surfaces for optimum light control. It
combines high brightness uniformity with a fine pitch and wide viewing angles. The rear element
consists of a Fresnel lens which directs all projected light forwards at a right-angle. The first len­ticular lens on the front element of the screen controls vertical viewing angles. The unique profile
of the wide angle lenticular lens distributes the light horizontally.

 Fresnel Lens

The Fresnel lens deflects the light coming from the projection lens system such that it falls
perpendicularly onto the lenticular screen.

 Lenticular Lens

The lenticular lens guarantees that the light is distributed horizontally.

Diffusion Screen

Diffusion screens distribute the projected light evenly over a wide horizontal and vertical viewing
area. The reflection value (gain) is 1.They are appreciated for their versatility. It is a perfect choice
for any application which requires a wide viewing angle or where ambient light conditions are
controllable.
