1.1 General introduction
1. Introduction
Configuration tool
A uniquely powerful and easy to use configuration tool for the Barco cinema projector. This touch panel
provides all the necessary tools and only those tool necessary for the connected projector to setup and
control this projector. A comprehensive array of easy to access menu pages provide the projectors digital
input, output and screen display via a combination of simple buttons and displays.
Quick and Easy configuration
Clearly indicated tab pages allow the control of Projector connection, configuration, test, color calibration
and configuration with an existing automation system. All actions can be activated by touching the drawn
control on the touch panel.
Depending on the user level, functions are enabled or disabled on that touch panel. The enabled functions
are only accessible via a password entry and that prevents misalignment once everything is correctly
aligned.

2.4.1 About Server control
Introduction
With server control, one can remotely take control of a server by using VNC. Version 3.3 of the VNC
protocol is used.
Once a connection is made, the Configuration and Control pane shows the current active screen of this
server in a maximized server control area of 640 x 480 pixels..
The operator has now the possibility to control the server via the touch panel. All functions available on
the server can be activated via the touch panel.

VNC
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical (GUI) desktop sharing system which uses
the RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol to remotely control another computer. It transmits
the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen
updates back in the other direction, over a network.
About the connection
When during a session a connection was made with a server, this connection is broken when switching
to another item in the menu. But, the software will remember that there was a connection and will automatically reconnect when returning to the Server tab.
2.4.2 Connection properties
About the properties
The server properties must be set each time a connection must be established with a different server. T
last used server properties are stored for reuse during a next connection.
2.4.2.1 Start up the properties window
How to start up
1. While in Control,tiponServer.
If there was no previous connection, the Server overview window is displayed, continue with step 2.

Using Display
• If connecting to a Windows or Mac server, the display number must be 0 (zero)
• If connecting to a Linux or Unix server, the number of the display must be specified.
Using Port :
• By default, the VNC client connects to a VNC server on TCP/IP port 5900. If another port must be
used, enable the Use as port and enter the port number.

Color pallet
When 8-bit session is checked, only 8 bit color are transferred from the server to the client and the server
display is shown as an 8 bit color display at the client side. This will reduce the necessary bandwidth for
the communication.
When not checked, full colors are used to reproduce the server display at the client side.
Scaling
The server display will be displayed on the touch panel in a window of 540 x 400 pixels.
The client has the possibility to scale the server display so that it is shown as a full display or as a display

Different encoding methods (compression methods) can be used to transfer data between the server and
the client.
When Auto is checked, the software checks the bandwidth of the connections and selects the best encoding method for that moment.
The Copy rectangle encoding can be used when the client already has the same pixel data elsewhere
in its framebuffer. The server simply sends an X,Y coordinate giving the position from which the client
can copy the rectangle of pixel data. This means that operations such as dragging or scrolling a window,
which involve substantial changes to the screen, may only require a few bytes. Not all servers suppor
copy rectangle encoding.

3.4.2 Input settings, HD-SDI
4:2:2
A commonly used term for a component digital video format. A ratio of sampling frequencies
used to digitize the luminance and color difference components (Y, R-Y, B-Y) of a video signal.
It is generally used as shorthand for ITU-R 601. The term 4:2:2 describes that for every four
samples of Y, there are two samples each of R-Y and B-Y, giving more chrominance bandwidth
in relation to luminance compared to 4:1:1 sampling.
4:4:4
Similar to 4:2:2, except that for every four luminance samples, the color channels are also
sampled four times.
The HD-SDI source and port selection windows changes depending the HD-SDI input
board (board with 2 or 4 inputs)

Summary
Typical scenario for 3D projection:
The left eye image data comes in over a HDSDI 24 p signal on port A on the projector.
The right eye image data comes in over a HDSDI 24p signal on port B of the projector.
On the interface board both signals are combined to a 48 Hz signal. Left and right frames are combined.
The signals are further up scaled to 96 Hz at the level of the Modular Formatter and DMD
The48Hzsignalscanbeoutputtedtoanexte
be outputted through the GPO connection.
For 3D projection, with Dual link HDSDI input where the input A represents the left eye stream, and input

3.7.2.3 Frame rate multiplication
Introduction
The system provides the capability to do frame rate multiplication based on an N/M system.
68
R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 06/06/2012
Page 73
3. Configuration
For this system, M and N are defined as follows:
•Misdefined as the number of input frames of data (defined by input vertical sync) that are required to
constitute a full frame of image data. This parameter is used to determine the “base” or “full” image
frame rate for the input data, in the form: Base rate (Hz) = Input frame rate (Hz) / M.
•Nisdefined as the number of frames of data to be displayed during a base rate time. This parameter
is used to determine the output vertical rate, in the form: Output rate (Hz) = Base rate (Hz) * N
The following are a few examples:
Example 1:
• Full frame of picture data input each vsync, therefore M = 1
• One frame of picture data output each base rate, therefore N = 1

Example 2:
• ½ frame of picture data input each vsync, therefore M = 2
• frames of picture data output each base rate, therefore N = 4

3.7.2.4 3D Test pattern
What can be done?
With the 3D test pattern, it is possible to test the complete setup in combination with an external polarizer
system, or active polarity glasses. The output frequency of the test pattern can be entered so that the
simulation of the input signal is completely.
Entering the output frequency
1. Tip in the input field next to Activate. (image 3-39)
2. Enter the new frequency with the keyboard.
Or,
tip on the up down control of the spin box until the desired frequency is reached.

How to check the complete setup
1. Tip on Activate to run the test pattern.
A 3D test pattern generated on the interface board will be displayed.
Alternating, the left and the right pattern will be displayed.
For the best test pattern and to display the pattern for the left or the right eye:
- set the frequency on 48 Hz
- set frame rate multiplication on 4:2
- set 3D control, 3D L/R Input Reference on WhiteLineCodeTrueor Blue Line Code True.
- set 3D L/R Display Reference on Use GPI 2(polarity = true)
- set 3D Dark Time Adjustment, 3D L/R Output Reference Delay and 3D L/R Output Reference Polarity
as needed.
Either the left or the right eye pattern will be displayed.
When e.g. the left pattern (indicated with L) is displayed, only the left eye may see this image. When it
is not so, the setup is wrong and should be corrected.
2. Change the 3D setting L/R Display Reference to Use GPI 2(polarity = inverted).
When the left patterns was displayed, now the right pattern will be displayed. Only the right eye may
see this pattern. When it is not so, the setup is wrong and should be corrected.

About <White Line Code> or <Blue Line Code>
The White/Blue Line Code is an embedded methodology for specifying whether a specific frame of input
data has left or right eye data.
• The bottom pixel-row of the left-eye subfield should be pure white (blue) for the left-most 25% of the
pixel-row, and pure black for the remainder of the row.
• The bottom pixel-row of the right-eye subfield should be pure white(blue) for the left most 75% of the
pixel-row, and pure black for the remainder of the row.

The system will only sample the blue channel, allowing the external user to use either White or Blue Line
Code. The system will blank out the encoded
line so that it is not displayed.
This mechanism is only relevant when using a single stream input. The input reference is encoded in the
content. (Information is on R, G and B channels).
This information can also be on blue channel only (Blue line bottom) Blue Line Code.

Line interleave
(1) Odd lines
(2) Even lines
The system alternates the lines between the left and the right eye. It starts with the first line containing
the left eye information and the second line containing the right eye information. It continues in that way
until a full frame is produced.
Input frame dominance
Only relevant for dual stream input.
The frames are arriving at the same time, but they will be inserted sequentially.
Insert order selection:
• Left (L1, R1, L2, R2 ...)
• Right (R1, L1, R2, L2 ...)
L/R Input Reference GPI
Only relevant if L/R Input Reference is set to Use GPI 2. Polarity can be true or inverted.
L/R Display Reference
The optional 3D L/R Display Reference signal is used to spe
during a specific display frame. This signal is referenced to the display frame rate which is specified by the
Frame Rate Multiplication command. The system will sample this reference in the middle of each display
frame, inverting the sample for use during the following display frame.

Dark Time Adjustment
Between switching the frames the image needs to be black the same time the external devices need to
switch (external devices can be 3D Glasses, or polarizing filter).
For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and
right eye sees. This software command is used to adjust the projector dark time to meet the requirements
of whatever switching mechanism is being used.
3D dark time adjustment will be disabled (set to 0) whenever 3D is disabled. With 3D enabled and 3D
dark time adjustment disabled, the projector will be set to its default dark time of approximately 388 µs.
There is no dark time when 3D is disabled.
